    Well - one million factors to consider in personal circumstances beyond base net income I guess, but also costs tend to expand to fit income which is no-one's fault but my own I know! :o
    True and I hope it didn't sound like a criticism - I just meant that it wasn't something I thought likely to put people into severe financial starits.

    morning, had a bad night sat on the phone to him and got all the answers i wanted and now i feel sick, have had 2 hours sleep as it is all tumbling through my head:( i promised the kids a day at the beach but all i wanna do is curl up and give up. Everything has been a lie since my baby girl was born, just wish i had been brave enough then to do what i have just done. the worst thing is i still love him, but i have so much hate and anger in me and i know i cannot be stupid again and make the same mistake again.

    Thanks Becles...I take you got married there:)

    She has picked this venue and package - Anvil Hall - it looks lovely and very reasonably priced imo:)

    It does look nice. We didn't look in there - just saw it from the outside when I walked past!

    We got married in the Original Blacksmith Forge workshop. It was so romantic thinking of all the countless runaway couples that must have married in that spot over the years.

    Traditionally they put the bride and grooms hands together and hit the anvil with the hammer. It's to signifiy that like metal marriage has a tough bond and it's difficult to be broken. As we had the boys, the minister put the boys hands inbetween our hands and we were "bonded" as a family. That was a lovely bit as I wasn't expecting that to happen :cool:

    Arranged everything else myself rather than use one of the planning services as it worked out a bit cheaper and I got exactly what I wanted.

    Pleased you are ok caz. If there is anything we can do to help, you know where we are.

    Happy birthday Sami - hope you have a lovely day xx

    Charlotte loves sand and water. She's got a sandpit in the garden and a paddling pool and she's spent all week wandering round in a swimming costume just generally slopping about :D

    Off to work this morning, then match this afternoon. Have a good day all xx
    Here I go again on my own....

    Hugs Caz, I'm sorry to hear that you've had a rough night. Please stay strong, you've come through so much already.

    Hammy- sorry to hear you and D had a bad night. I hope you both manage a good nap today.

    Busy day at chez GISI- need to deliver some NCT newsletters, bake carrot cakes and cheese scones, take H swimming, watch football, go to Slimming World and pick up some donated cookies for tomorrow's BF Awareness Week picnic. Phew, I feel tired just thinking about it!

    (((Hugs))) Caz. It must be so hard for you and after the time you've been together it's normal to love and hate him at the same time! But you're a very strong lady and you've got to do whats right for you and the children.
    What is he being like?, is he sorry?, regretting being a to55er?
    You know we're all here for you and we've all got open pm boxes.

    Course you can still come!!!!!!!! You can borrow my baby if you like :D

    But i'll want to take him home with me. :o

    I'm going to stay here and try and finish my front garden. I need to get some pretty plants, then it's done. Just the horrendous back garden to tackle then. :(

    Huge happy birthday to young Sami. Enjoy the cake.

    Sugar - have you had an email from secret sales? I've got one saying my stuff has finally been dispatched. I emailed them while u were away and the said Hotmilk had som issue that was delaying them.

    Yes, yesterday - finally! I was just wondering where my lovely bras were.
    Hmmm, I don't think your sleep vibes worked :(

    I hope you and Miss Molly feel better this morning

    I'm sorry lovely, can you sleep today at all?

    Molly produced a code brown this morning that must have wiped out everything in its path. Hopefully it's taken her nasty tummy germs with it.

    Big hugs sweetie. It's horrible and it'll hurt and go on hurting, but you're doing the best you can for you and your kids.
