    Speaking of baths, its been weeks and weeks since Amber got steady sitting up, so why did only occur to me last night to let her sit in the bath? :o She loved it.

    DH and I had a bit of a... disagreement this morning after he decided that I was going to tesco on my own while DS2 was at nursery and he was going to stay in bed. I ended up sitting Amber on the bed and telling him 'deal with it', he was not amused :cool: Off I went to tesco, sat down with a cooked breakfast and a coffee and a paper (bliss), shopped, collected DS2 and expected him to be in a right mood when I got back.

    However, he was happy. Why was he happy? Because he made Amber lunch of a chocolate spread sandwich PRAM004.jpg

  • Wedding tables - I got all the bits myself, and left the venue in charge of putting it out - we bought a job load of vases and some flower stems from the florist, so we just had one flower in each vase, then had some sparkly confetti stuff and the table label/name thingies were just printed out on our clapped out printer, and put in some tesco value picture frames! We didn't worry about who sat in which chairs, except on the top table, so I didn't worry about that bit.

    I think weddings only need to be as complicated as you want them to be. Most of the "details" no-one is going to notice but you (well... they will notice them, but unless you spend all day moaning about it, no-one will know that the napkins aren't really the colour you wanted ;) )

    washing up liquid with some sugar works wonders and if you have any kitchen degreaser a few squirts always does the trick for me with plenty of hot water.
    Why is there never anything on tv when I am home alone and in charge of the remote ;)

    Who is near Newcastle??
    How near do you count as near? There's me, Becles, Beenie, newbie_maz, angela and kindof in the north east. I think Agutka may be somewhere around here too.
    I decorated my own tables too - I bought round mirror tiles from Ikea and put 3 thick pillar candles of different heights in the middle of them. I then sprinkled leaf skeletons in silver and pale blue around the bottom. They looked beautiful and I think it cost me about £4 per table.
    I'm very impressed by all this table decorating. We wouldn't have bothered but someone from church volunteered to do flowers to decorate the chapel (which is where the reception was too). I think she found it a bit difficult that I had no views whatsoever on the matter.

    I SO agree with this!!! I said the whole way through planning my wedding (all FOUR months :cool:) that I didn't give a shoite what everyone else did or what I should be doing - I just wanted whatever made hubby and I happy. It took my MIL a while to catch on to this and she kept saying 'but you have got to have xxx' and I would say 'oh sorry - is the marriage not real if I don't?' :D The worst was she couldn't get her head about me not wanting an adult bridesmaid and her asking hubby to choose one of my four close friends for me as I obviously found it too difficult to be honest and choose the one I liked best :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    We didn't have a cake, a photographer or a sit down meal, I was walked down the 'aisle' by my mum AND dad, my mum gave a speech instead of my dad, hubby had 2 best men (1 being DSS) and we got married in a cave :D
