    Hi Paula, glad you like the jump.
    some people just use google images for phrases topics that appeal to them and then skim through the search reults and print off ones that appeal to put on their boards. Also I didn't buy poster board for mine but used a big bit of cardoard we had lying around. may not be as sturdy but was cheap.
    lol about Oprah. hehe
    looking forward to seeing your groom and flowers etc. noticed you got asked for a quote on FB too. yay.

    Paula - meant to say before - love your topper!!!! Might be worth contacting Skint, then if anyone asks for any she could promote them? I am planning on blogging you too when I get set up :)

    Mambury, Jo, Mabel, Nix - he has spoilt-narcisstic-needs-a-good-slapping-!!!!!! syndrome in the words of my Jamaican friend 'he needs a lash'. The thing about my husband's family is that they are like a Cosby family. 2.4 kids, 2 foreign holidays a year, good upbringing, good jobs... I mean most people would be happy to have an upbringing like that.

    Can't believe what a child he is... he was whingeing just yesterday about the fact that he never got to go to butlins...why did he have to go to Spain!!!! Why did he have to go transatlantic!!!! FIL & I both rolled our eyes heavenwards and shook our heads.

    The thing about my husband is unfortunately when he was born he was the first boy in a generation. He has 6 aunts & 3 uncles (and loads more cousins and other rellies besides) and was spoilt rotten, it turned my stomach last time because as much as I love his Grandma she was blowing raspberries on his stomach... he is 31 !!!!!!.

    When he was living with his mum at the age of 25 she tidied his room every day. Parents have been married for 42 years now... but his brother polar opposite... in fact his brother took his dad to A&E the morning he was sick, pretty hard worker generally, quiet and not selfish. In fact can't believe they came from the same womb.
    lolllll god it feels it feels good to rant:T

    Jo - the thing with their relationship is that my FIL is the only one who doesn't think that sunshines out of OH's pert behind, while everyone else blows smoke up his bottom. And I have the same problem with my husband as the problem with him is that it self esteem is too high... so high that he thinks he is God on earth.

    Mambury - don't worry I know exactly what you mean... Father is Ghanaian... and he is Jeremy Kyle worthy when it comes to his views of women.... still remember him saying that there was no point in educating me as I'm just a girl and it is pointless... amongst other things....:mad:

    I have some clarity already... but, well... let's see where the next few months where OH is going to be as well... I've reached my personal limit.

    Paula - thanks sweets must have missed you while writing my rant :)

    God... I'm doing well on the writing front today ain't I... :)
