    Hmm pennies i always find i need to mention something at least 3 times for my OH to listen properly lol
    Maybe he was doing his best poker face aswell... you never know he might already have got the ring ready and waiting ;-)
    Is there a wedding thread on these forums anywhere if so they need a link to yours Jody lol
    Though Adam you say that men don't get excited about weddings but have you seen don't tell the bride... it means STAG PARTY!! lol
    Plus i do remember on one of the bride war shows they had the bloke planning the whole wedding and the woman didn't have a clue what it was going to be like She must've been crazy but he did a good job.

    There is a weddings board ya know....I have visited maybe once or twice (read that as every day!) :rotfl:. Actually I'm trying to help a lady find a venue here in my home county so hopefully I help in some ways :D

    I got my first ever Mastercard today :j

    Before you all panic......it's a pre paid jobbie which I opened just by putting £10 on it, you don't have to pay the admin fee with Ryanair if you book with one of these and they don't charge commission for ATM withdrawals AND you get a good exchange rate :), thought it might be handy for going back to Ireland, which I am sure we will do in the near future!

    I didn't say anything last night but the dinner OH cooked for me was ABYSMAL!! Even he said so himself, I think it just all went wrong :rotfl:. To make up for it he is making me a Thai curry, Om nom nom!! I just wish he would hurry up mixing in the deck room and cook it already..

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D

    Oh my days it was AMAZING, like the best EVER in the WORLD! om nom nom nom nom nom.

    Now because I am always a woman and can do 2 things at once, whilst eating my dinner I managed to list some coral from my tank on Ebay :D, I was going to give it away on my fish geek forum but when I went on earlier the guy I got it from months ago is selling all his and I thought it would be a bit mean to give it away under his nose! OH did some research on Ebay and it's selling quite well on there :), I wont make a fortune and posting/packing it could be fun but it might make me a few pennies!

  • It was the african couple, erm, Joseph and Mercy.

    They didn't actually get married there, it was her dream venue and he picked a community hall! :rotfl:

    Morning Jody

    I really really want a little Fiat 500 they are soooo cute! I want a 1.0 so petrol would be such much cheaper than my bloody 2.0!

    Don't worry I won't be sneaking off to get one either!

    The girl next door and the family with the devil child downstairs both have white Fiat 500's, I like to park my little black fiesta slap bang in the middle of them :rotfl:. I don't want anything overly flash, some of the new fiestas are £20 tax and around 68mpg so that would save me around £700 a year. I shall keep dreaming for now :(.

    Still no savings money :mad:, at least I do know they have my returned form so it should be here soon, hopefully before the end of the week so I can update my figures for you nosey beggars ;). It looks like a little bidding war broke out on one of my Ebay auctions last night! I have a little mitsubishi die cast model that is no longer produced and is a popular model with rally fans, it sat at 99p for a few days, then last night it had gone up to £1.70 and now it's £10.50 :T and still a few days left! Not had my postage label from music magpie yet either, that's another £15 to come when it's all processed. Quidco also recieved a few pounds of cashback from when I bought OH's trainers so that should be paid out this month. See, I have lots of things going on, just trickling along at the moment!

    I'm due a rise from 1st Nov although still not sure how much but hopefully I will find out soon :D
