Hmmmm I suppose ours would be sort of a big wedding. we paid for exlusive use to get married here with a sit down meal for around 70 guests. No disco or anything on the evening (or indeed any additional guests), just my friend and her H (who plays the piano VERY well) providing the evening entertainment :T We had our 2 week honeymoon in Florida at Disneyworld (staying in their budget apartments mind) but considering this was the 3rd time in my entire life I'd been abroad we'd hardly been living up our life prior to getting married Was cheaper than the average wedding but we didn't go into debt for it and both my parents and FIL contributed to the wedding. I wouldn't go into thousands of pounds worth of debt just to get married, we saved back some equity from the sale of our first house.

looks lovely

we got married in the local church and then had a sit down dinner reception at the uni which has a lake so some good photos there. alans family helped out a lot with the cost of ours as well. in the eve we had a buffet and disco. there was about 85 people for the dinner :eek: and god knows how many in the evening then for honeymoon we did two weeks in the domincan republic

Well I managed to get the DW emptied and filled. I put the tablet in the basket and will report back on how it went. If it still is giving me problems then I will try crushing the tablet and see if that makes a difference.

We are eating Mango Chicken with Rice and Peas for dinner. Plates are emptying rapidly

skinless chicken breasts
4 tblsp oil
1 onion-chopped
2 cloves garlic
200g long grain rice
400g kidney beans- drained and washed
500ml veg stock
1 thyme sprig-leaves stripped
175g petis pois (peas are fine)
200ml coconut milk

Heat 2 tblsp oil in pan. Fry onion for 5 min. Add garlic, then stir in rice. Cook for a min. Add beans, pour in stock and coconut milk, season well. Bring to boil, cover and simmer for 25-30 min or until rice cooked. Add thyme and petis pois for last 3 min, fluff with a fork.

Mean while mix the mango chutney, lime zest and juice and remaining oil, season well. Heat griddle pan and brush some mix over chicken breasts. Cook on each side until charred and cooked through. Once done, set aside to rest a little and heat rest of chutney mix in pan.

Dish up rice and peas, set chicken on top, drizzle sauce over or serve in little pots on the side for people to dip their chicken in.

Hi all

Lovely day again once the mist lifted. Have been working at home so managed to get the WM and DW on, still a load of ironing to do though.

Just had a lovely walk around the reservoir with doglet, nice in the late sunshine. No going to do some study for half an hour then dinner - stir fry veg and indian bits (samosas and bhajis), and make a lemon drizzle cake at the same time. Had HM mushroom soup for lunch - yum yum - made 10 portions yesterday with YSd mushes!
