    MY budget for our holidays is about £300 - am not going to spend that on two nights for his friends daughters wedding!
    I just dont get why OH wants to spend this! not like him at all! I am so totally puzzled! every time I bring it up - he just goes off into a rant! I would think it was HIS daughter - exept she looks so much like her dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    BTW I must have led a very sheltered life because this whole pearl necklace thing is going straight over my head. Anyone wish to explain?

    "Urban dictionary" is always your friend in these situations :)

    Just because it says so in the Mail, doesn't make it true.

    I've got ADHD. You can ask me about it but I may not remember to answer...

    Back on topic for a bit....

    Meritaten, if you were my husband, I'd be irritated with you because YOU made the decision on behalf of both of us, without discussing it with me. Personally, I'd have responded to the best friend's wife with a "have to discuss with OH". Together, you may have both come to an acceptable compromise (the B&B with taxis) and then responded to the query. The way you have acted comes across as very dictatorial. I'm a woman, btw, and if one of my boyfriends had done that he'd have been torn a new one!

    On the other hand...not contributing towards his daughter's wedding??? Pillock!
    Good, clean fun.... :D

    He's not a pillock, he's a loon. And a tight@rse loon at that. Meritaten I suggest you go ahead with this doing him in idea but get a decent life insurance policy set up first.
