    [STRIKE]Morning[/STRIKE] Afternoon Everyone :)

    Phew! I'm exhausted! Spent last night and this morning getting car insurance quotes. Sooooooooooooooo boring repeating same details all the time. Thank God for comparison sites! Amazing how the quotes vary - £335 to £700+ :eek:

    Pleased in the end to get almost the cheapest quote with Esure by going through Compare The Market. Much cheaper than going direct to Esure's website. And I get a Meerkat Toy thrown in :j

    Was cross that Aviva had automatically taken a renewal premium from our Debit card. My fault really for not reading the renewal letter properly but managed to get them to refund in full. I really hate these continuous payment authorities. I try to cancel them or diarise them but this one had slipped through the net.

    Have a lovely day peeps, especially PM :) Remember soon your dream of being married will have come true! Chair covers and food are insignificant compared to a radiant bride! They certainly don't appear in the photos!!

    I remember getting very stressed before I got married as I had very little time to organise it. Everyone kept saying that I should have allowed an extra year! Took me ages to sort out my wedding dress and then the thought of sorting the bridesmaids dresses when one lived abroad was a nightmare. One day I realised that I didn't actually have to have any bridesmaids and I felt such a weight lift from my shoulders! It was a really good decision. Did the same for the cake - couldn't afford one so decided not to have one at all. Another decision I've never regretted. Looking back I can see that I still got too bogged down with some of the detail though. HTH :)

    I think weddings must have been much simpler years ago. Was reading a novel set in the second world war. Spam sandwiches and a cardboard cake covering up a very small fatless sponge! And a 48 hour pass from the forces for your honeymoon!

    Oh bu$$er! Missed the dustbin collection AND its Bank Holiday too! :mad:
