When I asked for luck I didn't mean the bad variety!!!

I hope you enjoyed the wedding and that your mum managed okay with the boys. You are very kind to think of your neighbour . I bet she appreciates the thought.

Granny and Pooh, the wedding was truly lovely thank you! It was a wonderful place, the sun shone, the Bride of course looked gorgeous, good food, great company and we only spent £19!!!! (Present excluded). DH managed the day ok and although we left before the end, it was still 11pm so I was really pleased. My Mum did end up having the boys to stay over, so I had my first night off in well over 3 years :T. The only downside was the amount of calories I consumed (but the chocolate fountain was soooooo lovely ).

For Bad Weather, the men's favours were lotto tickets like mine were! The ladies favours however were little wooden hearts, tied with a ribbon In their colour scheme. On one side it had the Bride & Groom's names and wedding date, but on the other side it had the cutest little quote:-

"How do you spell 'love'?" - Piglet
"You don't spell it ....you feel it." - Pooh
A.A Milne

Well done on the weight loss! The wedding sounded lovely - love the quote! You've done well to reduce debt considering all that's happened. We women are like Duracell batteries - we just keep going!

Re your DS - they say boys are usually slow to be toilet trained. To be honest it's that long since my DS was young I can't remember - he's 28 now. Every time I see him it shocks me that I have a son so old!!

Clever work in Boots I love it when things like that happen!!

Glad the wedding went well and the sun shone!! Sounds like a great day (and in-expensive too!! ) to the calories. I'm sure you were up dancing enough to work them straight back off again!!

Love the Piglet/Pooh quote

Happy Monday and have a great day!!

Hi all, thanks for dropping by. Happy Monday all! Sun Addict, I hope things are as ok as they can be for you today Xx

DS1 went back to school today so things have seemed a little calmer. He came out of school miserable though, claiming he hates school dinners and demanding packed lunches again I feel really bad about it but I really don't want him to change as we get free school meals, but it's not just about the cost of the meal. Free school meals means I don't have to pay for his trips or milk etc and that's a huge saving for us. I've tried explaining it to him but he just stomped off.

As far as money goes, we have £75 to last us until Friday, but even then we need to make that money stretch to the end of the month/beginning of May. We have a bit of diesel and some food in the cupboard/freezer so hopefully we will be ok. I will need some shopping but will try to keep it to a minimum. On the plus side we made it through half term without dipping in to the car tax/holiday/decorating/emergency fund :T. I will be taking some out of there soon for paint though as the 3 for 2 deal ends on the 21st of this month.

Back to Beavers tonight and then got a meeting afterwards, so I'm off to make an early tea or I won't get anything until after 10pm!

Happy Happy Monday!

That is so lovely you had a nice day! And how could you NOT have had some of the chocolate fountain - It would have been rude to the bride if you didn't?

How nice are those wee favours...that is a GOOD idea...hmmmmm....

I was thinking about you when i was on HeadAboveWaters diary. I saw a picture of me on Saturday and I was thinking I need to lose weight and i need fake tan!

How was the Soap and Glory fake tan - would you recommend? x

please-let-me-be-lucky

Yes I'd recommend the S&G fake tan! Freaked a bit because my hands went totally orange after doing my legs but true to what it said on the bottle it washed right off with soapy water. It didn't streak, I liked the shade and it stayed on no bother. The next morning in the shower though it looked like an explosion in a rust factory :rotfl:. Xx

Sun_Addict

I can highly recommend Dove or Garnier Summer Body - both gradual tan body lotions that really work and give me a golden glow all year round. No streaks and no rust explosions!!

please-let-me-be-lucky

Thanks SA, will look into those when this one runs out!

Watching the news about the Boston marathon bombs So scary for all involved and my heart goes out to the injured/deceased and their families. How anyone has the nerve, or thinks they have the right, to do that to someone else is beyond me.
