    I've been Money Tipped!
    OK I'm rumbled... but, who were the three chums?

    As for the business... I 200% GUARANTEE you this is RIGHT up your street - and fits your lifestyle, location, interests ... and is flexible/easy and very doable ... 200% GUARANTEED.

    Setup costs: under £1 + marketing.

    Anything with a percentage guarantee, especially one over 100% automatically spunds dubious! :D

    I will clear space. You, itsmehonest and someone. Met through mse and is now a real life chum too all pmed me recently, plus nameless weirdo. Who might be reading

    Youshould come for the day some time and i will cook something without mushrooms.


    Frankly, cookiong easioer than the drive though! Unless you do move to sandbanks.:D
    I will. Once I've moved.... I think you'll only be 60 miles away or something.

    Sandbanks.... is achievable, but unlikely as I am too tight. Rent on a bog standard cr4ppy place is about £150/month cheaper - so I'd rather have £2k/year in my pocket than "look good" :)

    Just had to go and pick up a hire suit for the wedding I'm going to next weekend from regents st. Ugh. It was horribly busy and too hot. The suit fits though which is a bonus.

    The bride wants to vet my best man speech. There's nothing bad in there but I don't think this is a reasonable request, I can see an argument coming...

    Chewie, be careful it's not a set-up! Is it really somebody else's wedding? You don't want to get too "drunk" on the cunningly staged "stag night" and then wake up days later with an aftertaste of rohypnol and wedding cake and an unexpected band of metal on a particular finger! :eek:

    Hmm - we have some bits of the garden that need digging over so all I need to do is get the nail gun out and then invite you and DH round for dinner?
    I think....

    It IS treasure! And he's bringing it to YOU.

    Edit: Oh - and when I visit .... I'd like to go metaldetecting too!

    Send her another speech. She gets to see a speech, you get to do yours.

    Two speeches..... by the time you deliver the real one it's too late. In the meantime, keep her sweet with the nicely nicely one.

    Agree. Then start your speech with.

    Bride asked to vet this speech before hand. *discard paper, fish in pocket, get out second speech*...

    If his hair wasn't so curly I'd be sure he's a black labrador.

    I would be up for thinking about an idea.

    I still have not cleared space in my pm box. I had four of those emails that tell you someone has tried to send you one, but i know believe at least one of those four people to be a weirdo, while three are chums, (so may also be weird but in a different way):D

    Good job I haven't yet tried to PM you...
