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!
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 reading0 -

Frankly, cookiong easioer than the drive though! Unless you do move to sandbanks.:D
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"0 -

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:There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -

Dh bought a metal detector. We now have holes all around the place and a collection of old bent nails. He brings each new one recovered from the ground show me with a huge grin a if it were treasure.0 -

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

Agree. Then start your speech with.
Bride asked to vet this speech before hand. *discard paper, fish in pocket, get out second speech*...I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

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
