    Not everyone is as wealthy as you Alex :p

    I believe it was a Thursday because there was a 2 year waiting list for the venue.

    Super spendy weekend (payday) :eek:
    • DIY and DD room: hammer drill, wall plugs, screws, drill bit, hacksaw, 2 packets of paint brushes, a curtain pole, hold backs, blackout curtains and a blackout blind - £210 or so
    • Road tax - £145
    • Tank of petrol
    • Groceries

    Currently trying to plan my last extra week of leave to gloss the hall, think it might be mid-August. Then we need to order carpets, doors, the plasterer for round 3 and a plumber. We'll get there.

    Went crazy shopping online. £3.50 for some B@r Keeper's Fiend (burnt copper pot) and £1.80 for a secondhand CD :)

    Your sporran. One friend made a hilarious joke about unburdening his sporran about 50 times :D

    You're my new best friend :D if you'd ever tell me how to do that :D

    There was a free bar at that wedding I went to at the end of May - they were *definitely* (probably) as rich as Alex's family :eek: shame that all I had was a glass of champagne during the toasts, and my sister paid for that, as the mother of the groom!

    Your spends (a drill!) will last a while, Ed, you're allowed to amortise them (is that an American word?) over the next ten years :)

    Have a lovely weekend though, movie night is important :j
