I thought the pound rose after the result was a "No":think:.

Don't tell me, we are in a period of uncertainty and risk. (So much for that being cleared up, IMO.)

The matter of the pound, and impact on fuel prices, does, of course, have a very significant impact on money-saving (or the attempted thwarting of money-saving) and hence why the original story has its place on this site! And why I chose to comment on it here.

What a bad decision by DC to agree to the holding of the refenderum in the first place, some might say. Though this isn't one of the current issues in the current political debate.

Hi bubbs, loving the public information service about all the good deals. :T

Just sitting here thinking about my day at work. I get to see many strange and wonderful things, many strange and not at all wonderful, but no two days are ever the same.

I've been very busy at work over the last couple of months as I've previously said, so the new experiences have been coming thick and fast. I've had a ceremony interrupted by a large tree tearing itself asunder incredibly noisily right outside the window (I had to stop the ceremony while I made sure we were all safe). I've done a Russian wedding which as very unusual, a huge Indian wedding, and one for somebody with severe anger management issues. Then there was the one with the incredibly controlling parents who took over their daughter's wedding quite abominably - had to manage them firmly. There have been the most appallingly loud children who have disrupted the ceremony throughout (usually when I ask the couple if they want me to do something about it they say no - chaos seems to be the soundtrack of so many people's lives.) Occasionally I've had to stop them anyway, so bad have they been. There was the one where I did something again that I've never done before - openly glared at a best man who was so badly behaved it was unreal - pulling faces, talking, spinning the ring etc throughout. The one where I had to stop a little bridesmaid and a guest catching fire on the candles in the aisle. The one where some stupid woman was letting the children stand on the sill of an open window on a very high first floor to look out. :mad: The groom who got so emotional when his friend read a reading, I wondered if there was some unresolved business going on. And then there was today's.

There was a young couple on the front row, with a lovely little girl and a pram. At one point the baby in the pram began to softly wimper. Most parents will let their children run riot, but not this Dad - he very gently lifted a very tiny, tiny new baby girl out of the pram and took her out of the fire door close by and stood in the porch there, cradling her so very gently and clearly loving her to bits. So caring and gentle he was, it was a pleasure to see. I'd called a reader forwards to read and I was standing on the other side of the room looking over.

Suddenly I had a horrible thought - the very small porch has some treacherous steps down to the lovely gardens , and one step drops far more down than the others - I'd nearly fallen down it and gone Harris over elbow only recently because you just don't expect it. For the rest of the reading I had to will him not to take her down there, and the minute the reading finished I had to rush across and warn him. The thought of him and that beautiful tiny baby tumbling down those dangerous steps was literally unbearable.

Thankfully all was well and it was a lovely ceremony for a super couple . All in a day's work, but so often while we are doing our jobs, we're dealing with so much other stuff as well. That's my excuse anyway when I get home and fall asleep! :rotfl:

You cetainly have varied days Lutzi:eek:
I would never of dream behaving badly at a wedding, even as kids we were told once and one only:rotfl:
Saying that my sister was only 3 when my older sister was getting married, we were at the alter cause we were all bridesmaids and she had her flowers in a ball on a ribbon on her wrist, she was swinging them round:rotfl: we were going behave!
Then when it was time for a hymn she is going i dont want to sing this i want to sing ba ba black sheep:o:rotfl:
