    Hi there Sea
    I think if you have the money it would be a good thing for both of you to go. As long as your OH knows that you both can't go buying rounds and spending lots of money. It will be a nice time.

    And you have just reminded me I have to book some accommodation too for a wedding....
    *wanders off to do that*

    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?

    Just talked to OH again about it :( We are going on holiday next week and really need all the money for that. I'm going to go with the kids, stay as long as I can, then drive back. I'll have one drink at the reception in the afternoon, but then stick to soft drinks. I just can't justify the costs. If it weren't for this hol (which was meant to be a haven hol in this country, which would have cut the cost by at least three quarters I reckon, but I can't be ungrateful as B-i-l has paid for the hol but we have to find money for al the bits, petrol to the s of france, passport fees etc) I'd be there like a shot booking any room available! :) Need to think about priorities though and I need the money for the hol.

    Feel like I'm letting people down though in a stupid way. OH not being very understanding - just says I wasn't bothered a few weeks ago. True but I was pg then. :(

    Grrr. I HATE being in debt. I can't believe I have been so stupid to get myself into this state. ARRRGHHHHHH


    Sorry, normal Sea will return later :)

    Yes -def! :) I have about £20 worth of bids on Ebay for things finishing tonight, hopefully that'll go up a bit. also got given £15 worth of M&S vouchers so will be buying some much needed nuderwear with that lol and popping the saved money into the challenge( and therefore to cover that too). Will be scouring for more stuff to list and sell. :)


    We have a lovely bunch of roses from a table display that the groom gave DD - she was beside herself the whole day and tailed the bride. She now wants to be a bride and has spent the day acting like one!
