If you try the phone it is probably now working :T:T

Yes we are fully functional again :j

but I've just done a download test and even though it feels like we are much zippier its still 2.22 mbh at best upload speed

There was a local newspaper article about bringing super fast broadband to the county featuring our local MP so I emailed him. He got a response from our local council. Apparently our exchange cabinet is outside of the scope for connecting Cheshire even though it is definitely inside the county and I have no idea what they mean by "scope" - later in January when I can get the fluffiness out of my head our MP will get another email asking him to explain this nonsense

No your not I was just saying as I reckon they would have been snapped up quick being that price since Sunday which is why you have not seen them.

There wasn't a huge amount left in my local not like the Thorntons mints that I bought more of Boxing Day and now only £1 they seem to be multiplying as the days go on there were loads yesterday. :eek:

An announcement

My eldest and her BF got engaged yesterday - he proposed on the steps of the minster :j
They had their graduation ceremony there just over 5 years ago so it has great significance for them - un officially they have been together for 6 years including the extra year at uni.

So she rang us this afternoon and they want to get married sooner rather than later - not in the next 2 weeks obviously

Her initial figure is around £5 k - they don't want a wildly extravagant gypsy style wedding

She has organised numerous conferences and work based events both up north and in London so organising and negotiating a wedding will be an extension of the skills she has already learned but without the no holds barred budget

So to save her stress I just transferred the money across and then we rang her back.

OH asked her when we rang back if BF had had the conversation with his parents - don't think so.
But eldest child spoke to his mum and she said they had not talked about it yet - no idea why not because it was inevitable they would get engaged at some stage - but she said they would probably go with a 1/3 1/3 1/3 split :eek:

Bear in mind BFs dad is earning over £100 k a year and eldest child said he had saved 100k so far for his retirement -

(Yes I know in the dark ages brides parents paid for everything but its 2016 in less than a week and mostly kids mostly pay for their own weddings now)

Any hints and tips for budget weddings which still look spectacular would be appreciated

Congrats MHOC!

Your eldest future FIL seems like a braggart to me!


For a tightwad to only have 1 x his salary for his retirement he's not very good at it!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I doubt he has got as much as he wants them to believe.

have you met him?

I had a look online at the 50% off boots sale and must admit nothing really catching my eye this year. I still have stuff from last years sale as decided I got the girls too much.

I won't say what as I know occasionally they have a read to see what Tinyshoes has been up to! :rotfl:
