    Evening all, just had eldest child on the phone, I think even she is now exasperated by how much the wedding is costing.

    They have to have an interview and a lot of paperwork filled in to validate their identity etc - not heard of this before. This is something to do with making sure they are uk citizens and not already married etc and fortunately they can have it done local to them but this going to cost £75!

    Then to get the cellibant to come out is going to cost over £500 :eek: I don't know why we had about £200 figure from but that was way out.

    The worst bit is the evening entertainment and DJ - they all seem to have a local agent who adds on another 20%. Even though they only do short stints with the iPod in the middle they are all charging over a thousand - the last quote she got wanted £1200 :eek:
    - its a pity neither side have any Scottish connections, I think a ceilidh band would be a cheaper option
    Then there is the dress
    The only thing that seems to be coming in slightly under budget seems to be rings and even that is :eek:

    She is sending me her spread sheet tommorow although I don't know what I am supposed to do with it apart from fall over with shock. Anything I can suggest won't make much difference to the figures, I don't think she has taken up any of the things I've suggested anyway

    Deep sigh :)

    Ask around friends and locals for a DJ surely someone must know someone fairly half decent and cheapish.

    After a bit of elite help. Either gardeners or insect experts.

    In a new build house and keep getting funny flying insects I have never seen before. They look like greenfly but have big wings suppose the size of a small moth.
    Have mature trees around me and also backs of 3 gardens which belong to the old houses to the side which might have compost heaps or might be coming from loft. Last 2 days I have not opened any windows and only get them upstairs which makes me think coming from loft.
    Just want to get on top of this small issue as only notice 2 or 3 a day but worried could end up being a big problem.
    Would like to open windows more.
    Only place could really get in is extractor in bathroom or loft hatch.
    Any ideas greatly received.
    Mum lives just down the road but doesn't get them hence wondering if something has been in the loft over the winter or before roofs went on in September.


    Highly stressed at the moment. Will buy some deodorising type spray and spray raid up extractor but prefer to know what they are to be prepared for future years.

    If I can't find a man I'll look into a dog! :D

    In all seriousness, am hoping to get a dog this year (and more cats). Need to get my May cruise out the way first, then will look into it. :)

    Dogs are more reliable ;)

    Have a look first to see if you can find a good vet close by and find out what their charges are like and also a kennel that you like the look of, find out what they charge and how flexible they are.

    Best to do this before you start doggie shopping :)

    Yes I will suggest that she asks all of her local connections

    All wedding bands seem to be so rubbish ...
