    It sounds lovely to have a shared history. I think that's what I miss most, the definite sense of past, present and future, and joint experiences underpinning it all.

    30 years on my own since the divorce (albeit being punctuated by two traumatic years with a partner-from-hell) has been 30 years too long really. Mostly I can convince myself that I zip along just fine, and I can do as I like and I have lots of fun - but sometimes I have a real wrenching urge for the stability of a long term union.

    Everything in my home stays exactly how and where I left it, but that only brings a hollow sort of satisfaction. xx



    I so agree about missing the shared history. My dd's wedding I attended alone but I now how a good friend who accompanies to weddings, parties, funerals etc as so bloody hard being alone.
    N has met both of my male friends and agrees how good they are to me.
    So I am building up shared history just not with a man I share my bed with.
    Actually that makes it easier as we both try harder to be agreeable clean and tidy.

    I am looking to give a little dog a forever home. Has to be the right dog though.

    Thats lovely you've got such good friends who can accompany you to special things VT. I must admit, I have often thought about future weddings, would really hate to have to go alone to either of my kids weddings in the future, especially as my ex would be there with his partner. :o

    The bit about the dog eating flies made me lol!! :rotfl:
  • Evening all

    I was feeling reckless earlier and bought 2 tickets to go and see my fave band on their 20th anniversary tour :D

    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 :)

    Get her OH or you ring different DJ's and get a quote, omitting the word "wedding" :cool:
