Either to set them up for switching it to meet the now near normal requirements of 2 DD to maintain a higher interest or no fee requirement. It saves messing with your normal accounts or generating DDs which actually cost money (like trial magazine subs) .

Your presence without presents will be a relief because you give the worst presents :rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: and so very true

They have unusual tastes (as well you have seen from my photos) & their friends haven't :o:o
They have to display stuff given for a while & then it gradually moves further back, out of the room, up to the landing, into spare room, into boxes, smuggled off to Charity shops across the border....

No presents please, just your presence :T

Although does anyone actually ever turn up without something as a gift at a party...or at least a card?

I would never go empty handed whatever the invite said even if it was with just a bunch of flowers or a plant or something edible or drinkable....so as not to clog up the house with stuff...

Maybe it's just me....and I can get why some people dont want or need anything....in some ways I'm the same .....but who has actually taken the instruction literally and arrived with nothing?

I went to SIL wedding with nothing haha


ETA I'm not tight but she got married in Rhodes so her wedding cost me almost £3k. So I told her she wasn't having a present. TBH it still narks me off. I wouldn't spend that on my own wedding and she occasionally mentions how cheap her wedding was etc. Well she's was a DINKY so could afford it

Its strange though ...and I've been on both sides of it...I never expect anyone to bring a gift to a celebration on my invite...but I would never at least attend without a card and something small in recognition to someone else's invite.

probably one of those British anomalies really....

I guess if I didn't really like the person who was inviting me I would probably decline the invite rather than go and arrive with nothing....not that I'm suggesting that you and your SIL any axe's to grind with eachother! (infact I regularly ignore anything sent to us by my BIL)...not that we actually get many invites from him following a falling out some years ago.

A apg does not pick up the M multi on Muller, or hasn't in years (too complicated with too many combinations allegedly ... or price collectors too lazy ).

If you meant 12 breaks the multi, 11 would do it plus one other flavour (as APG does not see multis more than 10 items of the same item).

Hth

As the offer for 12 is in M you want the APG machine to pick it up though, i'd have thought (putting aside it historically hardly ever picks that offer up).

We get on fine lol, I just don't think because she realised how much we struggled to go to her wedding. It took almost 2 years for me to pay it off. We are single income with 2 kids to take and she was double income no kids.


We have both recently agreed to not bother with presents for the adults just the kids, so I think her perspective has changed a bit
