    My plans for a semi frugal October (cos I will be away in Spain for 2 weeks so it wouldn't be the full month) have gone right out of the window ! My iPad has gone doolally again and, inspite of backing up, restoring and reloading everything its still rather poorly. The Apple store in Plymouth want to look at it to have a fiddle about (the lot in Truro basically told me that iPads can't be fixed if they go wrong and anyone who says they can be repaired is lying!)

    I'm fed up with faffing about so I plan to go into Plymouth tomorrow, buy myself a new one and see if they can fix the old one so DH can have it. So my plan for a £40 October spend is knackered well and truly.

    It was really good. My nephew roamed around the church during the service asking 'is this yellow? is this yellow' and as they were saying 'I will' he kept laughing and shouting 'mummy'. All of us were stifling laughter :rotfl:

    I do love children at weddings, I think they make it extra special.

    Years ago, I was at one when the room went quiet for the speech a small child returning from the loo announced rather loudly that they had had a poo! It was very funny x
