Oh gawd help us now ....

OH has just gone off with a piece of paper and so I innocently asked him why he was writing a list - I fell right into that trap.

He said it was about time he started to wrote his Father of the Bride speech.

I asked him if he had googled to see if there were any templates or guidelines as to what order to say things in or to do things in but he said no, he is free styling it :eek:
This means that he will be asking me how to spell every word with 3 letters or more - I have pointed out the virtues of spell checker but he has no confidence in it and prefers it if a human helps him with spelling :mad:
So every word will need spelling out in every way possible, one letter at a time and phonetically until I am driven bats - apparently he does this in the office as well but there are 4 others in his office so the angst is spread out but here there is just me.

He will also as he goes along read out the bits he has written and I will be expected to applaud loudly and cheer him on - if I make any constructive comments he will take great offense and throw a paddy and it will then get ripped up and out on the fire (no exaggeration, he started on a pre retirement thought sheet on both sides of an envelope and when I made suggestions he said I was being overly negative and it got written up and put on the fire - deep sigh)

He has to write reports daily at work so I think in his head he thinks a Father of the Bride speech is very much the same as an Accident investigation report :rotfl:

If I reappear in a few days time with a large egg shaped bump on my forehead it will be from where I have banged my head repeatedly against a brick wall ...

Good luck from me x

Are we going to see your hat and outfit, mhoc?

I didn't get the 1000 Virgin Nectar points added yet, even though it's now 28 days since the transaction - did anybody get them?

I've just broken into the second case that we bought just before christmas.....so its actually going very slowly considering we have had it so long.
3 of the bottles I didnt like for no apparent reason TBH....and since the dryish January I havent really drank that much.

Having said all that...I still like to look at the bottles so I must resist too.....

No twine in stock for me, not even the white. Wanted red or fizz anyway.

Not added on mine yet - but I'm not sure when I booked - I'll have to check.

ETA : booked mine on 20th.
I'm just wondering is it meant to be 28 days after the actual transaction or 28 days after the end of the offer?

I think AAu said he was still waiting, but he was giving them an extra 2 days as they keep bribing him with points to not post on their wall over on FB.

Lol, I have more than sufficient already. But I like the anticipation of it
We had a rather fab bottle at the weekend which came from our last purchase https://www.tesco.com/wine/product/details/default.aspx?searchBox=brancott+terroir&search.x=0&search.y=0&id=285301902

I can't say I noticed the underlying nettle nuances though
