So those are the photos I've been promising you, the dress, jacket, fascinator and shoes for the big day

The dress is a dark red but the ipad is insisting its lurid orange so you need to use your imagination

Having to do an emergency appt with Vet for Mrs Tibbs this morning, she is wetting herself, small amounts of urine but the duvet is covered from last night.
Now in the wash..

hopefully its just a bit of urinary track infection and antibiotics fix it fairly quickly - positive thoughts.
I think the vet will start with feeling your tum to make sure he cant feel any unusual lumps or bumps

Good morning

MSE have sent Jordan to find a way round the W coffee promo change, though I am not sure there are any big revelations - buy a cheap item! A single sprout seems to be the cheapest item he found:

I am sure the free W magazine is the cheapest once you swipe your card as it will be free, but maybe that will no longer count - and to be fair getting one each day would be a waste. Interesting comments below ...

You can foresee a minimum spend will be brought in at some point now that they have taken this step.

Waity have bought these measures in to stop the pish takers...these "MSE Tricks" will only result in further measures....some interesting points of views in the comments section...


[/QUOTE] My missus works for Waitrose and it's scratchers like you abusing their goodwill which is contributing to branches closing down and partners' bonus being lower this year than it's ever been.
I'd like to march round your gaff and help myself to whatever takes my fancy. [/QUOTE]


[/QUOTE] Please do not support the !!!!!!!!!!s who just get a free coffee without ever intending to spend anything at Waitrose. This is for Waitrose customers - note the key word customers. If you shop at Waitrose then this should not be an issue to loyal customers. Promoting tricks to get round it is just plain wrong and you should be ashamed of yourself. [/QUOTE]


Tend to agree...

All look lovely. The fascinator is almost exactly the same as the one I wore for DD's wedding . Make sure hairdresser secures it well as mine kept coming out. Hope you have a fab day enjoy

so I've set the bar very low today - write the list for aldi and concentrate on OHs speech

Eldest son tried to through a spanner in the works last night. He objected to the sleeping arrangements for Friday night - we have an airbandb house over the weekend (we have ended up with more people than we originally imagined for one night) so he was going to get a hotel room or another airbandb - as you can imagine at this late stage especially for a Friday night the cost would be :eek: - and as unusual he is virtually broke.
Plus the idea was that it would make things easier for the arrangements if everyone was in the same place on Friday morning.
So thinking on my feet I offered him our bedroom, me in the single room, OH on the sofa, the girls in the twin room, swapping everyone around.

Then because I was so annoyed with him I messaged eldest child but she had it sorted within seconds - found him a bed for Friday night.

all sorted now but it will be up to eldest son to sort out for himself and GF the logistics of staying in 3 places at opposite ends of the city, the parking and getting themselves to the house at the right time on Saturday morning for hairdressers etc etc

The worst bit of it was that I had a long conversation with him earlier in the day where I said we all have to totally focus on making this weekend solely and utterly about making eldest child and her BFs best most wonderful day ever, putting all over issues and niggles aside - obviously that fell on deaf ears ..
