    Ooooo cheers Maria.

    I have my pretty Next dress to wear though its a little bit long (i am too short and its not petite), wearing heels so should look ok though, anyway everyone is going to be staring at the bride not me! :rotfl:

    Managed to spend no money yesterday at the wedding, there was free wine and pimms and Nick brought me 2 smirnoff ice.

    I did put a cheque for £20 in the wedding card so i did kind of spend but the £20 i got out is still sitting in my purse, not sure how long it will stay there for though.

    Made £4 out of Butlins Bingo today, 20p on 2 free scratchcards, had £2.20p in account so gambled £1.20 and won £5 on bingo, played another £1 didn't win so left with £5 in account now.

    Building up slowy just need to win big on the free scratchcards. :p

    EDIT: Just remembered i have an account with Littlewoods bingo who also do this offer so just put in £10, won 20p and withdrew the original £10 :)

    I can't see us getting married anytime soon for money and other reasons.

    My family life is quite complicated, my brother doesn't talk to my mum and hasn't in 8 years, i don't get on with her either but we talk.

    I would want him there more than her but how do you tell your mother you don't want her at your wedding? (She has mental health issues and threatens to kill herself if things don't go her way.....)

    Anyway........:o

    Ah i see, families hey!

    I want to fly off to las vegas to get married as its less hassle than one over here because as you said there the whole thing of who you invite and who you dont, my family is very large i have 15 aunties and uncle's, countless cousins etc. My brother got married in les vegas just them two, then had reception here. I want the same but OH wants all his family there.

    I would love a big family wedding just not her there as no-one else would come :rolleyes:

    I am sitting here trying to resist going to McD's drive through for lunch. See said that £20 wouldn't last long :o

    If i had better willpower i would be debt free by now....then again maybe i should treat myself, only 2 days until braces and not being able to eat anything ;)

    EDIT: I gave in to McDonalds, will be last one for a while though am sure...
