    £9 for a one-use face mask?! You'd best take your I.D next time you go to buy prosecco if it's claiming to be that good

    I can't believe it's DS's wedding next week! Did they want a Halloween wedding or were they being mse as no-one else did?

    Brilliant productivity as usual 👏

    Haha bless Mr SA, as long as he enjoyed then he never needs to know 😁


    The Halloween wedding was planned. DIL is obsessed with Halloween, witchcraft, pagan stuff, etc. 
    Ah that's nice they got the date that suited then. Do they have a Halloween etc wedding gift list?
    Because they’ve been living together so long (12 years) they don’t really need anything. However on my suggestion they’re setting up a PayPal account so people can send money towards the honeymoon or something they need. I offered to pay for an aspect of the wedding as a present but they declined saying it’s all sorted.

    Our family wedding over the weekend was very similar in that they've been together ages and don't need 'stuff' so contributions to a honeymoon were made.
