    Congratulations Twinklie. Another tip, keep your own bank account in your married name (it pays to keep some money separate).

    Hope you and OH will have many happy years together :)

    Awww...thanks for that.

    Oh and Horace, don't worry about that. We have a joint one for bills and house stuff. Then our money is our own. That way we can buy surprises and presents for each other without the other knowing. I like doing that!

    No I can't I've looked into it already. But thanks for that. The other thing is that the finance department doesn't talk to the admin side....that would just be too easy and a bit silly! Apparently!
