    Nykmedia, so sorry to hear about the id fraud. It feels horrible when that sort of thing happens. At least you were on to it v quickly.

    Marru, I used to live in SW London too. The traffic there has gone mad in the last few years. I drove up last year and nearly had a fit, am becoming such a country bumpkin!

    Whitewing, glad you found your perfect dress. I know it's a big expense but memories are priceless too. I need to sell my dress (married a couple of years ago) but haven't got round to it yet.

    Take care everyone.

    Hi JB,

    I am catching up a programme online that I missed yesterday and can't run it same time as bingo as my comp would crash. I will be with you later, promise.

    Hello Jumble-Bee!

    Hope your 'private chat' is going well now, lol!

    We've been out and bought rings, and come in under budget! This is mainly because H2B saw one he really liked in the jewellers and it was second hand (still had the finger attached, lol!), so that brought the price down (that was a top tip from the wedding board).

    But, we did have a cream tea afterwards, which is included in this challenge, so not so good. Eating out while wedding shopping is becoming a bit of a habit...

    thankfully, MIL got given 8 pints of milk that her work won't be able to use wilst in date, so that was great. And the neighbours gave us a bottle of wine to apologise for the noise, so that was an unexpected treat.

    Aunty has agreed to make the wedding cake too.

    Hope every is fine. Torrential rain here today has made driving a bit hairy at times, but we've had a pretty good day. This new banking thing means that we get MIL's rent transferred to us on the same day, and available immediately. It's good to see that working so well.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    Mumzy, I just got a general vegetable grow bag for my tomatoes. My Nana knows about these things and said get a Levingtons one, but the local garden centre didn't have any. Nana also said just put the tomatoes into the grow bags still in the pots, and they are looking well so far, and even have little green tomatoes appearing! Yes, you will need canes!
