    I was relating, not moaning :)
    I know, sweetie - it was the rest of us you said were moaning :) think no more of it, I was just having a bit of a laugh ... sword fight with fingers tells you I really was, honest !

    I'm on my tod totally for at least two days, which is why I'm having my social chat on here :p I was supposed to be seeing my business partner/best friend type person tomorrow :p but we'll be skyping, as I'm not well enough to go there. Excuse my blather ....

    Busy weekend. Went to an evening wedding reception Sun eve - the wedding was clearly an amazing affair, the eve reception quite splendid. All held in a charming castle where attention to detail was perfect. Huge fun.
    But the cost - they got the venue and catering half price as was a Sunday - only £30,000 :eek: Plus cars, dresses, cakes, etc etc. I saw some of the photos and it was the most stunning location and day but wow what a price!


    Did smile at a conversation held over the weekend. Someone was asking me about Mr Watty's life insurance and was horrified when I said he didn't have any and, for that, matter neither did I. He began to expand on the vital need for same when I said I had written a guide to running my business that would mean Mr Watty had a plan if anything happened to me and that he was happy with this. " But what you do if anything happened to him??? How would you pay the mortgage?" the man asked.
    I will not forget his face when I replied "We don't have one"
    :rotfl:
    Priceless! He was amazed that Mr Watty and I do not have a mortgage and thus ended his pitch for life insurance.




    :eek::eek::eek::eek: is all I have to say about the cost of the wedding!!!!




    What a fab convo re the life assurance :) :T

    :rotfl: at Ed and KC sword fighting
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    On an unrelated topic, I met a Shetland pony the other day who decided to introduce himself (suspect people feed him as his field is directly next to a popular park). I was quite enchanted, wonder if DD would like one? :)

    One of my cousins got one as a first birthday present from a grandparent! Unfortunately not one on my side of the family.

  • Shetland ponies are very cute but not useful for much...
  • What a fabulous conversation I bet you were grinning from ear to ear at his baffled look! Gosh what a pricy wedding. Ours was around the £10k mark and I thought that was hefty! x

    I'm sure she would and Al/Smallholding Sister and I are more than willing to encourage the purchase of said pony. Then you can spend a fortune :)
    I used to ride a Shetland and looked after one for a neighbour. They can be cute but equally are a force to be reckoned with. As a child I adored Amrise who I rode whenever my mum would take me there - but - he frequently left me in a ditch and went home alone :rotfl:
