Wedding Forum - GENERAL CHINWAG THREAD w/c 23rd November...

I am waiting to do majority of it on Friday, mainly because of my pay day, but when my cheque cleared the other day I had to get a few bits that I knew would not be in black friday

Don't know whether to send it back and reorder - theyd hate me for it but £30 is £30!

I only got paid on the 15th and i am skint already.... Running a house is sooooo expensive, plus planning a wedding, xmas time & court/solicitors.

Sod black friday!!! lol

Fingers crossed for you Emily......

Thanks Emma :)

Hmnmm possibly Emily, will add that to the list.

Looks set to chuck it down here, coming over really black.

Just washed up some cups and glasses and breakfast dishes. Gave the kitchen a bit of a clean. We've been collecting those bottles with pop tops, we now have 5, the first one looked nice set alongside my old fashioned jug on the window ledge, it's got a bit much now though so removed them. Also they all had a use before date on them, fortunately a scourer it came off easy. If I was tempted enough I would do something nice and put in there but I am useless at crafty gifts like that. Don't want to throw the bottles away though

You could do a hot chocolate in a jar..

One of the sachet mixes and some marshmallows. not sure what else you have in a ho tchcolate?

The bottles are like this but round.

Ahh sorry I thought you meant a jar.

How about a flavoured oil? Chilli oil is great. Or Garlic oil.
Not used any others myself.

There are some that you can put in the dishwasher to do so don't take as long. We used to do a flavoured vodka over Christmas/New Year and its great fun. we have done skittles, jelly babies and toffee. I can't remember which but some you have to ferment and shake regularly and others put in the dishwasher. They are lethal though

I am off to get sorted for the day and then pop to the shops, chat laters.

I have just put a link on your wall but that's different to how we did it.

We get an empty 2 litre pop bottle and empty a bottle of the cheapest vodka you can find into it. Add sweets (avoid black/purple j3lly b@b1es as they turn it a horrible colour) and shake well.
Put in the dishwasher on the hottest wash on top shelf. No detergent
shake well when it comes out and pass through a sieve if needed

put in freezer to cool if you want. We did this so we could drink it that night but its also nice to drink it cold anyway in my opinion.

That's good Flossie, hopefully it will feel a bit more relaxed then!

That's good gf! I think it's @m@z0n itself selling though so doubt they'd refund lol

In bed. Up all night with sickness and chills. Called in sick and always feel like I'm skiving or letting people down.

OH just called and he was told we can have a mortgage for a LOT more than we were expecting!! So exciting. Means we can afford one of the new builds which are going up at the moment.
We will go and meet with them on Saturday and see if there are any left. We didn't expect to be able to afford one of them so really chuffed with it :)
Then to see the bank about the mortgage and my aunt about her savings she has been keeping for us x


This is all so exciting!

They've not done anything yet with bil. He got sacked straight away and they've said the money he has took has now bought him out of his and Sil house so the house is now hers.

Just come to get my nails done and it's so busy

Thanks Flossie. We decided not to tell our familys as they are both pushing for us to leave, especially the in laws and we don't want the pressure of them rushing us and looking for houses for us so its a bit odd but I can already feel a weight has lifted :)

Mrs M that's awful, I know he's their son but I would have got police involved for that amount of money

Took your advice gf and rang @m@z0n and theyve refunded the difference .. More because when I ordered it there was a with special offers and without special offers option and I didn't know what this meant I assumed it was just a discount that you could it into (silly I know) but then when I went in today there's a new review saying that with special offers means that it has ad pop ups on it but this isn't stated anywhere in the description as the review said so they just agreed really quickly to refund £30 :D

We went to see the houses a few months back to have a nosey round and they really are lovely with a decent sized garden too. But they were well out of what we were expecting to be our price range. Now they come about £40k under what OH was told today! Our price range went up by £60k in the space of a phone call. They have taken into account OHs shift allowance which I wasn't expecting them to. He even told them about the difference between his basic and shift and they said to include it.

That's great news Becci. Must have been a fault with the website.

Having your own home will make all the difference Emily.

Don't get me wrong it's hard work at first. I used to have screaming fits at oh practically every day because he left me to do all the work (still does practically!)

But I wouldnt change IT I couldn't stand living back with my younger sister in the family home she was so irratating

I bet you cant concentrate now Emily lol.....

OH is at his second RAF interview and has just text to say he filled out all of his forms then they told him he couldn't put me down as his next of kin because we're not married so he had to put his mum! So we will be living together miles away from his mum, yet if anything happened to him they would call his her and not me!?!

It is a lot warmer today than it has been the past couple of days! I was expecting another frosty one this morning but was quite mild and just wet!!! Was boiling in the house this morning, I woke up at 5 when the heating came on in the bedroom absolutely roasting my b00bi3s off!!

Good luck to your OH for his interview Em xx

I just think it's stupid, I know his mum would call me but that's not the point, I could be sitting waiting for him to come home and he's in hospital but they haven't told me. If we were miles away his mum wouldn't be the one to go!
