I'm here.

I admit I forgot to say I was in Barcelona last week (we had a fantastic holiday!).

I was going to take August off, but then I was offered a piece of work, which Ill have to turn around quickly, but will pay quite well. Also, I'm getting another website up and running, so what with spending time with Jonno and keeping the house tidy, I'm just a bit busy!

Thanks I will, planning to make a nice dessert, tell me what you think, tortillas fried and dipped in sugar and cinnamon, then a fruit salad of strawbs, rasps, blueberries and passion fruit on top with a bit of mango sorbet on the side. I think it sounds good, but don't know if it will work!!

Hi everyone, I've been here but had so little going on it hasn't been worth posting. Just been pottering about the house and spending time online gazing at wedding dresses (my newest obsession). I've also been on a maassive job search as I think I've come to the decision that I do not want to continue doing supply next year. I really miss the companionship of having colleagues to talk to and what with having a mortgage now and getting married I think whats more important is to have £X coming in every month. So I have an interview thing tomorrow to work for dwp, just doing admin but at least it would be a

s to look at! The quote was less than we though which is also a bonus!!!! My mum is being really negative about the cost of everything though - she's scottish so a bit tight on the old purse strings and is completely out of touch with the cost of a traditional wedding which is what we're having. She said she'd give us some cash towards it but still not a sausage!!!! Oh well.

y the design and some american ones which have dresses approx half the price of UK. Have a look, you might find the dream one.

We're getting married in registry office then having evening reception in bar/cafe on the beach. Dead excited. It's saved us loads of money just having the evening reception thank goodness but its still really expensive. OH's dad is contributing £1000 and my mum says she'll give us what she can. We've just booked a vintage double decker bus for the gap in between the ceremony and reception too. I'm ridiculously excited already, how are you?

erer last night - looks like food and service for the whole day will be costing about £3000!!!!!! Argh!!!!!

You girls are having all the fun! £3000 seems an awful lot, how many comign to the wedding? I suppose if that's your main outgoing it's not THAT bad, but still loads of money! what are you doing about wedding gifts, my mum was invited to a wedding recently and the wedding list was a holiday company turquoise something and you could just give money towards their honeymoon, I thought that was a better
