Sorry, but virtual champagne is compulsory!

Well done FANC

Love some of those dresses! Haven't even thought about what the bridesmaids are going to wear, in fact I don't even know how many I'm going to end up with yet! Then again I don't even know when the wedding is so I'll not stress about it

I'm tired again today, I was up till gone midnight ironing last night. And I made dsd a playboy bed canopy - looks lovely even though I say so myself

Haven't packed any things yet for the weekend, going to get DP and dsd to help me later - won't take long if we all do a bit

Ironing until gone midnight? bloody hell, I dont iron hardly any of my stuff, buy stuff that dont need it! Lol

You sound very creative making DSD that, I wouldnt even know where to start!

I bet you are really looking forward to the weekend? Make sure you do get DP and DSD to help though, you shouldnt have to do everything.

btw, keep forgetting to mention this....

DP and I have finally got round to doing our Wills. We've done them through hulababy's DH's article on the legal section. He's great - he sends a questionnaire to fill in then draws up the Will from your answers and sends a draft to check before the originals are drawn up, very little effort required! We had the Wills through yesterday, just need to find 2 witnesses now and it'll all be sorted. £110 +VAT which is very cheap - I phoned round local solicitors and was quoted between £280 and £460!! And because we're planning to get married he's written this into the Wills so we won't have to re-do them after we get married

x posts there FANC

Yes I'll certainly get them to help. Won't take much doing though in all fairness, we're only away for one night. Next week is another story though, 9 days worth of clothes and 6 days of school uniform for dsd. But it'll be worth it for 9 days away with DP

God that does sound cheap for the wills NAAM, where did you find them from? Hulababys? Sorry probably reading it wrong! Lol

hulababy is a MNer, her DH is a solicitor specialising in Wills & Probate. \link{http://www.mumsnet.com/bigissues/makingawill.html\His article} tells you how to get in touch with him

Cool, I think I will opt for that, ill speak to DP tonight and try and persuade him. Did you say that you dont have to have it redone if you are planning to marry in the future? even if a date isnt set yet?

Yes that's right FANC. One of the questions says something like "Do you intend to marry in the near future?". I phoned him and said yes we do but don't know when - does it matter? And he said no it's not a problem, there's no time limit on it, it's simply a question of do you plan to get married because if you do he can write it into the Will to save you having to re-do it when you do get married

Thats brilliant, think ill have a word with DP tonight after a few beers! Lol

Hope everyone has a good weekend

Especially BIRTHDAY GIRL Squirrel

Hello everyone,

Not that anyone is daft enough to be up at this time in the morning, I've joined the ranks of the unemployed and I'm still awake at stupid o'clock!!!!!!!

BTW Naam, I have found my wedding dress, (for if if I ever get married) what do you \link{http://www.sugarbushsquirrel.com/image/6875890_scaled_150x175.png\think?}

Sqirrel you are mad. Go back to bed. Did you have a nice birthday?

Hello all

Squirrel glad you had a nice birthday weekend PMSL at the picture

How is everyone?

Reflection, well you are just as mad as me, you were up and on here not long after I was! lol

Naam, what do you mean pmsl at my picture? I thought I looked rather fetching!

I did have a lovely weekend thank you, how was yours?

Really glad you enjoyed your birthday

My weekend was good thank you, hectic but good. The kids really enjoyed themselves too. Yesterday morning DP and I took them all for breakfast so that my brother could clean the caravan in peace. His 7yo ds2 came out of the loo in the cafe with his t-shirt pulled up over his nose and announced at the top of his voice "It stinks in there!" We just laughed, didn't know what else to do - we got some funny looks though Could really do without being at work this week, got soooooo much to do before we go away

Your next interview is tomorrow isn't it? Hope it goes well

GORGEOUS day here! Far too nice to be stuck indoors. Looked at the 5 day forecast on BBC this morning, it says it's going to be 27 degrees on Friday

I'm locked up indoors today, my hayfever is really bad, I've had to shut the doors and windows, I've taken two lots of anti-alergy tablets, don't know what else to try.

Didn't realise you suffered from hayfever, poor you. Never had it myself but I've heard it can be nasty Hope you get better soon

Wonder where everyone else is?

Hi all. Glad you had good weekends. I am mega busy at the mo so I hardly get a chance to log on. Thinking of you all trhough.

Squirrel I was up because I have to do some work before school today.....you are a temp lady of leisure!! Enjoy it while you can. Good luck for tomorrow. Fingers crossed xx

Morning all Hope everyone's OK

Squirrel hope your interview goes well

Hello everyone, thank you for the good luck msgs but I didn't go to the interview, had some really shocking/upseting news that I can't go into on here.

Talk to you later.

So sorry to hear that Squirrel

Thinking of you

{{{{hugs to you}}}}

I've just e-mailed you Squirrel, don't know if I've got your address right though - I'll check it when I get home

Hi everyone

Hope you are ok Squirrel. If you need someone to talk to my email add is tarantulas at hotmail dot com.

Hows everybody else? Ive been really busy at work this week even had phone calls at home which is a real pain esp on Monday which is my afternoon off. Still at least I got out to enjoy the sunshine.

Glad your boss got his wheely cool box sorted Naam. Dd has one of those carts from Tchibo Its FAB and she refuses to use her buggy any more. Shes known around our area as the 'little girl with the cart'.

Hello alligator

My boss was really impressed with his wheely cool bag, I told him where I got the information from - he knows I come on here and he doesn't mind as long as I get my work done bless him

I'm OK thank you, on countdown now, I finish at 12 tomorrow till 19th, can't wait. Don't know how I'm going to cope with 9 days without MN though

Know what you mean about phone calls at home, I get the odd one when I'm on holiday. I've told them this time though that if they ring late in the day they won't get any sense out of me because I'll probably have been in the pub since 12

Squirrel I really hope you're OK [worried emoticon]

Hope everyone else is OK too
