hang on... i'll try to find the linky... EDIT: http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showpost.php?p=2536521&postcount=7 click the linky in the post:)

the cat vid that Hecate posted earlier oh and chocolate...

I was offered it for about £100-£200 (we had a civil wedding in the end -- despite parents' sulks!) It often depends if you regularly go to that church or if you are just getting married there because it is pretty or 'the done thing'. A church that knows you is likely to be cheaper!

I've moved this to the parenting group

To be honest, i jsut spoke to the flowerwholesaler about the estimated number of flowers needed, my mum actually stood there and counted how many individual flowers on a bunch of chrysanths to work out how many bunches we'd need. That and a bit of calculation (over estimate on EVERYTHING) about how many roses i wanted in my bouquet (look at pics and count the fowers in the ones you like) Have a good idea in your head about jsut how you wnat everything to look and it should all work out! I didn't do the test run (probably should have, but hey!) and it all worked out perfectly! I ended up with this as my bouquet, my bridesmaids' ones were slightly smaller and without the ivy (free ivy - collected from hedgerows etc a day before )

i honestly jsut misread this one as 'misleading thread titles'

I know i'm not exactly a baby... but i had a granuloma in my belly button a couple of years ago after some surgery... it grew as an extra kinda pinky lump in the scar. It didn't stop growing when i was told it should so my consultant did a small op (under local) and in 5 mins it was gone, no stitches. a couple of weeks later it grew again.. but this time stopped itself and disappeared again a bit later hope that helps a bit Em

All of my guests had a single rose each. the special men had a double rose and the special ladies had either double rose or fresia and rose.

We also didn't go down the traditional route... we had no favours at all

http://www.bbc.co.uk/derby/travel/travel_roads_latest_feature.shtml i use that and the south yorkshire version, if its not on there then it should be open!

at 10am there was still snow out in derbyshire, its pretty much gone where i can see at the mo... i can tell you that Woodhead is def open as my mum jsut went over it!!!

as far as bbc is concerned... YEP

Hartington Hall in Derbyshire caters for up to 50, has real log fires in winter and is beautiful for wedding... but I'm biased They are also very reasonably priced - beat all our other options by MILES!! You could just have the ceremony there or the ceremony and a meal, all round good value to be honest... and they have rooms! And a beautiful honeymoon suite http://www.yha.org.uk/find-accommodation/peak-district-sherwood/hostels/Hartington-Hall/local_info.aspx PM me and i'll try to find their current price list

Ohhh Natalie... not a nice experience!!!!! If its any consolation my little Bro spent most of his childhood climbing the babygate and launching himself off it - head first - onto the paving slabs outside the back door!!! My poor mum, forever having a child with lumpy head and black eyes!!! he's 26 now and only slightly daft!!!

eek no i suspect that many won't!! I had mine at Hartington Hall (YHA) in derbyshire, they catered for 50 of us for a sit down meal and the grounds were lovely... probably still too small for what you are thinking, but somewhere similar might be worth looking at.

For once, http://www.snopes.com reckons this one is real

it should be this week and next week if i remember rightly, the two weeks over xmas and new year though that linky above porbably says that EDIT: yep it does

Don't worry, its works computer not mine *dodges the sparks*

oohhh i'm drooling again... what with the christmas dinner thread and this one.. i'm hungry!!! Ta

thanks stackmonkey the chicken parcels... what are they parcelled in?

Thanks I'll investigate next time i'm out that way

oo i'll have to try that one... do you have to order gluten free? Dunston ones are all gluten free so i can just go mad

Dunston farm shop on the edge of Chesterfield do the best sausages - gluten free too

My mum learnt that lesson when my bro was at the stage of 'pressing buttons'... hmmm.. that stage lasted for nearly 20 years i think... in went nice jumper for a cool wash... out came jumper for a kitten with one arm/leg longer than the other and a sideways head

I think he meant the first one too I'm, one of those people who has dyspraxia very mildly, or at least i can hide it and compensate well for it... unless i'm tired or stressed... or both... then there's no hope for me, i can't drive, i can barely walk in a straight line, i have to concentrate to stay stood upright... I'm sorry your son has it severly cyberghost it can be a seriously depressing and frustrating condition at times... it can also be hilarious if you can manage to see the funny side of certan things
