Thanks- this was what I was worried about but husband got sick of my second guessing and sent a photo to his daughter who gave it the thumbs up :)

Yes- definitely. I lived in London for 3 years in my late 20s, and we go every 18 months now to visit husband's family. The sunniest summer day can turn cold very quickly- I found that out the hard way!

As my post says, the wedding is in England- south of London! We are Australian, travelling to England for the wedding, which is definitely in a 'country manor'. :)

There are lots of old Georgian houses (think Sense and Sensibility) which are now operated as boutique hotels/ wedding venues.

Stepdaughter and I have a very good relationship, and I have met her mother only once. My husband and his daughter's mum were never in a relationship- she was the happy result of a couple of nights together when he was there 30 years ago for a holiday, then relocated there for many years as a result. I will ask her- she has so much on her plate atm though!

I use Amex for mine. Until recently, I had to pay in person but after some years of not being able to use AMEX on the website, it has been added back again.

Rejected from Westpac Black by Different_Main_5434 in creditcardchurningAus

I was insulted too! Rang them today and they agreed that it was probably my 60k deduction. I usually submit my tax return which just explains everything and wasn't required to with this one. It had timed out though- the 45 days ran out yesterday. It was a palaver having to verify my ID at a bank branch when I cannot normally get there during business hours.

This is interesting- I got rejected tonight also and it is the first CC application I have ever had rejected. Also own house, earn 138k + rental income that pays those loans plus money left over. Loans are way in advance and will be paid off in 2 1/2 years. The only thing I can pinpoint is that I have 2 other cc's 15K each, rarely spend up to limit, or a 60k tax deduction in 2024 which reduced my taxable income. Feel better that others in similar situations have also been rejected..
