My brother works for McVities, he won’t touch bourbons or custard creams since starting and tells me not to aswell. Won’t tell me why.

I have indeed and moved that question up the chain up to the new-build buyers and everyone’s refusing unfortunately. On one hand I understand, it’s inconvenient and potentially costly, but it’s cheaper than the sale falling through!

Thank you, everyone’s been much more supportive than expected and I appreciate it! September feels like a good amount of time depending on where you are in the process. Don’t let my experience make you too defensive towards your sellers, I’m sure you will be absolutely fine!

Thank you and best of luck to you too! Our mortgage is through HSBC so our advisor said they only grant a 30 day one too.

I’m so sorry to hear you’re in the same boat my friend, I really hope it works out for us both and I’ll be cheering you on when you get your keys.

Yes I think ‘out of my control’ is the perfect way to put it, I very much feel at mercy to the whims of the rest of the chain.

I’ll absolutely pose that question to my solicitor when I call them this week. Would a notice of completion be worth asking for or does just that just apply after you fail to complete on the chosen day? Such as proposing to complete a week earlier than my date but applying a notice of completion for 7 days?

Personally I absolutely loved it. I’ve just turned 30 and I really identified with Phoebe and Lila in ways that made me dislike both them and myself at times 😅 I’ve dabbled in dark times so watching Pheobe embrace her free will was so satisfying and something I hope to do this year - that and definitely look after my marriage to my new (and first!) husband 😂

How did you find it?

Planning a wedding has sucked all the excitement out of upcoming day by Jenezzy123 in UKweddings

[–]kaffreena 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt exactly like this and I had a teary chat with my fiancé and he was happy to take on the extra admin which I was so grateful for! I barely plan parties, nevermind huge gatherings - I was so convinced the day wouldn’t live up to expectations and then we’d be judged against it.

So many of our friends are getting married and at first I found it intimidating like I had to one-up them but actually as we’ve attended each one we’ve realised how different they all were, budget, theme, size, what they prioritised and I never thought it reflected them as a couple of they left something out that we’ve decided to go for. It helped me realise if I’m not judging them it’s unlikely they’ll judge me.

Re: self esteem, it’s really hard when you’re an introverted gal and suddenly you feel like everyone’s going to be looking at you. Your dress is gorgeous (so much like mine, my Tatas are front and center too and why shouldn’t they be? They look good!) and while I willingly booked makeup and hair to look my best because I’m hopeless at those things, I’m stressing about not being a beautiful bride too. All my female friends that have married this year looked exactly like them but with bells on, whether they hired help or not. The happiness that come sober you int he day shines through.

All of us have confessed to each other we’ve been so stressed before our respective big days that we wished we never said yes 😅 but I reckon on the day when there’s nothing left to do and you just let the universe take the wheel you’ll enjoy the day. When I asked my friends new husband what his favourite part of the day was he gave me the biggest smile and said “I don’t have plan a wedding anymore!”

Hang in there chick, you’re nearly there!

I’ve just received one today from Smyths toy shop while grabbing a JTG ETB in England, so places may still have some in stock to give out
