How do you pick your album photos?
ajdown of Just Married, 31 October, 2011 at 21:49

We have almost 500 and have to pick 40 for our album. We've gone past the 40 and trimmed back several times already but we've still not covered the speeches, evening entertainment and shots of guests....

OM's - since moving in together, what do you think your OH has found most difficult about you?
ajdown of Off Topic Posts, 9 November, 2011 at 15:41

Moving on from this thread I wondered what, if the question were asked of your OH what you do that is most difficult to adjust to... what do you think they would say? Clearly it can't always be the...

Pocket Money
ajdown of Off Topic Posts, 3 November, 2011 at 08:14

Inspired by the 'how much are you spending on your kids at christmas' thread, and realising that people spend far more than I'd ever imagine, I thought back to my childhood days and pocket money. Back...

Nosebleeds
ajdown of Off Topic Posts, 2 November, 2011 at 16:51

Anyone else suffer them on a regular basis? I've got manflu at the moment so I'm blowing my nose a lot, and I'm getting more than I really ought to - if 'any' is, of course, considered acceptable....

OM question - Wills
ajdown of Off Topic Posts, 31 October, 2011 at 12:23

Yep, exciting I know, but something we probably need to think about fairly soon. Is there a nice simple, cheap and easy option for a fairly basic will, or do we have little choice but to spend...

How much was/is your Stag?
ajdown of Planning, 11 April, 2011 at 19:50

Despite my best efforts not to have one, I get the feeling that is not going to be an option. I'm not a drinker so anything involving pubs and clubs is a definite no to me, so if I have to have one I...
