I'm in Bhubaneswar, known as the temple city of India. It's about 400km south of Calcutta on the East Coast - only 60km from the mighty Bay of Bengal!

And that's the reason is it? Thank Christ, my heart. I knew ye were getting married there but for a few minutes I thought I'd made a massive f-up! was thinking "Surely they'd have said something when we said our wedding date if we shouldn't be there!" :pac:

Yeah, for a Spanish wedding all the legal paperwork has to be dated within 6 months. Must actually go introduce myself to our priest

He has to write to the priest in Spain to tell him we're not criminals:D

And apparently I need a letter of freedom from every PARISH I've lived in since 18, including abroad. That's 7 parishes, I don't even know what I'd do about the abroad one. I read on their website that it was a letter from every county you ever lived in and if it was more than 3 you could get a letter from someone else (can't remember who or what) that saved you all that bother. Must check it again.

What to have for dinner, pizza? Supermacs?

We have to get one from the government buildings but that's all I think...I'm not looking forward to the paper work bit...it looks complicated...I don't like complicated:pac:

Oh and get super macs. nom nom nom.

Have chinese ordered. Gonna have to be rolled down the aisle

Acoshla · 14-04-2012 6:29pm

My problem with Supermacs is it's always gone so fast. I always get a cheeseburger and chips, burger is gone in seconds, so small! Need Burger King, it's too far away though.

Shur a cheese burger and chips is only like a starter:)

I can't do it, I can't eat more than the cheeseburger and chips without feeling like a fat savage, the meat is so crap, but I *love* their cheeseburgers!

NO!! I will get a chicken kebab from the awesome local kebab place, takes ages to eat, and has loads of salady stuff. Win!

I hate horse racing like that, so unfair that the animals get so badly fecking injured and put down as such a routine thing.

This is just for a church wedding, I assume? None of this rigmarole for a civil ceremony, I hope!

She text & apologised, said she was stressed, so I told her to open a bottle of wine & relax... It's happy hour somewhere :P

But the other side of that is they wouldn't put them in the race if they thought they couldn't do it. JP has lost a lot of money with him being put down so maybe he was in shock rather than not caring?

The option I read is grand, just one letter of freedom to say you're not married anywhere before, the parish notion seems a bit much, but she was wrong about something else so that could be old info.

Orla K · 14-04-2012 7:51pm

Something/someone just confused me. I either they're stupid or I am, and I really don't think I'm stupid which must mean they've said something so stupid I can't understand what they're on about

But I'm still confused

UpCork · 14-04-2012 8:07pm

I have a friend who really saps the energy out of me emotionally. She is extra-ordinarily needy and turns to me for constant affirmation and reassurance. I love her dearly and she is a lovely person but needs to grow a bit of a backbone and learn to make decisions for herself. She'll ask for advice and I'll give it - she'll then act on what you say,even if she doesn't want to and when it goes t**s up she'll say 'you told me to do it'. You have to constantly watch what you say.

As I say I love her dearly but she goes through phases of where she calls on the phone very day. If you don't pick up you could get 20 missed calls in quick succession. If you totally ignore calls because you are doing something else she'll freak out.

She is in her mid 20s and really should be more mature as she also has a job to hold down. I want to help her out but when she hangs on EVERY single word I say it is difficult. She isn't able to read between lines you have to be very blunt.

Had a two hour phone call with her today - going over the same thing again and again - reassuring, re affirming etc. When she rang me I told her I was out and it would be hard to talk - never once during that conversatino did she say 'sorry am I keeping you or I'll call you later'. I tried to go three or four times but to no avail.

I feel like a horrible person but it really drains me.

Time to open the wine I think

I couldn't be doing with that at all, I personally would've told her to feck off and be a grown up quite a while ago, but you're probably much nicer than me, many people are

No. If you say your tired/stressed out etc it's well 'you should be me'. She isn't a friend you can vent to yet she does all her venting to me. I know that friendship isn't tit for tat and I don't expect it to be, but it's the constant expectation that you are to be at the other end of the phone - I wouldn't mind if she had a serious calamity but most of the time it is 'I had a fight with my Mother, what will I do, she hates me'. I mean when you are 16, fair enough, but mid 20s

There is no happy medium - she is either so miserable she's bordering on not even being able to speak, or so hyper she makes no sense - no middle ground. You also can't have downday if she is having a good day - you are 'spoiling the fun'. Yet her good days could come once every three months and you might only have a really down day once every six months (I usually keep my bad days hidden from her but sometimes it's hard too).

Thing is she is a lovely person just very hard to engage with on any level and she takes it all to heart and gets overly emotional. She is also very naive, but when you warn her and look out for her - you are the baddie.

I agree and there needs to be a change in the Grand National and possibly across the board regarding animal safety methinks.

I've heard a lot of people today giving out about horse racing and how inhumane it is but to be fair, these views are coming from people who only watch the main races during the year because of mainstream coverage.

Yes, it's extremely sad for all those involved with horses that have been put down but horse racing gets a bad rep from those that don't watch regularly and of course a negative spin will be put on it.

Stuff like that makes me dread a church ceremony- me and the OH are different religions and I know it's going to be a headache.
I'll keep pushing for a Vegas service...

Fear not, I was right, I can get an affidavit from a solicitor stating I've never been married, easy

Different religions don't complicate things too much from what I've read, gettingmarried.ie has lots of info.

My mom wanted us to get married in Vegas, but then my grandad couldn't be there and my Dad would throw a fit because we wouldn't invite him there, and boyfriend's giant family wouldn't be able to come which would devastate them.

So what's everybody doing on their Saturday night?

Saturday Night, watching Fringe and doing a bit of writing. Going to have a nice glass of wine in a while.

The baby threw me a bone earlier: "I love Mama."

I choose to ignore the fact that I featured in a list of loves that included Daleks and Scrambled Egg.

FouxDaFaFa · 14-04-2012 9:33pm

UpCork, what an exhausting situation to be in. People like her freak me out a little bit, tbh. I don't know if it's a personality trait or if they're just immature or hyper-sensitive or what it is. It seems unnatural to rely on others so much. Not just asking for advice every now and again, but not being able to make any decisions yourself.

I have one friend who sounds like a slightly calmer version of her but I'm not the friend she goes to for these things. Mainly because I think she knows I wouldn't be able for it! :pac:

I'm wrecked - sat down into the recliner, and I could fall asleep. Anyone want to finish off my methodology essay??? Refereed a game and ended up going to another one

Once Britains Got Talent is over on +1, I'm back at it - have to be in town for 8.30 to referee a camogie blitz, I haven't refereed camogie in about two years :eek: Watching it and there is a 14 year old on, I'd have put her about 18 at first look!!!

Costs you more that way. Monthly tax rate is 1/10th of the annual rate so you end up paying 120% of the annual tax by doing 3 or 6-month tax...

That gluten free stock still has a gluten containing ingredient in it but in order for them to be called gluten free it as to contain less than x mg of gluten. Can't remember the number but I remember looking at the ingredients before and all the stocks(including the gluten free ones) they had a gluten containing ingredient and there didn't seem much difference between the gf ones and the non gluten free one.

Stock is really easy to make. You just boil up the various ingredients for a couple of hours, strain and freeze. Needs more storage space in the freezer though.
