    You're lucky not to be friends with that anymore, and if you put in the work to paint them a lovely stand mixer, they would only have looked for 30 euro for it anyway!!

    So basically they did ask for stuff just so they could sell it, because asking people for money is "tacky" but appearently it's ok to ask if your close to the person. Her mam had no clue and is still in all out war with her daughter over it. She said that she's furious at her mothr for telling people (her mother had a fb post about it, saying sorry, etc) and offering to return gifts to people. She's sold some so her mam wants her to pay back the money and she won't let her in her and her dad's house because the gifts are there and if she lets her in she thinks she'll take them.

    Geez, they're crazy.


    omg that is mental!! glad you didn't get her the stand mixer after - some people are unreal and are not socially aware at all!

    that's totally inefficient. You don't ask for anything....it's Ireland....people will just give money without being asked! Which is much better than losing the value of all those items by selling them on straight away.
    Can't believe the mother posted about it on FB :-o

    They probably actually wanted to keep that, but also make a few bob, hence the stand mixer.

    Child's name on clothing allows evil kidnapper to address child by name therefore assuring child this person is someone who knows them and is trustworthy. Or so I was told when suggesting a personalised item as a gift.

    Have to laugh at gifts being held hostage by the bride's mam!

    The woman who was looking for receipts to be included with the presents she requested for babys first birthday, so they could be returned to the store and formula (which is costing her $80 a week) bought instead. Linked in an earlier post http://imgur.com/ljKOkWu

    The kid is turning 1, how are they spending $80 a week on formula?!? Even if they hadn't weaned the kid at all and were only feeding formula I can't imagine it costing that much!

    Maybe it's the formula for growing up as a prize tw*t like his parents.

    That's what I was thinking! Is formula just outrageously expensive in the states or something?

    A quick google would suggest not, unless they're buying specific formula for a medical condition or something.

    You're not even supposed to use formula past 12 months of age. Cows milk is fine or.goats or.whatever.

    From reading that email, it looks like it's the parents who have some kind of medical condition. :p

    Back to the OP's post. Seriously, they are one dysfunctional family....

    We have a limit of €50 a head. So don't go looking for portraits or expensive kitchen equipment! A nice paint by numbers kit or a hand held blender would be doable. You can skip the starters and mains at the Wedding Reception. I, for one will settle for a feed of cupcakes!

    He needs the mixers

    Now given he's more or less moved in, they need to plan a future home.

    Needs at least a work kitchen for him, a cosy kitchen diner for intimate dinners a studio for Lau and a spare room to deal with spooning stress

    So at a minimum a three bed with a utility room? With a south facing aspect so the studio is flooded with light?
