Two lovely stories 
 
Couldn't help wondering with the video, after all that organisation, supposing she had said no?
Stop that, Lesley.  This is about happy stories.
 
Backinwellies, so glad that things are working well for you.  Make sure you put lots of photos of your wedding on here.

Wow Linda, you have packed a lot into 2 years. Best wishes for the Dec wedding.   This is the best I can do as we don't have a wedding icon

Brad and Emily get Engaged! (A LipDub Proposal)

[Moleskins]

Well I've got to figure out how I'm gonna break the news to the OH that whilst she's been out with the dog
I've sold half the house. Is this a happy story? Too darn right it is 

[Bionic]

moleskins, how do you manage to sell half a house?

[Moleskins]

It's a big old house and there's a wall runs through it top to bottom and front to back, we're closing up the openings in that wall effectively splitting the house in half. A bit of judicious work with pipes and wires and hey presto.

Well done! Sounds like a fun job!...It halves everything, cleaning, heating, nagging etc. In fact I could do it to my house, me on one side - and just brick up the other.
