Whew!

This is the first time that I have used my Holiday/Gifts Fund for what it was supposed to be used for, and it actually worked!

And yes, I know, I know, I spent a lot on the 'Fun' categories. In my defense, I had a wedding and a hens night to go to, which meant two whole weekends a couple of hourse drive away from my home. This month will be much better, the only thing I have to spend on in September is stuff for my party, which should cost roughly $100 or a bit more. I am thining I will take what I can out of my holiday account, if I need to.

    This might be a stupid question, but I've been wondering since I first saw you mention it... what is a "hens night"? Smile

    It's the bride's version of a bucks night. Big Grin Basically a week before the wedding you get all your friends together and party before you get married (i guess to celebrate the last week of not being married???). I think the Bucks and Hens nights are meant to be held on the same night.
    Some of them involve the penis theme ( think dildos and penis straws) and male strippers (thankfully this one didn't have any of that!) akin to the males Bucks Night usually ending at a strip club somewhere (true to form - the boys bucks night DID end there - although supposedly the groom didn't want to go!)

    Ohhhh, so it's pretty much our "Bachelorette Party", even down to the penis theme. I wasn't too far off, I thought it just meant "girls' night out". Thanks for explaining! Smile
