Bombay Duck Honeymoon Underwear Bag

By admin on August 15th, 2006

I will freely hold my hand up and say I am absolutely obsessed with holidays at the moment. I can’t help it, it’s August and I want to be somewhere warm! Perhaps that is why I was in raptures when I spotted Bombay Duck’s satin embroidered underwear bag or maybe it was just because it is so pretty. It’s perfect for storing your smalls on your honeymoon and I’m sure you’ll take it for every weekend away and vacation too. It comes in pink or black (only black seems available at the moment) and is embroidered in a lingerie design too – £18 Satin Underwear Bag.

Could your Tesco clubcard get you a dream destination wedding?

Does this title sound a bit far fetched? Actually, it’s true. If you buy your weekly groceries or stock up on petrol at Tescos, you really should get yourself a clubcard if you haven’t already. Ever quarter you’ll get tokens with your clubcard statement which you can convert into holiday vouchers at four times the value of your voucher (for example, £2.50 in vouchers equates to £10 in holiday tokens). Tescos have teamed up with Cosmos to provide Dream Weddings; the brochure contains details of 12 getaways in great locations with wedding ideas and consultants to help plan your destination wedding.

Travel Insurance for your honeymoon

All this talk of wedding insurance and impending doom has reminded me of the importance of travel insurance too. I’m sure there could be nothing worse than topping off a beautiful, well planned wedding with a holiday that makes you wish you had gone for a nice British seaside adventure instead.

Send us on honeymoon (aka the lengths some people will go to)

By admin on June 19th, 2006

Most couples are usually more than grateful to accept a helping hand from relatives to fund their wedding. And if that dream honeymoon seems a little out of their budget, they may choose to scrimp on other details to have more cash to splash out on a dream destination. But not one English couple.

Wayne and Lyn, from the North West, are asking strangers to give them cash. The couple who have been together for over 13 years (and apparently not learnt to save during this time) hope to raise around £5000 to spend on a honeymoon.

Uneasy about asking friends and family to help out (yet not strangers) and burdened with a heavy mortgage (aren’t we all?) and loans, Wayne thought of the bright idea to sell words and links on a website for cash (that hasn’t been done before has it?)…

Honeymoons for under £200

By admin on May 18th, 2006

You’ve planned the wedding and now your thoughts turn to the honeymoon. Technically it is just a holiday but call it a honeymoon and there is a temptation to really go wild on a dream destination. But like most things wedding related the tag of ‘honeymoon’ often comes with extra cost. So how do you have a trip to remember on a budget that won’t make you cry?

If you can bear waiting and are a bit of a risk taker you could try booking last minute. The downsides of this is that your options will probably be limited so don’t make a definitive list of what you want. The best way to choose is base your picks on beach or city, action or relaxing. See what I found for under £200…

Destination wedding

Ah, Britain… what will the weather be like today? If you’ve ever had to wear a sweater in the height of summer or gone short-sleeved in the middle of December you’ll know exactly what I mean. This country is renowned for it’s ability to be completely nonsensical in the weather stakes. So, instead of hoping for the best, why not run off somewhere abroad and and get some guaranteed sun (or guaranteed freezing if that’s what you want). Tips for the day after the jump.
