You are all right and compared to some this isn’t an expensive wedding as we are just an ordinary working class family. I had a cheap wedding and a very unhappy marriage. I am now happily unmarried to a lovely man. I wouldn’t spend the money on a dress for myself but it’s what she wants and the least I can do. They have not got into debt and have paid for most of the wedding themselves. We all have different priorities but it’s up to the individual isn’t it?Â
We are going back to dress shop today to see what can be done.Â
I think you sound like a wonderful mum to her and I think you will be one of the main people to make that day special for her no matter what happens in the lead up to it.
 I hope my post didn't cause offence but I am male and never had the marriage dream that I think society conditions girls to dream about. Like you get toxic masculinity you get toxic femininity which I think I made up just now. The white princess wedding dress is part of that with the pink princess dresses mothers often dress young girls in. Women are not pink and soft but very practical and strong people. It is this strength and practicality that will pull you both through your dress and wedding troubles. All the best!Â
Update on carpet shampoo on coleus accident. I think they've grown a bit but it might well have been the copious water they had to flush them out.🤔
I’m wondering though how you came to mistake carpet shampoo water for ordinary. Or was it a case of adding the shampoo instead of liquid feed? Whatever happened, I think you’ve hit on something. They’re looking good.
My Little Green carpet shampooer ceased to squirt but was happy to suck so I filled a spray bottle with the shampoo and squirted manually. I only used a little and left it in the spray bottle which looks just like my plant mister. A week later, too lazy to go to the tap, I took the top off the mister and tipped the contents over the thirsty coleus. Then I noticed a pleasant but unexpected smell...... @Helios P.S. I really wouldn't recommend it as a fertiliser. I flushed it out immediately
