Oh ta mushroom25...didn't realise the peers were voting today...I hadn't seen anything on the news.

To be honest, I'm quite surprised none of the amendments (which would've wrecked the Bill didn't succeed).

So...now I am looking forward to 2015...the pre-wedding diet, the annoyance at being ripped off by the florist, the caterer and the photographer, and the inevitable fight at the reception between a random uncle and aunt who are in the midst of a messy divorce...

Just like everyone else!
