hehe, you see i can save but i may be reluctant to use it then lol but if we can save a good chunk before the wedding it shows just how much we can save to get df.... obviously with loans you cant add extra you can only pay iff in full so its a case of saving and saving and saving hehe xxThe loans will pay themselves the credit cards need a kicking :money: DFW Long haulers supporter 132!!:T0

true, I'm shocked by how much we could save if we really put our minds to it. Come new year, I might try and reduce our spending even more, but I'm hoping dh might get another 'Personal Job' (he works as an architecht in a firm, but sometimes gets given the piddly jobs they wont take on as something to do in his own spare time.) Last time, he spent about 20 hours and got paid £800 - not bad aye! Here's hoping for another few of those! Trouble is, the credit crunch is hitting so people dont want to use architecs:(!!Personal challenge: Do without as much as possible to pay off £12k by 07/2009!!!:T

Amy I can feel your wedding excitement coming through the keyboard.Your plans sound lovely, love the colour scheme and the village hall.If you do your own pics look at www.photobox.co.uk I used them to make up an album of my babys christening from our pictures and they were gorgeous it comes like a book, a colleague of mine used them for her wedding pics and they were awesome.
I stayed at home today, feeling sorry for myself because its TOTM, a friend of mine visited and we had a good gossip shes had a bad time and needed a shoulder to cry on.OH is waiting on me tonight as im milking feeling poorly for all I can get.
