DC's journey to become debt free and saving for wedding

that sounds like a good idea, we had a walk around magician once at a christmas party and it made it worth going.

That sounds like a good idea and people will chat and laugh and the drink will flow etc. No pressure to get up and dance which I hate and only do when drunk which I can't be at my own wedding lol.

Thanks Missymoo. I know it will come good in the end. I will find out a price of the magician tomorrow and take it from there.

what sort of things did he do lemon tree? I'm really intrigued as I've never been to a party with one, they sound really good though and everyone likes magic don't they.

What sort of magic did he perform and would it be suitable for kids?

Hey hun how are you? Have you managed to make any more payments today? I really need to knuckle down, I ended up going to Matalan at lunch and spent a fortune, now after looking at it all and feeling bad, I've decided to take most of it back on Saturday. I really need to stop spending, atleast I'm heading in the right direction and taking it back.

it was suitable for all age ranges, lots of card tricks, things appearing out of pockets/hats other such puzzles it was a few years ago now so i can't remember all the details but i did enjoy it.

I am not too bad thanks. I made another payment of £3.02 to the wedding fund today. I got the price for the magician £125 for all day or £80 for the evening party. So alot cheaper than a DJ. Still not sure what I am going to do yet.

I know it is very hard not too spend money but at least you are taking some back. Just take small steps each day and you will get there in the end.

The OH informed me today that he needs £25 for his new licence. Money that was not budgeted for. So I have £5 spare money to do me until payday at the end of the month. There will be no luxuries for me this month.

oh crikey £5 isn't a lot but I take it everything else has been budgeted for? Don't forget that you still need to live a little too hun, you're only young once, as my nanny would say, don't cut things back so far you can't have fun and live a little. x

Don't worry everything is budgeted for and we have lots of vouchers for nights out to use up before the end of August. I don't think we will be going out much as I have an exam to study for in September and if I pass it I will be getting a payrise. So my head will be stuck in a book the next two months.

Another £3 added to the wedding fund today. We are off the see a venue tomorrow so will let you know how we get on.
