    Thank you very much everyone :)

    I liked this idea! We're going to need all of you to help out I think!

    Wow! I've just read all 17 pages of your thread! It really has made me realise that I need to get a grip. Congratulations on your wedding! I totally agree that life is for living... but ... it's that living that has caused my debt. You have inspired me to make a real start and do a statement of affairs TODAY!!!
    I am kind of loooking forward to you all ripping my spending apart in a way. I can't believe how emotional I am getting just thinking about sorting this out! I'll start a new thraed soon with my SOA.

    Thank you everyone :)

    We have started looking into various options for the wedding and it's easy to understand how peeps get in debt when preparing for one! I am determined to not add to my debt so wish me luck! The good thing is that I am perfectly sure a £1,600 dress won't 'make my day' as the lady in the shop told me yesterday :rolleyes:

    Judi24 - well done on asking for advice separately. Hope you feel better for it hun. Goodness knows where I'd be if I hadn't found all of you :o

    Keep at it gang x

    It seems like ages ago when you first started this thread but to be honest you have come so far in such a short time! You should be really proud of yourself. :D

    I wish you and your OH (jammy sod :p ) all the happiness for the future! :beer: ;)

    Thank you very much hun! :D

    It does feel like such a long time ago that I was this lost/panicked/clueless/scared person and you were one of the kindest people on here to me - remember my pathetic attempts at working out totals??? :rolleyes: :rotfl:

    I hope I never return to that state and I rely on you all to keep me in check ;)
