    Over a year to go saving! I'm just thinking through ideas at the moment- although i might start getting bits to spread the cost out!
    I might well go and look at some dresses soon to see what there is, what suits me and how much they are!

    Hi everyone!
    Many thanks for all your support as I struggled to get debt free.
    Just to let you know I have started a new diary on the MFW board. I really hope that everyone who has supported me as a DFW will continue to read about the next stage of my journey.
