    Thanks Milann! Yes, it is - I was very excited, as you can see by the posts :) It was great to have Taxi there right then, not sure what she's up to right now, but I check back all the time :D

    Hi Taxi,

    Just popped in to say hello. Just 2 weeks to go until the big day so it's all very busy. Spending lots and can't seem to stop eating! I think it's the cold!

    Karmacat - congratulations. I was debtfree and ha e just had to add some debt but am trying to be sensible and manage the DFW way!

    Take care

    Thanks urg! I'm not surprised you've had to add debt with the wedding - its a one off, after all, isn't it! And coming from being in debt, you don't have much in the way of savings to fall back on. I hope this runup isn't **too** stressful....

    Morning all...not been up to much.
    Went out on wednesday around the countryside...it calms me and is nice and tranquil and then went to Archery.
    Yesterday I went to a farm to buy some meat so that is all in the freezer now.

    Am still worrying about the hospital and results....the waiting is so hard.

    Penguin you asked when I'd be Sub £20k...just another few days 22nd at the latest....as my loans start coming out from the 20th of the month.

    Have a good day x

    That sounds lovely, Taxi, thats not "not much"!

    It must be. Not long now, and I bet the staff are very good, and understand about the fear.

    How is the Archery (sorry if I missed something)? Now I am picturing you as Robin Hood!
