Yukkibear - The debt free life begins with a whole new set of challenges
Comments

Having a chilled out day today, working out costings and ideas for my jewellery, which I really want to pursue but want to research it first.
DD2 has a party tomorrow which will be nice, but I fear it's the start of things to come and she's only 2 lol. They just get younger and younger.
Here's a sneak at a bracelet I made the other day.

That is a really nice bracelet. It would be good if you could get into making them for money.0

That bracelet is beautiful YB - well done! Nice job photographing it too - so often you see a lovely piece of jewellery being advertising that is not done justice by the photo.

Busy busy day today, a party and a visit to the parents. Had fish and chips for tea, yummy.
Sadly my tooth has been playing up again today and I had to resort back to paracetamol. I finish my course of anti biotics tomorrow so I'm going to have to phone the dentist again if the pain isn't gone tomorrow as there's obv still a prob that the pills haven't solved. Bummer.
Better news OH's car is finally done and being MOT'd tomorrow so we should have the car back on Tuesday. We'll have no money but perhaps we can get onto an even keel again.0 -
The bracelet you made is gorgeous!

Another start to another week. Where does the time go?0

right that's it, something just clicked in my brain. I want my wedding, and I want the wedding I want!
Stomp stomp stomp
Plan is to raise £500 (or less if the deposit is less on a nice place) and then get saving and making the money to have a wedding (think next year).
Need to really knuckle down though as OH and I get sidetracked very easily and then nothing gets done.
Wierd how I feel so much better after making that decision.0 -
That is a good decision. Hope you manage to save up and have the wedding that you really want.0
