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

Primula

Good luck YB with your list, although you are already checking things off. I bet you feel dead excited now you have the Registrar booked as well.

I had a list for the w/e and surprisingly enough I managed to get quite a bit of it done, ironing is not done yet though surprisingly enough!!... and my car is badly in need of some TLC and a good wash and valet but it was way too cold for that.

Oh and def promote your jewellery, I saw pics of some of it and it's lovely.

Thanks Primula. I am getting through my list, but the house is a complete tip. Still I can't do it all lol.

It's cold here this afternoon, but trying not to put the heating on. I have listed 9 CD's on ebay, and then will start on some books. I don't care anymore, want rid of the tat and to raise money for the wedding.

It does feel good to have the registrar booked too. It's the two most important things done (apart from the dress) which I can stress about later.

DD liked pre school but wouldn't talk to the ladies, though she says she will next time.

Great that the registrar is booked- how exciting!

Yes we're legal and I know if nothing else gets done, I can get married lol.

Today is the start of my working week, ad wont end until sunday night. I was looking through the finances the other day, and I HAVE to reach the £300 per month into savings to achieve this target of paying off the wedding without getting into debt.

Ebay here I come.

Primula

Good luck with your £300 p/m savings for your wedding. I'm trying to save a similar amount to take OH away for a surprise holiday for a big b/day! Worked out if I can save the equivalent of £10 per day I can do it. So for the next 7 months I am going to be super-tight! I have made myself a wee chart to mark off each day from 1 March, no money in yet, but I have overtime coming so that will be a start. Walked to work every day this week (normally I am so lazy and drive even though it's only 10 mins) and I rekon each day I walk will be another £1 so 10 days walking will be another £10 for the pot IYSWIM!

Glad the wee one enjoyed pre-school.

good luck with that primula. That's kind of what I'm doing but my chart says £14 per day, (just to over save for emergencies). I'm ahead at the mo, but no money for a couple of days so it will lapse.

I hadn't prepared anything for lunch or dinner tonight whilst at work so was going to buy something. Just gave myself a talkng to and made risotto, means I'm having it twice today but never mind, it saves me money. Determined isn't the word.

Where are you going to go on holiday Primula?

Primula

Well done with the lunch, sometimes it's just so b***** hard being organised, well done doing that, it's such an expense buying lunches, drinks etc in the wee shops. Well done on being ahead on your chart too. Would really like to go to Italy as OH has always wanted to go there, but it is quite pricey, but I will try my hardest!

yukkibear

You'll do it Primula, I know you will. We can spur each other on. I didn't go to the shop and ate my risotto so that feels go.

Primula

Well done with your lunch. I am wondering what I will do today for mine! It's such an awful day here with horrible wet snow, I am still wet from walking to work so don't know if I can face the walk again at lunchtime. Good idea we can spur each other on, it's nice to have someone to tell my plans to as I don't want it to be a surprise to OH and don't want to tell anyone at home in case I fail miserably!

yukkibear

You're not going to fail Primula, think positively.

I'm thinking the same this morning, nothing prepared for dinner tonight again, so will have to think of something.
My teeth are playing up again this morning which is a pain as they have been behaving the last couple of weeks. I can't have that pain back again as I'm working all weekend.

Coupld of ebay parcels sent off with OH this morning and posted, but apart from that I have been very unproductive and been playing on my farm all morning.
