    So far we have

    - booked the venue and paid a deposit
    - booked the registrar and paid a deposit
    - bought wedding insurance
    - booked the appointment to see the registrar to book the date (not paid yet, going in a couple of weeks)

    also had a vague look at dresses / invites etc but nothing solid yet.

    Good going! I'm vaguely looking at everything at the moment. Might go and look at the church tomorrow and have a chat but I'm really nervous about it!

    Primula, yes you're right I can have it gone in no tine, just need to discipline myself again.

    Jellie I was nervous when we were viewing venues etc but they're very friendly so try not to worry. I made a template for my invitations last night and am quite pleased with the size. Very mse style I can get two from one sheet of A3 card so now need to work out how to make the envelopes and away we go.

    Thanks Wendz.

    I've spent the afternoon doing absolutely nothing laying on a chair in the garden! It was bliss! I had to help out at work this morning, so this was a welcome break this afternoon.

    I have stuck to the meal plan so far this week and made a vegetable curry for dinner tonight. No-one complained so need to get the chicken out for tomorrow lunch and then we're at a bbq tomorrow afternoon.

    I just won £5 on willhill vegas games on a stake returned promo, but won so am a fver up. That's a welcome addition to my extra earnings.

    Whilst dd has been with her granny this afternoon I have been going through her toys. Some have been prepared for ebay this evening and some have gone to the bin / charity shop.

    I am going to see how much of her birthday can be money neutral through selling her old bits and pieces.

    Other than that nothing exciting to report. Spent £180 this morning on Oh's car :(

    Credit card will rise a bit due to that, and nothing exciting in sadly.

    Cars are so expensive grrr!

    You are being very organised sorting your daighters toys out, hope you manage to make a bit of money and at least you will have some space until she gets some more.

    I'm playing around with an old ebay account I have this morning. Have just turned it into a business accoun. Seeing as I am already registered se for the jewellery I am looking into the possibility of expanding into Ebay somehow.

    Doing lots of costings etc.
