Woohoo ordered our wedding cake last nite! Love it! Cant wait to see it the day before the wedding!

Not much else I can do now until I'm debt free. Might concentrate my efforts on the table numbers, and the diamonte socks which I need to put together.

Diamonte socks? They sound interesting!

Glad your wedding planning is going well - I should really get on the case and get the last few invites sorted.... in fact I might do that now as my ebay auctions are ending from 7pm tonight so I could do a couple of hours of invites then come back online from 6pm in case of any questions in the last hour of my auctions. Thank you for the inspiration!

Keza can I just ask you if you have updated your outstanding debts cos you have made mamouth moves but it still says debt at Sept 09 - I am confused. Too scared to do this myself but you are a star and inspiration - wish I didn't have mortgage and bills so all my money could go towards debt, but you are doing the right thing of getting rid of debt before getting married. By the way what is BB?

Hi Keza,
Exciting news on cake, hmm, I love baking and eating cakes . I would do my own one for my wedding . If it ever happens:o. We are in February and we still don't have a date, can you believe it? Stupid OH, he doesn't want the way I want it, and I don't want the way he wants it:D.

26 days to go till DFD! I am surprising myself, but this is all thanks to you, you inspired me with your challenge:j.

Better go now, I'm so tired, and hungry, and dizzy...

Hiya! ur doing sooo well! im so pleased! not long to go now! count those days down just like i am! makes it come round quicker some how! im skint now till payday - have chucked everything i can at debt this month. hopeing for a better go next month! have just taken up crochet to keep me busy (as if wedding planning doesnt keep me occupied enuf lol!) and im loving it! mum got me 12 balls of wool so im starting on a granny square blanket! cant wait to go home tonite to do some lol!!! :rotfl:xx

keza

Well we are almost at the end of another week – cant believe how quickly time actually flies by – not that I'm complaining at the mo as long as it slows down again next year!

Done my first granny square for my blanket last night. I love this crocheting lark! So relaxing. I could do it for hours!
Virtual savings pot and sealed pot are adding up nicely, I think ive hit the £70 mark in the last month which is massively good going considering I didn’t think id be able to put nething in them the last month! If I can put away around £50 a month combined over them then I will be looking at a nice wedge of £500 saved for xmas/wedding treatments at the salon! Wow! I tell u what, I certainly surprise myself sometimes! Its madness and all coz of this site and you guys!

Invites are still a work in progress but they're getting there! Our colour scheme is bright pink and forest green. We decided that in two seconds flat but I think the colours work well together. We were in the car on the way to the fabric shop to get fabric for my friend to make bunting for our wedding and we just chose a favourite colour each. I'm pretty sure I've found somewhere for us to go for lunch after the registry office part of our wedding too What are you on with with your planning?

Man! I'm slowly losing sight of this debt free goal! Can’t even estimate how much my works bonus will be and debt free all rests on that at the moment! If I don’t get it, I won’t clear the virgin card! Fingers crossed it will be the 2k I need!

Plus there’s no other way round it – bonus is the only way to clear the chunk at the end.

I have been referred to a psychiatrist for treatment for PTSD (post traumatic stress) from my accident, I'm very tearful and mega grumpy. Sleepless nights. Stiff neck in the morning, all taking its toll on my little body. Whiplash is making itself known to me again today – no let up! Still, hopefully not I will be on the road to recovery!
