A journey of a 1000 miles must begin with single footstep....

This forum really has changed my entire outlook, I wouldn't even drink cocktails on holiday for my 30th Birthday this year as I thought they were a rip off!

Your dress sounds like it is going to be beautiful EB, will you post some pic's when its done?

funny how a few months or years in my case really change your perspective, i have to say i can be proud that since i started i straight away stopped spending on all credit cards they were handed over to my mum the majority of them i cant spend on anyway because they have been deactivated lol but its something i feel genuinely proud of if i overspend one month its all my cash it doesnt effect my numbers it just slows progresss etc xx

Is it the long, one shoulder style? That will look stunning

Same here Happy, as soon as I had my LBM all cards were cut up and accounts closed so all temptation removed!

I can honestly say I never feel tempted though.

Lol - I'm wrapping tonight - not much choice as I have family who live away and my mum and dad are going on a cruise for Christmas so we are having "Christmas" with them next Tue evening.

Yes, its the one shoulder one - I broke my collar bone a few years so this will cover it perfectly! I am not sure yet whether I am making full length or not, I might go for three quarter length (long enough so that the split is still a feature, but not so long that it is quite so dressy). I think it will still work above the ankle as the shoes are very dressy with a gorgeous diamonte ankle strap. I will decide nearer the time I think!
