    Ok, had a normal day today no beat downs for me, which is very good! No closer to sorting wedding though... I have had one venue come back to me however when i e mailed them back not only did they not call, when i called them they didn't answer, all day! Guessing why they are cheap... How's everyone tonight?

    Well work settled down for the time being, had a tough couple of weeks and gonna be a tough couple of weeks ahead but really focused for it and can't wait! Debt is now sitting at £28,750 overall and in control and meeting all debt payments and overpaying which is good. Found an amazing venue for a very cheap £1500 and parents have offered to pay for the meal which is approx £1500, so we will only end up spending approx £1500 after oh's parents chip in for bits. I know it's not great spending money when in so much debt but for £1500 i think it's the right decision and i can't wait to be married. Hope everyone else is great...? Weather is hot

    Found a photographer for £250, my O/H did some bargaining from £550 down to £250 very impressed!!! Now trying to find some wedding suits.... 12 week to plan a wedding...Easy! Oh and found a florist that we saw doing nice bouqouts, when we said 'wedding' she said, oh yeah from £45 to £100.... I said how much is that one in your hand, she said £15... Uh.. have you just multiplied by 3 because it's a wedding... We're going to go there day before and just say it's for a present and pay £15 for the flowers and organise the other bits we need. Venue is Kew gardens so really doubt that any flowers we get will be much better then there's anyway!
