Hey guys
Some of you may vaguely remember me as I was a regular(ish) poster a while ago and then dissappeared.
I found it really hard to keep up with being good with my money, but I did find that coming on to this site helped. But I really let it slip in the run up to my wedding, I couldn't concentrate on saving/spending wisely and generally felt overwhelmed by it all (and very crap).
But I am married now and the last bit we owe for it (reception venue) will be paid tomorrow and that will be that. We did go careful witht the wedding and not overboard, but it was still an expense that my bank account certainly felt!
Anyway, I'm back and this time I'm going to do it properly...once I've posted this I'm going to look at the other recent threads to get me in the money saving mood and then draw up my attack plan.
I've got a good incentive to get straight as we would like to move house as soon as possible, but need to ditch the debt first - so going to remind myself of that if I feel I'm slipping.
So guys, your advice for my plan of attack, general support and usual fab tips are going to be very much needed!
Miffi's back!
