Still struggling! Ended up getting chicken pox and was really ill. Getting back to work has been a struggle and work is still stressful. Car has broken down a couple of times too and has been at garage being sorted out for over a week!
Less than a month to the wedding!
Have missed everyone here. I'm holding off doing any updates on the finances until the wedding expenses have all left the accounts. Then we'll see where we stand and reassess targets.
Will they and get back to posting though as it does keep me focused!2019 fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons0 -

Have had a quick check of finances and the depressing news is that in over half a year we've made no progress to increase money in the offset account. Although on the plus side we've not used any savings for wedding costs so far. Looks like wedding costs will be covered by our wedding savings and hopefully if we are careful the honeymoon shoul not set us back too far.
I'll just have to make a major effort from now on!2019 fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons0 -
