The Ultimate Incentive to get debt free… again. Dinah & NIM go head to head!

Hi Everyone

It's been such a busy few weeks, I am so behind on all the challenges. Well, it wasn't even really busy, but I just had to go loads of places and wait for people and things... anyway. I confess that I haven't even yet got around to ordering the dreaded Shred from Amazon, let alone doing any of it. But I have got a half hour Davina DVD that I'm going to use, I know it's not the same, but I reckon I need to be a few lbs down in the next month as my wedding dress is so tight!!

And I am still only at 54 goals on my day zero list - how do you ladies think of so much to put on there??!! Or is it okay to be half-assed about it my usual way of doing things....

Wedding preparation is hotting up. It's a month today and there's still loads and loads to sort out. I am trying not to leave it too last minute. We have to arrange cars, order cheese wedding cake, bouquets or corsages (haven't decided which) and we still have to figure out a lot of the stuff for the service like readings, and if we will have hymns or a musician or anything. Hopefully this time next week we will be a lot more sorted.

I must confess we are part of the upvc double glazing crew!! The people before us changed all the windows on the front of the house, and we changed the huge downstairs and living room windows and doors. The timber was completely rotten and the door so bad we couldn't even get house insurance. It did cost a lot though, and I am well paranoid about getting mouldy. I would have had timber frames with double glazing in if I had the choice, but just happy to have this house really.

Aaanyway... Cinny so sorry to hear about your Granda, I hope he feels better soon. Tete well done on the comp, I got a Lumix too, a DMC-LX3 whatever that means. It has such good auto for camera dummies like me Good luck training for the Great north Run!

Dinah and NIM, hope the money situation improves.

Birdie, CMD, Flower, Wendz, NIM, Poddle, Zig and everyone - greets from me!

Ah nice to hear from you Lara! I can't believe your wedding is so close now! Oooooh it's so exciting! You could always cheat a bit on your 101 things and have 'Eat a cheese wedding cake' and 'Wear an expensive white dress' that will get done next month and get you off to a good start. I mean, technically they're things you've wanted to do for a long time so it's not really cheating...

Dotty P? Sounds like a bad stage name for a rapper...should I know this shop?

Dinah93

Dorothy Perkins, you'll have heard it a lot as its the only womens clothes shop in Guisborough.

Hi everyone, can't believe how long it's been since I last posted in here. Hope you're all ok! Was reading through some of the many posts I've missed but gave up after a bit and just read the last couple of pages!

Hi DK welcome back. How are you?

dippykitty

I'm good thanks, hope everyone else is too! Just to fill you all in, my contract ended at the end of May and I'm being kept on for 12 hours a week, only minimum wage though so not amounting to that much and freelancing around it. Not a lot else been happening really - my life is so boring as you can tell!
