Already bought all the presents now I think. Going to make a few bits (ie fudge, biscotti etc) and put them in boxes with paper on them (thanks Birdie!) for the family friends and grandparents. Already have homemade chutney to go in them. Need a photo album for my grandad as I'm going to give him some wedding photos, but other than that I think we're pretty much there.
Sold an ebay item I was sent to trial by Cosmo magazine (why - I don't even subscribe!) for £49 on ebay this afternoon, so will withdraw that to the bank account this evening. Really spurs me on to list more though, thats £49 I didn't have yesterday, although do need to parcel it up now.
Also found out NIMs car won't be ready until Friday, it's a pain in the neck but also 3 days less petrol to find so I'm not too bothered actually!Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

Yey, another £30 made on ebay today. Very excited!
LOVE the dress Swinstie, couldn't look earlier as too many colleagues buzzing about but I'm off the clock now. That's really beautiful, classic but modern.Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

Thanks girls, unfortunatley don't have pics of the actual dress but it's quite similar (in ivory). Going to take my mum for a look in the next few weeks so will try and get a pic of it then. Wanted something simple (like myself) and quite classic as I'm now an oldie at 37 (today), looks lovely with my fur shrug also.
Wedding next November 11/11/11 in Stirling, ooh I'll still be 37 when we get married - OH will have another birthday before then - old dude!0 -
Gorgeous dress Swinstie!
Dinah - that is good you have Christmas sorted, one less thing to worry about.0 -
Really like all those dresses Swinstie, especially the one you picked (was it the deep v-neck?). Super stylish. Better go and look for some dresses myself at Christmas if it takes them 8 or 9 months to come in. That's quite exciting. Unfortunately since I found the good pizza place in Kampala I have put back on most of the weight I lost at the beginning of the trip. Shame!:A :heartpuls June 2014 / £2014 in 2014 / £735.97 / 36.5%0

Another £17 sale on ebay this evening, and 7 more items listed.
On a lighter note, it seems I have about £45 (so £180 when quadrupled) Tesco vouchers left to cash in before the 5th. What should I get with them?!Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008
