    No furniture is the cheap plastic tat, no tarting up can be done with it. Our wedding list is our honey moon / family holiday. It's one thing we've never had so we've asked for cash to have that chance.


    I've got a bid on my ebay items and some watchers on the others. Also decluttered a pair of sandals to the bin this morning, been meaning to throw them out for about a year.

    Having new things does make you feel better, hope you have a chance to save up some money to get some as well as with the wedding and everything.

    Got to love a good declutter at the begining on the year haven't you!

    We're going to go somewhere withing about 3-4 hours flying. Whatever will fly out on the date we want for seven nights. We're a bit restricted this year as DD1 is doing GCSE's so it'll be something like majorca, menorca, etc etc. Going all inclusive though :D

    personally I can't wait. It's reminded me that I need to crack on and get DD2's passport BEFORE we get married so I can use my current passport as her ID. There's always something isn't there.
  • I completely agree with you people and i think this the best option for the time being.Then after some you need apply for the mortgage and i am pretty sure you will get what you want.

    Overnight I made an amazon sale and this lunch time an ebay sale, so that's helping my January target. Shopping is being delivered this evening so my proper meal plan can start from tomorrow morning which should help save some cash.

    The plan for the rest of the afternoon is to put a couple of bits on ebay again and then try to make some more cash.
  • Well done on the ebay sales Yukkibear.
