    That's a shame. We're getting a CDROM with ours on which we are then allowed to copy etc. We're hoping to make up our own album and some for pressies.
    Have you got a photographer booked yet or have you got a friend doing them?

    We actually have a colleagues g/f from OH's work. We've seen her work and it's lovely, so we're saving money there and she'll just give us everything copyright free on a disc for us to order what we want.

    A couple of Ebay auctions ended tonight which sold. I'd forgotten about them so that's good, a few more quid to add to the pot.

    Surveys on mysurvey are doing my head in as they are either hardly working or asking to sign into tns which im not a member of. I have four surveys on there thst wont go off cos it wont let me do them.
    Ebay is not so good this month either but I expected that.
    Well done on your sales :)

    I haven't been back to mysurveys yet, should get around to that. I have done onepoll this evening after months of not using it. I managed about 70p tonight and have £6 something now.

    I have a spreadsheet where I calculate all the money coming in against all our wedding spending, savings, christmas spending etc. A couple of weeks ago it was sitting at £700 needed to find. With some clever calculations and realisations, I have just put in a small xmas bonus I heard I was getting earlier today and also 2 months free coucil tax next spring before the wedding and I only have to find £66 now :j

    This is brilliant as when this figure is found I can crack on with emergency savings, my monthly budgets and overpaying the mortgage which I'm really looking forward to doing.

    Thanks Pammy, that figure now stands at £5.10p to find :j

    I ordered dd2's bridesmaid dress yesterday and it was on sale so I shaved £40 off my budgeted amount. I just hope it's ok size wise when it arrives.

    Been at work all weekend and went out last night so am shattered tonight. I wont be late to bed that's for sure.

    Listing as much as I can on Ebay this evening. Four lots sold earlier so made about £15. All helps. Also did a P!c0ne survey yesterday so should get the £3 soon.

    Wow- that is great going. Well done!
    Unfortunately the person I hoped would do our photos a bit cheaper is going in for a hip replacement so we've ended up paying full price! We'll hopefully get decent photos as we're a fairly camera shy unphotogenic bunch!

    That is really great with the wedding money. Bet that takes a lot of the stress away!
