    So, I've gone backwards by £84.92 - new taps for bathroom sink and bath/shower, plus new toilet seats for bathroom and downstairs loo :(:( OH's dad is going to fit the taps for us which will save a bit but still need to get a plumber for the leak :(

    Not declaring the effect on my total yet though. I will wait until more payments have gone through so my % doesn't go the wrong way :A

    However, would like to update my weight:
    #77 14lbs/63lbs :T:j

    Slowly, slowly.....

    Got a further discount on our wedding rings (all booked and paid for now). We had budgeted £2,000 originally (:eek: I know - I wasn't thinking about debts at the time :o). Anyway, we've managed to get them for £878 (platinum for me, palladium for OH) and that's just the trade cost of the metals. Jeweller is making them for free for us :j:j He def gets an invite now ;)(was on the maybe list as his wife helps out a lot with the horses, which I have little time for these days :()

    Sorry, a little off thread, I know, but I'm excited and a saving's a saving, right?! :A

    £20 is 10% of my remaining freemans debt and it doesn't do me any harm. Although I will not be sending him a picture as requested, although that would be £40 :| Will try to find a picture of someone in the bra on the interwebs and see if I can send that.

    Ah, I have a lot to lose so it's easy getting those lbs off to start with (plus I had a head start ;))

    I've just done my meal plan for this week and my shopping list and it looks as though I should be well under budget, which is great. :T I feel as though I want to make extra payment (there's a lot of payment envy on this thread, isn't there!? :rotfl:). Hopefully, if I come in under for the month I can transfer the difference to credit card ;) That'll appease me for a short while :rotfl:
