    Another £1003.05 paid off this month, unfortunately next month is going to be a bad bad month, have to pay for a central heating burst pipe and replastering of walls amongst other things, so I will fall a bit behind, must make a concerted effort to make more money need to sort through my junk and ebay or carboot when I have some time.

  • Hope those savings posters will stay with us - I agree that it will be very motivational to keep us on track to not only pay off debt but on to the next level of always paying for future items with CASH. What a great feeling that will be! I want that feeling :j

  • Well I'm looking for wedding dresses - and I *think* I've found The One - and knowing that I can just buy it and it won't affect my spending money for the month - that my bills will still get paid and me, OH and the cat will still get fed is amazing - but really weird!!

    I bet that's a great feeling :) I bought my wedding dress in a sale, it fit like it was made for me and didn't need any altering apart from the hem being taken up slightly as I don't wear high heels. I'd only gone out for a browse, hadn't even set the date at that point - we were engaged though and beginning to discuss weddings:p

    That's so lucky! My little sister got married last year and spent FAR too much on her dress, as well as a fortune on getting it altered - I think our whole wedding (excluding the honeymoon!) is costing less than that :eek:

    I managed to find a Wedding photo album I LOVED in a Paperchase sale a few years ago and thought that was good going - especially as it's a vegas chapel picture on the front of it and that's where we're getting married! :D
