  • Hi there,

    Would you mind if I join you all?
    I have a special debt I'd like to pay by July. We still owe the photographer for our wedding (July 2011) €900.

    We had paid her €1200 already, and received a disc with the photos and I know we could do up an album ourselves (which would be much more MSE) but it is our wedding photos, and I don't mind paying to have them done up very nicely in a beautiful album. The full price also included two big enlargements. So I thought it might be a nice surprise if I paid the balance and had the album done up before our 2nd wedding anniversary. I get paid 11 times before then and I was thinking 10 x €90 cheques would do it.

    This debt isn't in my signature, because I didn't really consider it a proper debt, but I would really like to get sorted out and I need an action plan and a bit of accountability so I'd love to join you here to tackle it! :D

  • Well done Mandz :-)
    You are doing great!
    I am waiting til I get paid next Thursday to pay my first installment to the photographer. Have been shuffling around my budget and it won't be easy to squeeze the €90 per fortnight, but I can do it if I really try :-)
