    We still have June's challenge to finish off.......the Cauldron of Doom is groaning under the weight of all those NSDs, but still room for plenty more!

    Igor tells me they have decided to have the wedding the weekend after Wimbledon finishes, so just a few weeks to get everything ready! Chef is already soaking a mahoosive fruit cake in turnip brandy. Pass the fire extinguisher, and don't turn on any light switches, folks....

    I know.I'm getting a bit ahead of myself.

    Please tell me that the caterers will be doing the meal?Wedding cake,fair enough...

    It's just that I heard Igor mumbling something about a banquet of pilchard vindaloo mini quiches,and Mrs Doyle is doing the sandwiches.... :(

  • TheOnlyGirl - sounds like you are enjoying this budgeting lark, well done you! You can save money, repay debts and still have a life, it doesn't have to be all doom, gloom and deprivation.

    Yes nargle, I am enjoying my MSE journey so far. It is so nice to see some money left over in the bank and in the envelopes at the end of the month. Much better than being overdrawn 5 days after getting paid. There is indeed life after debt. I know I am not quite debt-free yet but I can almost see the end and that makes all the long hard slog all worth it. I just wish I have discovered MSE well before March this year.

    The best part of it is my kids and hubby love it too, especially the surprise meals I come up with using up stocks in fridge and cupboard. Doesn't feel like deprivation at all. Far from it.

    Good morning NSD gang! Day off today, no plans for shopping (no cash to do any, and meals are planned between now and payday anyway) so the Narglehounds are revving up for a NSD hunting expedition. Report later!
