My MF Mission 2015

Well keep in touch Ali. You're doing great and I look forward to seeing your progress!

So, I am now officially a wife :beer:

One of the most expensive experiences of my life is over. I should now have spare income each month, which I aim to save up and use as OP's. Also have some spare money now which was going to be spent on the wedding, but me being a bargain hunter and using my negotiation skills, we have managed to reduce our costs and have some left over wonga!

Tip for anyone getting married- Quite simply, enjoy every second. From the moment you get up and start getting ready to the moment your head hits the pillow at the end of the night. O and keep the drink flowing

Off to the bank later to pay in our wedding money we got gifted by our guests. I cant believe how generous everyone has been.

Will update figures in my signature once I know totals.

Update - Total left over from wedding fund was £2500. Adding that to the EF for now. Massive chunk towards my £6k goal by 2017 :j

Paid some wedding cash into the bank and just done my first name change. Only another 57 thousand other things I need to change my name on :rotfl:

At the risk of sounding silly, can someone please explain what DH stands for? I know its something husband but not sure what the "D" is. Guess its the same with DS... ***** Son?

If someone can post the MSE lingo that would be great

Congrats. im sure its stands for dependant. But i must be honest its purely guess work!

In between your name changes, check out the major OP's you can make now the wedding is done and dusted!!

DH is normally darling or dearest husband I believe ( though I'm sure other D words could replace these?!

As opposed to 'flaming' wife...

lippy1923

lol thanks for clearing that up. I'm sure I can come up with a few words beginning with D that sometimes describe my hubby well :rotfl:

Payday today... not really a time for celebrating as the money is already spent

Credit card bills this month will be at a whopping £2k :eek:
Never had them that high in 1 month before. I was also kindly reminded that car insurance, tax and MOT is due in September as well, so that will be a nice drain on the savings.

Top that all with our holiday at the end of the month, I need to try and pull some spending money out of thin air without breaking into my EF.

Still got DH payday to come next week, so will see where I am then.

Going to be brave and do some calcs later and find out what our daily interest amount is on the mortgage. Wish me luck.

Ali-OK

Congratulations Mrs Lippy :beer:

SJ - DW (Dear Wife) often known as SWMBO on other forums (She Who Must Be Obeyed :rotfl:)

Fab news on your wedding gift money, that's a nice extra chunk.

Look forward to seeing your daily interest figure too
