    Well today I've been very good-I haven't spent anything today :D
    The fact I haven't left the house really helped! I was meant to be going Christmas shopping but I wimped out.

    Yesterday I was called into work for some overtime, so that'll be a nice extra bit in time for Christmas. I had to pay £3.50 for parking and £2.00 for lunch so that let me down a bit. Sorted out the Christmas rotas too-I have nearly 2 weeks off over Christmas and my birthday_party_
    I only had to book 2 days off because my usual days off fall in just the right places.

    After a bit of an upset last night, me and OH have spent today planning our wedding. We've decided (possibly) to bring it forward, do it as cheaply as possible and then in a few years when we're in a better financial position redo it...I can't decide whats for the best-I want to be with him, but I want to be happy. Decisions!

    Came out wrong oops. I'm a bit tired and dopey. It just worries me that we'll regret not having something to look back on that was perfect etc. But it would be worth it to be together, its been so hard these past few months with him away. I'd do anything to be with him, I just don't want either of us to have regrets about it. I'm waffling sorry :o

    If you would do anything to be with him, then why would you have regrets? The most important part of a relationship is the other person - not prancing around in funny clothing for a day.

    Well thats what we argued over last night-me taking that approach, him saying he wanted to do it properly. Today he has decided that I was right-its confused me because I didn't expect him to change his mind over night. I'm not used to winning an arguement quite so easily... :rolleyes:

    Great minds... Spooky!

    Lol, spooky indeed!! Have you done any yet? I did my first one yesterday and have got anyone on Wednesday. I'll need to let them know that I work in Edinburgh city centre so I can get ones there as well.

    What have you decided on for the wedding? One of my friends did it on the cheap, not that you would have known. I think she got everything from ebay!

    We're thinking February because thats our 2 year anniversery, which sounds nice. We haven't really planned anything yet, he'll be home in 3 weeks then the planning can begin!
