    Budget blown slightly - I'm keeping both dresses :) One is a size smaller than the other, but a nicer colour, so ideally I want to diet/slim into that one; the second in the larger size will be kept in reserve.

    Total spend so far: £114.

    Have you considered what music you might like to have played? They asked for 3 or 4 songs .. one for entering, one for exiting and potentially 2 for register signing. .. it depends on which service you have, they offer three here. Here they have an archaic sound system so it has to be on proper CD's rather than MP3 on your ipod... best to check before hand... though I'm sure it will be more modern there.

    Tesco clubcard points can be exchange for goldsmiths vouchers (if you have a shop closeby).. £5 in vouchers gets you a £15 goldsmith voucher you can't use the vouchers online but if you just wanted a really cheap wedding ring this might be a good deal.

    Operation "slim to fit the nicer dress" is underway ... not helped by Marley making a huge dish of rice pudding :D

    I have very few Tesco points to exchange these days but I will check Goldsmiths to see whether they have anything suitable (aka suitably priced), thanks.

    Budget is going to have to increase slightly as Marley does not fit either part of his existing suit, so it's time to go shopping.

    Have booked the "licence" part of the Register Office visits for a couple of weeks' time. Haven't thought at all about music, that's something we are likely to decide in the last couple of weeks.

    code 'EXTRA10' on sale stuff gets 10% off and there is 10% cashback through quidco too... but you cant use clubcard vouchers online. I'm such a sorry state I do like to check the pretties ;)

    I’m a bit jealous. Your budget is going to be way smaller then mine.

    My partner will not let me get married with just two witnesses. He may allow it to be just a few at the register office and then a big party though. I’m a bit hopeful.

    Ah, you need to convince him out of the big party ;) I guess it depends how big, and how close, a family you have. In our case we only have small numbers of close family; and our friends will be attending stag/hen do's (at their own expense) so there's no need for a second party.

    No update as have been poorly. On the bright side, I've spent no wedding money either :D
