I’ve had a bit of blogging block recently. You probably haven’t noticed because I have been heavily relying on scheduled posts. When I say blogging block, I have got lots to write about but I just haven’t been motivated to sit in front of a TV screen – especially when Steve isn’t on nights as I want to spend some time with him once Jack has gone to bed.
However, here I am back again at 3pm on Wednesday, hurriedly putting up a (late) Wedding Planning Wednesday post again.
Don’t get worried, nothing has happened between Steve and me – it is just that the dates we had in mind aren’t really viable right now. If our financial situation did a complete turnaround, then it would be great but I would have less than a year to plan and believe me, I don’t think I could handle that much pressure!
However, things DO seem to be looking up. Steve has recently taken a promotion, he is waiting for a tax rebate and we are probably selling our car. You may not know but at the moment we are using Steve’s mums car. Our car has been in the garage for a couple of months because the engine is screwed and we just don’t have the money to replace the engine right now. We are probably selling to the garage then buying Steves mums car off her (she was about to sell it when we borrowed it) and then hopefully pick up a decent but cheap family car in the not too distant future – the car we are using is great and all but it is quite small for our needs and guzzles petrol like no other!
I have also been having some luck with my freelance work and am still selling bits and bobs on local Facebook selling pages here and there. Whilst it isn’t a great amount, every little helps towards the wedding fund! I am also currently using sites like Swagbucks (find my referral code here) and similar to build up my points into some Amazon or Paypal giftcards for Christmas presents – I am doing well so far!
How is your wedding planning coming along? Whilst I haven’t been doing as much ‘planning’ recently, I have definitely been doing a lot more background work which is just as essential, right?

Oh no!!! I'm sorry you've had to put your date back, I can't believe how expensive weddings are! Get on the sponsored posts, that'll help you to save up 🙂
Haha!x
Dun dun dunnnn that's one ominous X! But bright side putting it back means more time to plan your perfect day 🙂 x
Yeah I hope so x
Ahhh we had the same problem and opted to get married on a Sunday instead (ok if you want a civil ceremony) saved us a few pennies too……although they did get spent elsewhere haha!

If I can plan my wedding in 6 weeks so can everyone else :o) x

Not with no money 😛
My now husband and I had to set our date back a few times. We were engaged for a little over 2 years and we just recently got married on September 21st. It's tough planning, that's for sure, but the wait is totally worth it! 🙂

I hope so 🙂
My partner and I only last night did we sit down properly and discuss our wedding, at present there is just too much to do and think about and spend on that am thinking maybe moving it back might not be such a bad idea. I know exactly how you feel and am sure things will start looking up for you real soon.
Sending you some love from the "I love my post blog-hop" – am co-hosting.
thank you x
Sorry you have to change the date, but you will get there in the end! Enjoy the wedding planning, it must be so exciting
it is x
