First off, congratulations to my lovely friend Clare who got married on Sunday – she looked amazing!
Secondly, I am writing this article at ten to one in the morning, having just finished writing up 5 articles for work. I am extremely chipper for this time of night and this is for a variety of reasons.
These past few weeks have seen both me and Steve take a step back and really assess our finances and see just how realistic we are being when it comes to giving ourselves enough time and money to plan our wedding. Although I especially have been focused on saving money and paying debts where possible (even starting KOS!), Steve has been a little reluctant. However, this all seems to have changed.
I have been getting frequent writing work and it is often well paid too. Steve, as I have mentioned before, recently got a promotion and he is, in fact, at an interview sometime today for an even higher position. This position is much better pay and closer to home meaning that not only would Steve be earning more but he’d also be saving more when it came to petrol! Steve had also been stuck on emergency tax since he started the job in May – he has now finally started to see some of it trickle back in which has come at just the right time! Our car has been off the road for a while now and we have been using my MIL’s car in the interim. Whilst it is good for getting Steve to work, it is quite tiny and also guzzles petrol like there is no tomorrow – so Steve is getting the car sorted once and for all.
We have also cut down on all manners of items – Steve managed to halve his phone bill and actually get unlimited everything compared to the caps he had on the more expensive bill! Our internet is cheaper now and we even managed to get our utilities down too!
Just writing this down is making me feel so positive about where my life is heading. We may finally get to start properly planning the wedding in 2014 and hopefully this series can reach its full potential!
What changes have you made this week?
