Mine, sorry its big Photobucket is not working today.

Phew! Long exhale!

I feel your pain. Not only did the brother of an invited guest invite himself but he also rsvp'd (on his brother's invite) for him and a damn guest! I;ve met this guy once, did not like him, and now I am supposed to pay for his meal plus excursions? FI is supposed to be dealing with it...

Brittney, I'm sorry about how stressful things have been. Substance abuse is so hard, have you looked into NA family support groups? If there is one near you, the members will be able to offer support and advice.

My FI has done that to me before, it sucks! I'm sure he's fine. Do we have any girls in Vegas to go pound on his door?

sorry to hear this Amy. The ladies here will take good care of you.

Wow Melissa, you have had a HUGE heart this year! I walk every year for Hospice, they are great. I'm heading to your site now, I really don't know much about MS. Hugs to you and your brother.

Hey guys, any pics from your recent trip to PR?

welcome Melissa! You will find lots of good information and help here!

Welcome Emily, my best friend lives in Denver!

Congratulations!

Welcome Naz! 700 guests?! WOW!

Welcome Lisa!

Welcome! OMG, another PR bride?! Finally! Amber, you are my new best friend!

Welcome! I am getting married on 6/26 of this year.

Welcome Valerie!

Speaking of babies, I signed up on the Pampers and Huggies websites and received tons of coupons including free wipes offers and diaper samples plus those point thingies for free toys ( I think that was pampers)

Maria, are your recordings still available for purchase? I was a grumpy cheerleader (would only smile when competing) I have always been a single mom since I got pregnant in college and he couldn't deal My FI and I live two hours apart I have four cats and a cat fish, my only male cat is named Satan My mom called me Dumbo and was very happy when I grew into my ears

Ok, what else do I do? I use my tea bags or leaves twice. I don't pay for makeup. Whenever I need something new I host a party (Body Shop or Mary Kay) for the free stuff, always stop by the makeup counters at the mall during sample give-aways and also utilize free-bates through Rite-Aid or Eckerd's. I havn't had to "buy" toothpaste or Fructis products in over a year because of free-bates. I check online for the monthly flyer and plan from there for when I have coupons. During the summer I also stop by the farmer's market right before closing time and bargain with the farmers. They don't want to load produce back onto thier trucks and will often go 1/2 off or better, sometimes even free. One farmer got so used to me he gave me a pumpkin for my daughter and half a bushel of apples.

We also use the library, FI gets alot of books on cd this way. I have found that using an online savings account, like HSBC, helps me save my savings. The money is automatically deducted from my checking and it is too many steps for me to access it unless I really need it. We don't use an ATM machine. Cash is taken out bimonthly and when its gone, oh well.

Packing lunches - and also buying larger sizes and dividing them up into smaller portions (rather than buying the convenience size). Also, make sure your utilities/cable/internet/cell phone are the best available packages - no point in paying for 3,000 minutes on the phone when you only use 1/2 that! Buy a water heater blanket at home depot and turn down the temp even more! We go out for dessert, not the full meal when we do go out. My daughter gets her hair cut at the local beauty school. Once in a while, for a treat I"ll get my nails or a facial done at the same school for over 50% savings.

Welcome to the forum!

welcome Kim!

Welcome Michelle and congratulations!
