We are paying for our entire wedding so we have had to change alot!!

I bring lunch every single day - even if it means PB&J :)
Mani's every 2 weeks instead of every week
Pedi's once a month
No shopping
We never eat out anymore
No more shopping
There is alot more but i cant think of it right now!!

CANNOT WAIT FOR NOVEMBER!!!!!

Can I add one more thing..
No more shopping

I CANNOT WAIT FOR OCTOBER!!!!!

I do my nails & toes myself.
We don't eat out anymore.
I bring lunch everyday.
I pretty much stopped shopping for myself...I stay out of the malls all together

We don't really eat out much and we probably go to Blockbuster more than the movies, and definitely have not been able to go clothes and shoe shopping like I normally do. But I know in the end it will all be worth it!

we paid for everything ourselves.
we bought nothing for ourselves for a year.
it $ucked

but now im making up for lost time... ten times over

That's what I like to hear! I can't wait to SPEND again!!!

yup! Im loving it! But, the wedding was totally worth all the sacrifices... honestly, none of those things that you give up can make you feel as good as having your fairy tale day. But, its definatley nice to be able to spend again (and we're enjoying this time now beofre we decide to do the whole house/ kids thing)

I miss:

Travelling

Shopping

Eating out/going out - we only eat out once a week now and that means ordering a pizza or actually going to a restaurant. Plus we don't go out and do stuff, like go to shows, the movies, long drives to tourist type places.

Concerts!!! this is the first year since 1996 that FH and I are not seeing DMB. We are very sad about this, not to mention all of the other concerts we're missing.

I don't get my nails done on a regular basis anymore..
Plus, I think I let my roots grow out a bit too much! I can't wait till I can actually spend $$ on myself again!

I did the same thing! My tips are gone, i go for a manicure once a month and its only 20 for both mani and pedi instead of 60 every two weeks!

Hair, I havent had my hair colored in a YEAR and HALF!!! My mom wanted me to have natural color, honestly I did it because of the money... But I think I want to get my color back before the wedding... dont know how its going to go over!

I also got a second job to help with minor things I need for myself to keep myself sane, I did one of those home based businesses which is a great hobby for me, and is also becoming very very lucrative!

GOOD LUCK ALL!!! 5 months till I get to spend FREELY again!

Same here. I really miss my weekly pedicures. And we don't eat out as much anymore. I really miss the Olive Garden.
