Little Pickle and her Little Pocket

Hello all,

Well, it's been a very good few months since I last wrote here.

I have come so far since then that it's hard to know where to start - but I'll give it a shot..

I got a new job - 17K payrise
Mr P got new job - he had a payrise too...:D
Mr P and I decided to hold off on the house buying - bad market - but we move to our own rented place on the 1st weekend of August (no more flatmates - yay!)

So we are as happy as pigs in poo!

I still have a little bit of debt left, but the payrise should help with that!

What I still owe:

Credit card - got a few gig tickets here and there - £289.24
Barclays - still owe back my interest free buffer - £241.00
Mum & Dad - still owe them - £1,250.00
TOTAL - £1,780.00

That's not too bad and I should be done and dusted in a couple of months!
yay!

Watch this space!!!

Hey LP :hello:

Just wanted to say congratulations to you and Mr P on your new jobs. And a big congrats on the huge payrise :j :T :beer:

I bet thats going to be a great feeling to be in your own rented place.

Anyway, that was it really, just a big Congratulations all round.

Well done you!!

thats quite a turnaround, although you may need to change the title to big pockets to carry all that extra loot!:D

Thanks all for your congrats!!!

Have been super busy - new job is really fast paced - I'm loving it!

We have a trip to Canada and our move to our new place to deal with before I can continue making any real head way - but by 2nd week of Aug, I should be pounding away at the remainder!

love to all
