    Morning!
    A couple of updates from me...

    WE paid Mr P's CC in full last Friday and tomorrow we pay my folks off in full!
    YAY!

    All I will have left then is my credit card and £200 on my old account (free) overdraft.

    I am (from tomorrow) going to be sub £1,000 in debt! How exciting!

    Exciting too is my birthday...

    I had a wobble at the beginning of the week about turning 30, but gave myself a good talking to!

    Mr P is taking me away for the night on Sunday (birthday is Monday) but I don't know where... it's all a big surprise!

    We went out with Mr P's work mates for dinner last night and his boss got very drunk and said 'didn't you guys just get engaged?'

    As it happens, another work friend in the office (who was there last night) got engaged last weekend and he had just been telling another team member how he proposed.

    So I think he got us confused with the other couple... :D
    ha ha ha!

    I hope all is well with everyone!
    lots of love,
    Little Pickle
