    Popping in to say hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :)
    Not flown, but have had 2 hours of personal shopper help at Debenhams (used vouchers and £ from old job leaving pressies) Have come home with outfits a size smaller than usual - got told off for hiding my curves! And the lovely lady looking after me put everything through the till at 20% off cos they have a daily mil voucher deal on atm, even though I had no vouchers! She also swapped a few more expensive items for cheaper ones and told me where to get almost identical ones in other shops so I could get more for my money (not sure she's supposed to do that lol!) Feel about 10 feet tall, gorgeous and slim and ready to be 40 now yay!

    Adam's arm completely better now too - woohoo
    Mortgage £119,533 going down slowly
