    Absolutely elated, and quite emotional actually! I'm filling up a bit!

    I feel like life has been on hold a bit, and I'm so excited about moving on. Champagne tonight to start it off! :beer:

    Don't blame you - think I'd be a mix of non-stop smiling and trying not to cry!

    I know exactly what you mean as well - I feel like life has been on hold to a certain degree too so the feeling of freedom you have now must be overwhelming :)

    Well done again! :T You have worked so hard and that champagne is well deserved!

    It was so much fun! And the Champagne was great.

    Thanks GAP - savings start in the New Year. We've decided to have some fun and are looking to book a holiday soon.

    You'll be here so soon Beccie - and it feels awesome!
