    I know nothing more, I just had a quick look on Wendz's wall this morning whilst I was rushing about getting ready and her OH's sister had posted a congratulations message on there, I didn't even see if it was from last night or this morning! Poppy is a really pretty name, looking forward to seeing photos!

    Aw - I'm sure they are over the moon. Am glad Wendz got a couple of weeks to chill out too. I love the name :)

    Meant to say. I passed through the 14k mark on my debt! This is a big thing for me as I can't seem to get below 15k for the last few years. It's also great to have a holiday booked and to know that none of it was put on the credit card :)

    Would be through the 13k mark with OH's relocation as well but with this potential job in Ireland we don't want to pay off 1k on a credit card and then have to pay it off again so will stall on that for a while.

    Well done CMD - quite a way under too! I guess there're advantages whether OH gets the job or not then - either you move home or you pay an extra £1k off the debt - you can't fall off :D

    That's true Tete. I didn't look at it like that!

    Fingers crossed it is the move home option as we wil still be able to overpay on the debts if we lived there :)

    That's really good news CMD, must be fantastic to finally get over that 'block'!

    It's a chap's 40th birthday at work and he's brought in decorate a gingerbread man kits, fun! Of course I was the first one to go over and make one, now everyone wants one!

    Awwh, Poppy is a lovely name. No doubt she's a cutie! Hope she and the baby are doing fine :D

    Congrats on getting under 14k CMD! I did see it on your diary yesterday and meant to comment but I was sneaking on at work and had to dash.

    No worries Cinny!

    Hopefully it will continue to drop asap :)

    Can one of you send me the link to the website of the lists you have been making. I would like to start one.

    It was yummy!

    Work's a bit up and down, some days I feel like I know what I'm doing and I'm busy and quite happy with what I'm doing, other days it's frustrating because things don't work and people are too busy to help and I'm left twiddling my thumbs for hours. I am managing to get more conversation out of them though, I just keep chattering away until someone talks back! ;)
