    Standing orders went out today so have updated my sig. Not far off being under 5k now! Just another couple of weeks to go and it'll be under. Hurrah!

    SUCH an exciting afternoon. Firstly, of course my standing orders have gone out so my sig's been updated. Barclaycard is now £2719.54 and Halifax £327..

    But wait for it... I've only gone and won a Thomas cook competition and we've won a family holiday to Pirates Village hotel in Majorca! I can't believe it! This week has been pretty crappy at work but this has brightened up the week brilliantly. We're so excited!!! :D

    We're doing ok really, for long-time MSE-er, marriage-escapee, mum-of-two, professional money nerds. :rotfl:

    I only just noticed you had a diary on here, even though I have been back here for a few weeks.

    Fab news about the holiday. When are you going to go?
