    Debt-free and Proud!
    Wowee. It has just taken me an hour and a half to catch up on one day. Stop reminiscing so much will ya??!! ;)

    I'm now off work until Tuesday. Sitting here enjoying a Tesco value mousse before I get started on a craft project for the hen do tomorrow. Not normally one to leave things to the last minute but I wasn't expecting to be working this week :rotfl:

    It should hopefully be a bit of an MSE one (but not too much, want her to feel spoilt). I'm making her present, bringing her the last big box of thorntons I have- clubcard vouchers to get prosecco and the lovely purpledonkey has given us a free stay at the Hilton in Kensington :eek: We're going out for all you can eat sushi so I'll have to pay for that, more booze and travel. Everything else sorted :D
