Hi guys - I'm celebrating big time tonight since my plans of the last two years have all come together this week!

A bit of background - I've been stuck in my flat for the last NINE years (owned it for 12 years, but wanted to sell for last nine), because of a nasty dispute with the freeholder over subsidence, damp etc. Because of that - and since DS was born in Jan 2001 (when we had to move out for 20 months and pay to live in another flat too) I've been in massive debt and had to plough on in the crappiest, (but sadly relatively well-paid) nasty job on the planet being bullied by a really unpleasant a***le boss.

Well, yesterday, I exchanged contracts on my flat (completion next Thursday) banking loads of cash, rented the house of my dreams, got an offer on the PGCE course in the institution of my dreams (following my interview on Monday), and JACKED in the job TODAY - hoorah. Life suddenly feels SOOOOOOO good!

Thanks everyone! Beetroot - DP and I drank two bottles of champagne last night, and I've felt pretty woozy all day today! I'm afraid I couldn't look a glass in the eye tonight...

I forgot to add that I've still got to work til the end of July - but I don't really care now!
