Hello ladies! Wow I have missed you all. In brief, I have had a LOT of internet issues generally at home and log in problems to BaconReader, soooo right now it's laptop only for reddit - I have no idea what the problem is!

I've spent tonight catching up on everyone's news and wanted to share some of mine with you - sorry for the spoilers lol, it's in the title ;) The Mr asked me to be his Mrs on Christmas Day. It was gorgeous, and I cried and said yes!

We've since bought our dream family home (well, he's bought it!) - fast workers! We'll be moving next month and getting married in September. I am ecstatically happy and we're closer than ever.

I started a new job after years as a SAHM, so I work a few days a week in school hours which is great as the kids don't even know I'm gone so it isn't compromising mine and OH's values of me being the FT stay at home parent. I was keen to contribute financially before we move in together although he wasn't bothered either way really and although I earn less than a quarter what he earns, I know I'm contributing in some small way financially so I'm happier. We're both agreed I won't work more than that for the next decade though until the boys are grown.

So yes, just a short sweet post :) hope you are all well and looking forward to contributing more! I have noticed I am a little tetchier lately so hoping being a regular contributor here again will stop that. My IRL friends aren't RP so I value this group!

Love, VV x
