It was bound to happen sooner or later!
I am really delighted that my ‘little girl’ Jade has got engaged to Andy with plans to get married next Summer.
I was slightly suspicious in the week when Andy text me to ask if I would be in Starbucks later on Monday afternoon. Although I am often in Starbucks, I wasn’t planning on doing so. We made plans to meet the next morning (I am often in Starbucks in the morning!) The plan was to discuss Andy learning to play squash.
And that’s how the conversation started!
But it didn’t finish there – he asked if I would mind if he asked Jade to marry him. I said yes.
12 hours later so did she.
Now the race is on to sort the venue et al.
I was going to blog this on Wednesday but was forbidden from doing so. I had to wait for all of the family to be told properly!
So there we are, I will now be officially broke. Happy – but broke!

Congratulations to all!
Many thanks….
Congratulations to Jade and Andy on their engagement
