    Although it will be very expensive, it will be worth it!!

    Well done on getting debt free, it's funny how the prospect of an expanding family can spur you on.

    I have a one year old boy at the moment with another on the way. They are the best!!

    Is this your first?

    Congrats to you. I think you should go on the roll of honour, does not matter how you pay off your debt (unless you had to kill for it of course!), you should feel proud, paying off debts. Many happiness to you and your family, you deserve to be happy.

    Well done.

    However you have still been here with us, and you give us a little hope that maybe some luck will fall our way. It always makes me smile to actually hear of real people getting a break like this .. I think you deserve that spot as much as any of us xx

    Btw congratulations on the imminent arrival, and I hope you all get to have a lovely break away with some of the leftovers from the £25k :A
