    Morning all,

    I haven't been around for a while as my g/f gave birth to a baby girl on 22nd July, and I have been getting my hands dirty and no sleep ever since! (Oh the joys of parenthood!). This challenge may get a little trickier with having to juggle around her maternity pay a lot more, but we managed to save a few grand (away from this challenge) that is hers to dip into, so hopefully it won't affect us that much.

    Updated my sig.....
