    Thank you:)

    Oh ive just realised ive wrote that wrong! Its WTC ...waiting to conceive baby fund!

    Well the vouchers i made last year i was collecting for when we have a baby, but with the credit crunch and shops closing down. I have decided to sell them and any more i make and instead put the money into a seperate account for baby bits e.g. furniture, buggy etc :)

    Actually im sure it was you who suggested it to me a while back!...thanks Jen;) :D

    No not yet:(....we wish!

    OH's CCJ has ruined our plans a little, we're trying to work round it though. Hopefully if we get the £20k deposit we want, someone will lend to us and we can move out then try:)

    well ideally... £120,000!! lol

    I don't really have a target the more i can save the bigger deposit the less the monthly payments will be
