    hi happy, previous posters are right you'll never be able to afford children, but if you do have the chance to wait till your debt free then thats good, but also dont let the debt make the decision for you 'the debts will still be there when your eggs aren't' , you are still young tho and have plenty of time, i wanted children as soon as i got married but being 21 everyone told me to live my life etc etc before having them, i ended up having ds 3 weeks after i turned 24 then dd 21 months later then ds 3.5 years later, im the youngest mum on the school run by at least 7 years some of them are 14 years older than me, so you still have plenty of time, right im rattling on here and going off on a tangent, what im trying to say is in your heart you'll know when the time is right xxxxxx
    i' met a lot of people on bounty when preg with dd and one of my now best friends in the whole wide world is one of the mums i met on there, and she is actually ds' godmother, when the babies turned 1 we threw a huge party for them and all the mums from all over the country got together in a little village hall in bedfordshire!! see the internet is full of lovely people - we are not all axe wielding nutters!!!!!!!

    He only did it last November! To be honest I can't see me changing my mind, it just sucks a bit when options are taken from you.

    I'm more annoyed that after ten years he still won't marry me!
