We OP the mortgage every month and just pay down the CC's and loan that have interest on them. The car loan is a bit of a fixed payment by choice until we get rid of the CC's. The 0% CC only has the minimum paid off every month though (although I need to still update the total for that on my sig).
Nothing special has happened, just think time is finally starting to make things happen.
However, I am spending less on food (oddly) and heating than I was 12 months ago. Fuel for my commute to work is going up and up though. Hopefully, I'll be able to ignore that from the end of July for a while though. 
I'm still putting £100 into my ISA every month, tutoring (only one client by choice) and exam marking during Feb and May/June to bulk up my cash stash. It's taking a while but my bank account is now into credit....although the car is due a big service and since I crashed it...I expect my credit to disappear.

Went to the hospital yesterday and heard babies heartbeat which was lovely. A few bumps along the way which mean I'm back at the hospital at 28 weeks to decide what monitoring is necessary, but we shall see.
Updated all figures because I won't have access to the internet over the holidays - so thought I'd get it done now. Although some payments like loans and cc's haven't all come out yet so leaving those bits as is and will update later.
