  • For me:

    1. Pay off any remaining household debt in DH's name (we're both paying off our own CCs currently as well as contributing to the normal household budget).
    2. Then save buffer into bank preferably 3-6 months salary.
    3. Have baby no 2 (fingers crossed). And return to work PT instead of FT.
    4. Re-decorate just the rooms which need it.
    5. Change career so I can drop off and pick up children from school when they start. (nursery and MILs currently 8am - 6pm!)
    6. Over-pay the mortgage.

    :eek: That all seems like a tall order, I need to do some serious forward-planning :rotfl:
