What is Dithering Mum (soo much nicer than Mrs Dither don't you think) doing towards this?
I did kind of wonder about how to name my OH and came up with Mrs. Dither because Mrs. Dad sounded a bit odd.
Dithering Mum works part time at a college and is hoping to get a few extra hours from September. Her main contribution though is to take care of our little girl who has dyspraxia. One of my main motivations for the POYM is so that when the time comes, we can afford to send our little one to private school. We want her to have as many educational advantages as we can possibly give her. Dithering Mum also spends a lot of time teaching 'lil one to count, read etc.
I'm actually starting to fill up at the thought of my special girls, so will leave it thereMortgage Free in 3 Years (Apr 2007 / Currently / Δ Difference)

Sounds like some kind of a plan. The common sense elements of this are, well, common sense and should be taken anyway but don't relieve yourself of a bit of manageable debt and then do yourself in with all that physical exertion and pointless and possibly unachieveable targets. Get it in perspective, nothing wrong with debt in the right measure.
Good luck, don't kill yourself0 -
