    Are you TT to your baby fund or mortgage?

    It can't be tragic; I'm the same and I don't want to be tragic.

    Then it's officially all kinds of cool! :cool::D

    Tt to baby fund. I will be a mortgage free wannabe one day though. Hopefully in a few years once baby has happened and family paid back (it was for house repairs - we had dry rot).

    Hope you're having a good weekend.

    So in the month of April I have added a total of £623.27 to the baby fund! :j

    That does include the £150 and £186 posted about upthread.

    So pleased!! I real feel like we are getting there now, over halfway to target.

    Pay day :j

    Last month's overtime and regualr standing orders have been added to baby fund.

    I have updated signature and have £3650.81 to go.

    Feel like I am making some real progress.

    I am doing some overtime this month as well so will hopefully have another decent month.

    Thanks for this thread - it's so helpful to see how it is going.

    Take care all :)
