The Reason for our LB moment has arrived - and its a beautiful baby boy!!!!

Hello all,

I just thought I'd do a quick post to let you know that on Good Friday I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy who we've called Daniel Scott weighing 7lb 9ozs. He is the reason which gave us our LB moment and so we have a lot to thank him for.

I am so happy and just to add the icing on the cake our bank statement came in today and instead of usually being overdrawn each month by the tune of about £800 now we have paid off most of our credit cards we have a balance of over £1,000 left this month!!!

Yipee fish and chip supper it is tonight then.

    Don't forget to cut up the cards and send them back cancelling the accounts, as this makes your credit score better.
    And congratulations on your lovely boy
