It's December! :j :j
My favourite month of the year, and I'm so looking forward to this year with DS in the mix. I know he's too young to know what Christmas is but I think he'll like the lights on the Christmas tree, plus he's a very social boy so lots of people for cuddles when we visit various family members
In mortgage news, our mortgage is now £99,690
5 figures! Woooop! It's a bit sad how pleased I am about that; we're still in a lot of debt, after all
but, it all of a sudden seems much more manageable
we're not going to do much of an OP this month, as I'm now just on statutory maternity pay, so our household income is vastly reduced
but we'll continue to plod along 
DS has woken up....

Well done SF, we got to within £2k of 5 figures before moving house, I imagine it would have felt great. Just think how big the buzz will be when your investments get to 6 figures and you've next to no mortgage left! :T0
