    Good luck. :) Wishing a trouble free delivery for both mother and baby.

    As for the investments, I wouldn't say now is the time to be thinking about it, enjoy the sleepless nights ahead. ;)

    Wonderful news Ed. Hope all is going well and wishing you much joy in the years ahead x
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
