    :hello: Snaggles, just want to say Happy Christmas to you :) you've done amazing this year, and I hope 2008 is just as big-a-success as this one has been! have a great day xx
    Just been reading back through and realised I didn't reply to this, sorry. In some ways it doesn't feel like we've made much progress financially this year, but the good thing is that I've had a baby, had 12 months off work (well, by April I will have), and we have no more debt now than we did 12 months ago, plus we have our lovely camper sitting on the driveway! :j

    I think sometimes you do have to find a balance between becoming debt free and having a bit of a life, and I feel like we have struck that balance quite well this year. 2008 is the year we are hoping to be debt free though, so no more sitting at home cuddling babies or buying expensive things for me, lol!!

    Hope you had a lovely Xmas SF!

Your pictures are lovely, and Nat looks SO adorable in that hat! and I love the hamper idea, might have to show my mum that and hope she'll take a hint! ;) have a relaxing day today :)

    Loving the pics Snags, yup I think you're one of the few DFWs who have a good balance going, the rest of us are just nuts with no social lives :rotfl:
