    Congratulations on the addition to the family! Having become a great-aunt recently I know it's such an exciting time (and like you, 'how can I be old enough'?! - even though I'm older than you :D).

    The cruise sounds really exciting too - it would be wonderful if most of it could be paid off before you go, so all you return to are happy memories. You could keep up this diary rather than starting a new one - lots of people do, though it's nice to start afresh when you owe nothing.

    By the way, love your going-debt-free advice! :D

    Another fan of your going-debt free advice!:rotfl:

    Congratulations as well on becoming a grand-ma! Shame they don't run those Glamorous Granny contents anymore - you could enter and build up some winnings (mind you they might still be in existence somewhere!)

    Cruise sounds exciting as well. :j

    Re. the diary - once I cleared my debt I started a new one to take into account my run up to retirement. When I retire I'm thinking of starting a new one all about living on my pensions! Still, as Cherry writes, you could just carry on with this one - doesn't really matter either way.
