How exciting! We've not had a baby for ages, fingers and toes crossed.
Chip away at raising a small EF, build on it each month. All you can do is keep spreading the money across everything, it will take longer but they'll all grow.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.2 -

You'd better start knitting a few squares in the new year as there's a couple of blankets needing to be made.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.2

Hi Everyone,
Happy New year
Its been a while since I posted but things have changed a little with the treatment being a lot sooner than anticipated for a few reasons but age being one. I was expecting to have to wait a few months for an initial apt but got in quicker than I thought and had some blood tests today. I have another appointment on Thursday so things are moving fast which is good in one way but I am working on my money situation to afford it at the same time. I will know more about timings on Thursday and when things need to be paid.
Oh is going to get some quotes for the building work needed for the BTL... Who knows what that might cost.
My has just started getting free hours at preschool which will be a welcome help.
