    Just to update...
    1. Not to incur any further debts while on maternity leave - we did go back into debt sightly but that's gone again now
    2. Celebrate Christmas for free in 2008 - nearly, 90% free
    3. Begin savings for emergencies, holidays etc - yup, we started, then OH was made redundant in november so that's sort of on hold.

    Thanks and well done - especially with regards to the last target, what an achievement. Any new targets for this year to post on the new thread?
