Oh crumbs!

I now have even more incentive to clear as much debt as possible as quickly as possible! It turns out i am 11 weeks pregnant. :o

I had originally planned to clear half my debts by the time i turned 30 (some of you may remember me saying that, but i haven't posted here for ages!), I'm going to have to do my sums and work out what i can keep paying and what budget i will need when the baby comes.

I really don't want to still have this debt round my neck when my child is at an age when he or she will want to do fun stuff and I want to be able to say "yes we can do that" etc.

So, here's to getting rid of that albatross and having fun with my baby!!!:T

Wish me luck!
