Long Term Mortgage Free Wannabe

Been quietly meal planning while Madam is feeding and we need so little this week, as I am on a massive store cupboard/freezer drive in an effort to economise. This is helped by the fact that my Mum left us with a fairly well stocked fridge, including some nice snacks for assisting with night feeds!
The original plan was my hub Woolf go shopping on Sunday but he said no after we had a really bad night, which turned out well for us as instead we ate leftover quiche, ciabatta and salad lunch, and used up some nice ham in cheese and ham toasties for supper. My MIL and FIL brought cookies and muffins when they came to see madam earlier too. They say having a kid is expensive but so far my experience is that people buy you lots of things! The inlaws brought my husband's Nanny and she brought us £100 for 'baby expenses' bless her! So Sunday was almost an NSD - except we took baby to get weighed at the hospital earlier and so there was a parking charge but only £1.90. Saturday was an NSD. On Friday we treated my folks to fish and chips to say thank you for helping us for the last two weeks. Tomorrow hoping the weekly groceries will be well below £20 though!

Just to clarify my financial goals in order of priority:
1) I need £12000 for my ISA payments (£940/month) and pocket money (£60/month) until I return to work. Currently all my maternity pay is going towards this. Obviously this reduces £1000 each month. Currently I have 4445.92 (37%)
2) £20000 maternity leave fund. This isn't for this maternity leave but for future ones, as ideally we would like 1-2 more children if possible, but saving will be harder in view of the childcare expenses we will have and I may drop a day at work. Currently have £12008.38 (60%)
3) £15000 emergency fund. This is 6/12 living expenses for us. Currently have £5111.47 (34%)

Now I am on mat leave the priority is these goals in this order. Realistically I should be able to do all of 1) and some of 2) as my maternity pay is decent and because I should get a tax refund for 2018/2019 as I am normally a higher rate tax payer by a fair margin but this year I will only just be over, but wil have paid higher rate tax from at least April-August.

When this is sorted...hello over payments!

My brother just called and he found out how much it is !!!55357;!!!56904;. More than expected. So updated financial goals:
1) £12000 for this maternity leave. Will be at 9445.92, so 78.7% of target.
2) £28000 for future maternity leave fund. The original target was £20000 but I decided may as well save all the money for two more leaves. So will be 20000, so 71.4%.
3) £15000 for emergency fund. This will be saved and done 100%.

So need to save/hustle/scrimp for a revised total of 10554.08 this year before we can start mortgage overpayments. We have also agreed to putting some money in a lifetime ISA for retirement (as a guaranteed cash sum vs the more nebulous stocks and shares ISA).

Shop today was £33.91, but that includes 6 days of packed lunch for the hub, and ten days of food for the house, plus a restock of baby supplies! Our month starts on payday which was the 25th this month so we are well on target for our total for the month.
