Another update, this time a bit too early but still close to a year ...
STILL waiting on a permanent job, but I have a three day a week contract line up for next year.
Still not totally debt free but again we have reduced it and it is manageable debt from buying the house. Redoing the house is done, it's taken us 18 months but soooo worth it!
Still not been on holiday but we have been on lots of little breaks away, so I'm happy with that.
Sadly the pregnancy from my last post ended up ectopic, I was really ill and we had to be really careful not to fall pregnant for 6 months due to risk of birth defects ... 6 months later we fell pregnant with our rainbow and I'm 25 weeks tomorrow!
Still no ring in sight but it is on the horizon now, although I don't see it happening before I go back to work after baby.
A year from now I would like to be:
Aiming to get/already got a full time job for the following school year
Back into a good routine of eating well and exercising to lose baby weight
And mostly just happy with our little family - we may even be at a stage to set a date for extending the family as I don't want a big age gap.
Here's my update (a few months too late though ...)
I completed one year teaching, and I am working full time, but not got a permanent job yet sadly!
Debt isn't cleared, and we haven't been on holiday, but we have reduced our debt into much more affordable payments and the expensive credit cards are basically paid, so I am really happy that we only have "worthwhile" debts now!
We bought our house at the start of the year, hence still having debt lol!
There is no ring in sight!
And no baby making date because I just found out I am pregnant, haha! Oh and we got a dog.
It is great to see everyones updates!
I hope to have completed 1 year of teaching and secure a full time permanent job.
I want to have cleared all our debt and then saved enough for a good holiday!
I would like to be making progress towards buying a house.
I would like a ring on my left hand ...
And last but not least - have a firm date for baby making to commence!
