She hasn't seemed to twig how I've managed to do that on one wage while paying a mortgage.<BR/><BR/>Good set of posts. I'm diving back in for the next one.

I choose to stay at home with our 3 month old daughter. Our income isn't great and we have little room for extras but it is truly enough and I wouldn't trade the time with our children for anything - to me that is simple living at its best! Yes we could get a plasma screen TV or a new car or invest more if I had a job...but then I would miss my daughter rolling over, laughing, and smiling for the first time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073167998075190001.post-75020530468903372692007-08-09T21:37:00.000+09:302007-08-09T21:37:00.000+09:30I too am really enjoying reading about your Journe...I too am really enjoying reading about your Journey :D looking forward to the next instalment too!Lishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00066863074405512584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073167998075190001.post-69153175091848209782007-08-09T20:14:00.000+09:302007-08-09T20:14:00.000+09:30Glad you're enjoying it Ali. :-) To be honest, I'...Glad you're enjoying it Ali. :-) To be honest, I'm really enjoying reviewing the process as well.
