I’m so glad you liked the story about the Family Smudge!

I LOVE your goals and your website is such a smart way to track them. Keeping goals front and center is so helpful to not getting off course.

Hm, maybe I should start a similar plan…

And just one clarification. Didn’t mean to imply that you should have a better job because you should be doing your current job. That’s just a shortcut to thinking.

I say do what you want, do it well and do it for as long as you think it makes sense.

Take care,

We are still saving what we can (and feel very thankful that we can at least for now do that) and will make the next payment when we are feeling more confident that it will be the right move. It is more difficult though with the gas and eec prices so high!<br/><br/>You will get there and so will we! It might just take a little bit longer than we anticipated that's all!

Have you considered looking on
ebay?

There’s loads of pvc windows in the link…

I remember Lizzies post where she showed us her ebay windows!

I don’t know how easy it would be but even if you paid a local handyman to fit it it would save you a lot….

Just a thought!

Other than that, I hope you get back on track soon,
I know you will :)
