interesting thread

2005-6: girls in nursery and school, me on sabbatical at f-t uni
2006: return to work, same employee different job, either more specialist or more senior , or both.
2007: (ish) finish paying off mortgage
2008: (ish) dh gives up high flying, his turn to go back to uni, possibly combined with us moving out of London and me getting a new job, or going freelance, or working from home perhaps commuting into the office 1 day a week.

No firm plans but loosely:
try for baby number 2 ~in the next 18 months or so,
Begin midwifery training when both babies are settled in school.

have another baby
pay off debts
sell house
move to belgium

move house without too much stress
settle kids into school,especially DD
Settle well in new area
Ensure Ds3 is healthy and happy and settled at a good nursery by 2007.
settled in a good,fulfilling career by 2007-may have to change careers!

2008
