If only every day were like today, in terms of progress. We'd be debt-free philanthropic millionaires in no time! 
OK, all four mortgage payments hit:
US: $278 to principal
UK #1: $255 to principal
UK #2: $54 to principal
UK #3: $56 to principal
In total, I paid off $643 of debt. Just $757 to go to meet our May goal.
I transferred $120 into our savings account for AS's retirement (it won't earn much there, but I'm saving up to open a Roth for her.) Also, I transferred the remaining UK checking account balance to UK savings (that account is going to hold some of the money for the baby/emergency fund). 45 pounds, which translates in my accounting method to $90 (bringing our EF to $3044.07). So I saved $210 today, and I still need to save $1490 to reach my May savings goal.
Also, the $25 check to the cancer research charity hit my checking account, so I have met my (admittedly unambitious) philanthropy goal.
I asked AS to pick up some supplies for my crop art when she's at the fabric store today, so hopefully I'll be able to get started on that this weekend. (Plus I already have everything I need to make the necklaces.)
Tomorrow we're going to a green-living expo, where we can hopefully research low-flow shower options, and we're also going to a crafts show, where maybe I can get some ideas for my June craft goal.
May progress!!!
