    Thank you Sue, excited would be an understatement!

    The mse energy club switch is now complete, so CB should be through soon. It seemed a lot quicker this time. All interest has been shuffled into savings and hopefully I will get chance to do last month's travel expenses this weekend too.

    I will be making a big vat of chilli for November 5th celebrations with family tomorrow. Should be a cheap night out! Hope everyone has a great weekend :)

    I can't believe the weekend is over already.

    On Saturday I decluttered a wardrobe then we went and drove around an area we are thinking of moving to so we can get a feel for the place. Then we walked the dog near the new field to check out some new routes. We got a bit lost so ended up walking a bit further than planned! Then out to family party in the evening.

    More decluttering and cleaning yesterday, with a ride for some fresh air and to exercise the dog.

    At the moment getting this house ready to sell seems a bit of a mammoth task, we will keep chipping away at it.

    The clocks going back means I keep waking up early as my body clock hasn't adjusted yet. Hopefully it will sort itself out soon.

    I've transferred over last month's travel expenses, as didn't quite get round to it at the weekend. Also CP has been updated, I've got about £55 to exchange for vouchers now. I'm hoping that could maybe be a Christmas present but not sure yet. I'm leaning towards Outfit vouchers for DD2.

    Thank you Jodles, that has really made me smile :D

    We are still keeping an eye on the small things, took a bathroom mirror back today for a refund. We purchased it before we knew we would be selling soon, so back it went!

    We've made it to the weekend! Lots more decluttering planned for this weekend. There is a lot of decorating to be done but we can't crack on as we are waiting for the plasterer first, so I need to feel I am making some progress towards getting this place on the market.

    Also I must complete some more business admin.

    We are out at an event with the dog today but in the way back we are dropping off paperwork to the solicitors so the purchase can progress.

    Thank you KC, event was good and not too much standing around.
    Plenty of decluttering and shredding of paper done over the weekend, as well as getting out in the fresh air.

    Meal plan until the end of the month now complete and shopping ordered.

    I've still got the ll0yds club cinema vouchers so hoping to see fantastic beasts, maybe not this weekend though as I prefer it when it isn't busy!
