    Currently full of the cold and not feeling very alive. Oldest is watching tv looking very heavy eyed and youngest is still in bed!! We went to look at houses yesterday, I like quite a few of them but the homes in the area I thought I wanted I did not like. Very disappointing.

    Freebie scratches (10p)
    checked online banking
    roasted meat for tea this evening

  • Sorry everyone! I thought I'd told the whole world :D Put down a reservation fee on a house over the weekend and now have to sell mine. Will be totally realistic with an asking price - got such a great deal on the new place that the pressure on the price I need to get for me is much less than it could have been.

    Fingers crossed! If it all works out, I should be about £300 a month better off and if I get more than my worst case scenario for mine, enough of a lump sum that I'll be able to pay off my last £3K of credit card debt too. Anything above worst-case would be great rainy day money! Angelflower, will be all mine. No shared ownership and no shared responsibilities - just me rattling around a 4 bed house with the cat. Ha ha! The more I say it, the dafter it sounds!

    Could be great, could be crap - let's see! :eek:
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    Hi Everyone

    New week - new DFW challenges!!!!!

    I'm out for dinner with friends tonight so it won't be an NSD but it'll be a good night out.

    I'm not sure how much time I'll have but I will try to do/have done the following:
    • Read a chapter of my text book in time for Thursday's class
    • No spend on breakfast, lunch or snacks - I have brought all my food in.
    • Check bank accounts.
    • Flylady tasks for Monday
    • Print off some lecture notes from VLE.
    • Parcel up some used stamps to give to a friend for a charity she collects for.
    Have a great Monday everyone.
