    He bikes to and from work at the moment but that was my point, if he gets into the FS and is driving 100 miles, he'll need a reliable car to be able to do that....

    My SOA at the moment feels too much like a scary thing to do..... LOL because i know its not pretty.....i'll put it down to shame....

    No-one is here to judge you. Don't put it down if you don't want to but I am worried that although you have your head screwed on about general finance side of things, you might be burying your head a bit(just a tinchy bit - which I do myself) about what will happen when you finish work.

    Maybe it would be a good idea to do an SOA for yourself and DH's eyes only and take some time to digest that.

    I hate the unexpected larger bills. I never budget properly for them.

    Are you excited about your move up North? I am excited about my move as my tenants are doing my head in - well the male one! He seems to have taken over the sitting room (my couch and TV) and I feel uncomfortable watching TV down there, not that I get much of a chance as he is usually there. But when he comes back he usually comments on what I am watching and hovers until I tell him he can change it.
