    Good to see you Kayleigh. If you go to this link you can make a ticker and save it to favourites. At the end of the process it gives you the code to paste in here for the ticker to show up. If you want any help just let me know!

    Thanks Chris. I'm liking the virtual housewarming idea!! Might be a few months as I'm staying in rental with OH while we look for new place together. Hopefully will be having my house sold party at the end of the month.

    Trying to find the energy to do a bit more packing- I have a pretty horrific cold!

    Another £250 paid to debt today. Not going to do quite so well this month as having to spend out on removals and storage.

    According to the estate agent the buyers want to exchange next Friday and complete at end of month. Haven't heard from solicitors though. Will have to try and find time to call them and check what's happening.

    Oooohh, can I come to the virtual party too please?!
    You're doing great with your payments Jellie, you should feel so pleased with yourself. Hope you are getting on ok with the packing etc - just try packing one drawer/box or something a day and you will soon get it done. And you're right, it is very stressful moving, but it will be so worth it in the end. I remember when we moved (a long time ago), we were carrying a wardrobe downstairs (yip absolutely mad), of course I wasn't doing it right and I really thought at that moment we were going to get a divorce! LOL. But we are still here many years later and often laugh about that now!
