I did think about getting a motorbike but the new test put me off!!
Well done on the money for yours CB.
SH- I'm working on OH to hold off and then not go too crazy!!
Another £200 into savings today. The people we are buying the house from have had an offer accepted on a property with no chain. We did our mortgage application today and solicitor appointed and surveyor too- OH has been very busy getting everything sorted so quick. He is amazing!!2019 fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons0 -

Everything still going in the right direction with the move. The survey has been done and nothing major showed up. Minor things aren't problematic. Mortgage valuation happens this week and draft contracts are already with solicitor.
Still saving every penny I can for the moving costs etc.2019 fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons0 -

Hi SH.
Everything is still fine with the house sale. Went over today to check what they were leaving etc. and to measure up for curtains.
I'm still saving every penny I can so that is going well for now!
