Ooohh are you thinking of moving, Baby?
Nice to hear from you Amber How is Spain?! Still haven't found anywhere to live...it's becoming a nightmare. I can't wait to move, though.

Hi Elly I've never been to Wales...OH has, though. I've never been to Ireland or Scotland either. I'm a middle-England girl :rotfl: I hope you have a great time when you go!

Been thinking of moving for about 12 months now. Just a matter of affording it

HopeAndDriftWood

Yeah I'm dreading Spain for that reason...I think we'll be okay, but its still a worry. Will be our first time in a proper place together (we live at his at the moment but its a share). If we find anything that is!

Have you been looking at places?

Oooh and I saw you mentioned you had tablets to help your tiredness now...are they working well? I'm really suffering atm!

Edit: You can just tell me not to be so nosy if you want

Don't be silly! I was on amitriptyline before but they were just making me like a zombie and I got fed up so I am now on nortriptyline, I am still sleeping well and getting decent sleep when I eventually fall asleep but they don't knock me out quite so heavily so I can get up earlier Are you on anything hun?

The tablets work well for the tiredness but not really helping much with the pain, i think its lessened off for now because its warmer but i'm really dreading winter.

We looked at places last year before we got my benefits sorted and fell in love with a couple of places but definitely couldn't afford it back then. We are in a much better position now but have figured that there is no rush and as much as we wanna live together we wanna do it right and not have to struggle. Ideally we would love to buy somewhere but we will never be able to save that amount of money up for a deposit at least not for the next 5 years or so and neither of us wants to be living apart for that long as we both still live with parents, its not like we even have our own place if that makes sense.

Luckily my parents are awesome and don't mind him staying over every night but its still not quite the same, granted better than nothing.

I've been AWOL for a while.

Anyway, my electricity company have decided to up my DD to £94 p/m. Had some spare cash so I just cleared the debt racked up by that horrible winter and hopefully the £94pm will have me in some form of credit by Wnter. All plugs etc have been switched off. Also registered online so I will be providing weekly readings lol. I think thats how the problem started because of an estimated reading.

Debating using some of my savings to pay off my car. Would save £165 pm but I dunno. Hmmmm.

Decided that I will walk to the gym rather than drive and i'm going to try and do more mystery shopping. Gonna do some more ebaying too.

Got to take my baby for his jags later but I am getting a free product for doing a survey - yay!

Just a quick wave I wanted to say good afternoon all

Nikki - in two minds about your savings... maybe you should hang on to it for a little while longer.

Hope baby is okay
