Clearmydebts - new chapter to becoming debt free before moving home

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your OH, it sounds like you really need to be with your family. Its not nice hearing that you're looking unwell and feeling lacklustre. Look after yourself and your lovely babies.

Oooh,fingers crossed for your OH to get the job. That would be just perfect. It would be lovely for you to be a SAHM, so hope it all comes together!

Thanks Tir - I just really want to move home now. I think I have paid my dues. I moved out 17 years ago!

Thanks Birdie. I appreciate you posting in here x

To be fair since OH has gotten notice of this job, and since my own job improved, I have been feeling a bit better. I just really hope he gets it.

Paid some off my RBS card. It is beginning to really annoy me and I can't wait to get rid of it. The interest is really high and they never off a balance transfer on it. I know I have to get rid of the Virgin card first but I think that is the one I will concentrate on next.

OH got a response from the job. They said they want him to provide a more detailed CV. He is going to work on that this weekend and his friend (that works in that company) gave him so tips.

It is so tempting to cash in his 1K relocation money and pay some money off the RBS card but we need to keep it, for the moment....

Hope everyone is having a great Easter!

Hi CMD sounds good re the job! Really hope it works out for you all and you get to go home. Well done on the payment too!

Yes we've had a lovely day - a friend did a free photo shoot for us to cheer us up which was lovely! We also got a bit of a walk in the countryside as we decided to go for outdoor shots. I also got to cuddle a 4 month old baby....

Sounds like a lovely day SavingH!

We had a lovely day yesterday. Our friends came around (5 of them) for dinner and myself and OH made lasagne and a big ham. We had home-made sherry trifle for dessert and my friend also brought some dessert as well.

It was just a lovely, relaxed day. Max was thrilled to be centre of attention as he was the only baby. He is such a smiley, sociable little baby. We are lucky he can adapt so well.

They all left at around 11pm and myself and Oh were shattered!

OH needs to enhance his CV tonight so I need to give him a hand with that so it is in first thing tomorrow. I really hope something comes of it.

Thanks SavingH!

Had a lovely weekend and spent yesterday evening trying to unpack some of our boxes from the move and declutter generally. OH is driving me nuts at the moment. He is great with Max and cleaning the flat but he leaves everything else to me. So I have to sort out all bills, admin things, organisation of holidays, booking of flights home etc etc. It prob doesn't sound much but I also look after Max, work part-time, food shopping, meal planning, clean the house, do all the laundry and am pregnant!

We have lost a grip on our finances lately as I have taken my eye off the ball. We have a really busy May and June and I can't see us being unable to dip into our credit cards

I have been doing AQA as I have slipped on that and have made £50 so far this month so am hoping to use that to pay off some of the Virgin credit card. I want to be able to clear that by the end of June. That will mean another credit card is gone and I can concentrate on getting rid of my RBS one, which is really bugging me.
