Took the words out of my mouth! You're doing well to pay anything off at all with such a busy month so don't beat yourselves up! Glad you didn't get stuck under the Channel again!

Am loving the strikes. Lol!!!

Have you moved in yet, or are you getting all your furniture in first?

Well, sticking with the theme, bed gets delivered tomorrow so we'll be staying over from then, but until all our stuff is in I don't think I'll feel 'moved in' - books etc staying at dad's till I get some shelves, that sort of thing... Got the sofas and table and chairs in now though, they're fab, I especially love the gorgeous oak table

Brilliant - you are a quick mover when you get going!

Are you really excited?

It was my naughty OH, I think he panicked that we had no furniture whatsoever and went out and had a spree, getting table and chairs, sofas and a bed and mattress all at once! I am excited, I love the house and the village, we can hear the church bells chiming, it's lovely. Does anybody know if church bells are allowed to chime throughout the night?! :undecided

Is the link still up for your house, if so can you PM me as I would love a look! I fdon't think the bells can chime all night but I think they can start quite early in the morning.

Another £4 off my store cards as they deducted a delivery charge (at my request!).

Was awake last night for quite a while thinking about how stupid we have been with money. I have decided that is the last time I will think of it and from now on I am just going to be better with money.

It all helps though! Yes try not to think about it, there's nothing you can do now. Focus on you plan of action and your plans to move home.

I think that's a good idea CMD. Look forward, not backwards! You know what you've done wrong, there's no point beating yourself about it all the time. You know you'll be better from now onwards! Just stick with it, it'll all come better.

I've been bit bad as well and have now £100 on my cc that is not really supposed to be used. So am also trying to get back to the starting point.

I suppose we are only human if we falter now and again! I was going to use some of OH's relocation to pay off some debts (whenever it comes through) but have decided not to. It is using things like that that bails us out again and again.

So instead, it will be put in an ISA. Not what we are supposed to do when we have debts but it will make me feel better
