    Hi all just to update you all and let you know Im still alive :p

    Packing is nearly done will move Weds, handover flat on Tues hopefully we'll get our deposits back but theres a bit of damage on a few things.
    That'll go towards the moving fund.

    We closed our joint account and after bills I have £90 from the account. Our Gas and Electric will give us a bill for the last two weeks as we have recently made a payment so maybe £30-40 so keeping some of it back and the remainder will towards moving too!

    So I could end with £350 extra plus what I save......fingers crossed!

    Got a nice text from my new landlady who said she has a bottle of wine waiting for me :D in other words she thinks Im an alcoholic.....:rotfl:

    But it was sweet! I have a feeling Ill be happy for the next 8 months in the run up to Edinburgh ;)

    Hi all, hope everyone is ok. Im now waiting to move boxes and suitcases packed bar the last minute stuff so I have a box for that. Not a clue whats in each box tho!

    So in two days Im pretty much on my own...its all up to me now.

    My flatmate has given me a bag of shampoo and conditioner so I dont need to buy anything...just as I was running out of conditioner too. Theres expensive Hair masks in there too...shes not very MSE and has loads of clutter. But it has benefited me! :D Im grateful for her generousity!

    The budget next month means I can save £280 so I will have made my first £500 :D and hopefully more if I get my deposit back!

    Thank you!

    I have successfully moved into the flat and there are boxes everywhere! My new flatmate is lovely and quite chatty too.

    I had loads of stuff inherited from my previous flatmate and she left loads of stuff some of it is going to a charity shop! I can't see myself ever using what she left me!

    On the money front I am up to £411 :D but I got my deposit back so that'll be up to £711, so I am aiming for £800 this month I have a bike to sell so I'll see what I can get for that!

    So exciting stuff and I am excited at the thought of clearing stuff out making myself new goals and challenges!
  • Today has been a mixed day, a very busy day at work but got a call from the Council re Council tax and we are getting a refund as we have over paid so thats £55 to the fund, then I called the Gas/Electric Company and we are in credit of £110 so thats £55 in my pocket.

    So £110 added to my Edinburgh fund :D So when cheques have com in I have another £150 to add to my fund! And I won a £1 on a scratchard! :T
  • Hi all, sorry not posting. Its been a busy month with quite a few changes.

    The first is the move, it all went well and hope to get money back from the Council soon.

    I am training for the Loch Ness 10KM run next Sunday and it should be easier than the Half Marathon. I have also been riding my bike to and from work it only takes 20 mins and means I am home before 6pm :D

    The next change is I have met someone nice but its not very MSE as we go out for lunch and dinner but it is nice but I can see us cutting back on the meals, as I have been brave and will be cooking for him on Sat :eek:. We have been friends for quite a few months and it turned into something else. Its just trying to find things for us to do thats cheap or even better free!
