    well LT how did it go? Anyword yet from the Estate Agent? I do hope you get it sorted soon, if it's a rental does that mean the whole process moves quicker than someone who wants to live in the house?

    hi all, survived a week with the outlaws - just. :)

    we eventually got feedback for the flat and apparently she couldn't find fault with it but it didn't feel like it was for her, i guess we just have to keep on going and hope for some more viewings. it's a shame as we now know that the house we like is having an open day next weekend. I'm thinking of going and sneaking in a pan of boiled cabbage to put any potential buyers off lol

    Money update....

    Payday for OH yesterday, finances sorted out today, my payday on Monday.

    Payment to Mad Mavis of £250 brings that debt to £4,400
    payment to savings £300 bringing the 8% savings to £3,000 (towards Mavis)
    therefore additional savings towards Mavis - £450 (not included in the net debt total below)
    Credit card to be paid in full £711 of which £175 was christmas pressy's which i've already got the money for.

    net debt down to £1615 ta da! could just do a happy dance seeing that number!
    this is getting really close now, just need to know how i'm going to use my 8% savings money, i've probably said this but the options are:
    mad Mavis
    house deposit/legal costs etc
    medical operation
    car deposit

    this is probably the order in which i priorities the options except for the top two, if the house comes first then that's where the money will go.
  • Hi Lemon you are an absolute inspiration. Hope house sale happens quickly for you.x
