    Well moving day!!

    The van had left and my sisters letting them in down the other end. I'm not driving down until later because I hate it when its busy especially being on my own with the kids and its nearly 400 miles.

    Today will be spent cleaning bits up because it looks bare now all mine and the kids stuff etc has gone.

    Bank balance £35

    Have cash on me for anything we need and fuel card to fill the car twice.

    Waiting on some money hitting the bank from someone who owes me money I didn't expect back so soon so that's a bonus. Can also withdraw from savings if needs be but I really don't want to touch this account at all.
