  • Wow..yes, that's a brilliant saving

    Well done :)
  • Evening happy new year:)

    We had a quiet evening last night just chilled out at home just us for the first time in 6 years. Usually we have friends who travel down from Birmingham. Because of the move we decided to have a quiet one this time.

    I have had a nsd today. I did sell £38 worth of stuff on a local Facebook page today:j no doubt that will go on paint. I am happy to use any extra money made on the house so it doesn't come out of the budget.

    Not a lot else really happening today so not much to report. Hopefully I will be back tomorrow with more to tell x

  • Morning. We paid our first mortgage payment today:j. Is it normal to be excited? I think I might have dh a bit more on board now. I showed him the overpayment calculator and put in just £50 op a month - it would take 3 years off and £18243:eek: little does he know that I am aiming to save £150 a month once we have an emergency fund and everything is paid off;)

    It's been quite boring here, all I have done is clean and pack. It has kept me out the shops though and yesterday was another nsd. I don't see me spending anything today either as I have everything we need.

    Jobs for today are:-

    1 finish sorting my wardrobe out
    2 put washing away
    3 finish packing my room
    4 take dog out for walk
    5 make sausage rolls, chips and beans for dinner
    6 start packing the craft room
    7 list 10 items on eb*y
    9 finish my January cross stitch ornament

    Phew quite a busy day

    Have fun whatever you are doing x

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I think of a NSD breach as something I shouldn't have bought rather than a neccessity. Like breakfast club for dd3, its an additional spend but a need to.

    Congrats on new house, its so exciting buying a new house and making it yours.
