    2 rooms decluttered and a pile of things to sell, okay they're not going to make me a fortune but every penny helps eh? ;)

    Feel very enthused now, this is going to be a good month, I'll make it be.

    Today we need to buy paint to return the house to its original state (part of our contract) then it's time to take down the Xmas decorations and pack them away.

    I had a horrid thought about my credit card last night, I think I've been incredibly stupid so I need to figure out if I have and what can be done about it if so. GAH

    Paint bought and other than the parking we resisted temptation and left without spending anymore money. A real challenge for us :D and I spent this afternoon blitzing the dining room and have more stuff in the 'for sale ' pile!

    Eugh I had to put away the decorations today. Such a painful job. The whole house needs hoovering now.

    Did you sort out your Credit card. Hope you haven't been stupid like you thought xxx

    Still burying my head in the sand :o

    To be honest even if I have been a twit I can't really do anything for a few months so I might as well live in ignorance for a bit ...

    New house applied for, the rent is just shy of a 400% increase on what we currently pay :/

    Having a mini panic about how we'll pay for it though...
