Hello Tink, great to see you back and glad you have got your move happening
Good point re Age of Money - although it's currently showing as 7 days, not sure why as the pots are all still full! Perhaps I've confused it by shifting the ISA money around to allow for the account switch.

Super quick Sunday shuffle as I am cream crackered!
The house sale happened - with exchange and completion on the same day in the end, I won't bore you with the saga behind why! I got the keys yesterday and had the locks changed straightaway due to a worrying mention from one of the estate agents about the previous tenants and arrears. Today I have explored a bit more and cleaned the kitchen. I'm going to take some more bits and pieces over in the week and hope to book a van for the weekend. I'm sure this will all be very exciting if only I can find the energy to be excited... it's dragged on for so long it sort of doesn't quite feel real.
I met the neighbours on both sides today and they are lovely. Also really pleased to find that I have a decent cooker and freezer, and that there looks to be room for a dishwasher
.
The budget is all still OK, there is enough spare for the stretch month coming up as I will have to sort out double bills etc. Must look up how I get my rent deposit back too. I really need to put some more money to the clothes budget and actually go shopping as I keep putting it off and there are things I really need to replace now.
Hope everyone has had a good week, I am off to bed now!

Thank you lovely people :A:kisses3:
I'm dashing around taking stuff over there and packing (very badly - I always forget how rubbish I am at it), hoping to move in a few days time.
Pleased to find that most things there are OK so just need basic curtains etc while I decide what next. Spends are going OK.
Absolutely cream crackered though so looking forward to being there and it all calming down
