I'd be inclined to suggest doing the house up a bit; sprucing the place up might help you make the decision on whether to stay put or not, and if you decide not to stay the sprucing up might help improve the offers you get on your place when you put it up for sale!

Spreadsheet updated

115k - I'd agree with the others, do some small decorations so that your house will look better and then it might make your mind up

#077 popping on to declare £119.28 for August Better than last month so I'm happy with that. Hopefully in September I will get a £100 bank switching bonus on top of whatever I save Depends how long it takes them to put it in my account though, it might roll over to October instead.

Afternoon all,

No. 38 declaring (on time for a change!) an August total of £800. I had to unexpectedly pay out for new brake pads for the car, and a new mattress for the bed.

At 76% of my total now, only roughly £2,800 to go with 4 months remaining. "And I'm feeling good...."

Payday update for August! After a slow start to the year, I'm feeling sooo motivated now that I've passed the £80k mark! Haven't decided what to do to celebrate yet, but I'll treat myself to something

I saved £1,047 in August...

...which brings my 2014 (to date) total to £6,970...

...and my overall total to £81,097!

115K - I agree with the others - you'll get the benefit of redecorating whether you stay or sell Let us know what you decide!

Hi SF :wave:

It's payday :j

I have added my total for August. I also updated my total for March because it disagrees with my spreadsheet for some reason - at least it's now more rather than less!

I've got a very different number on the spreadsheet as your total for the year....?

This might be a naïve question but what do the colours mean on the spreadsheet? Green, yellow and red?

I have got a pay increase (WOOHOO) and hopefully a bonus on its way... so hopefully can make up the lost ground and set myself up well for next year (already thinking about 2015 I know!) lol.
