    I was pretty chilly pegging my washing out but I'm so grateful for blue skies and a glimmer of sunshine.

    Everything seems to be progressing well with the house and great that some of your regular bills will reduce too.

  • Another cold but less windy day spent out, spent more than I was happy with but it isn’t often we do get out like that and treat the kids. 

    Interested to see my electric bill hit the account tomorrow. It should be down on last months but with my rubbish provider I never know what to expect!

    Electric bill in and paid. Please to see we used £30ish less than last month. 

    65p cashback from Shopmium. £5 in from vrpr and quite a few surveys from ipsos today. 

    So house news. Long story but we are back searching again.  Trouble is it feels crazy out there again with so many viewings on properties and offers going over and above asking.

    £5 in from ipsos and Amazon balance topped up. Had a spend £10 get £10 off from joules so treated myself to a winter hat. Only paid postage. 

    Requested nearly £10 of cashback from TCB which should hit the bank early next week. 

    Been a rainy rainy day. So haven’t got up to much.

    Frosty here this morning and a day of no particular plans ahead. My favourite kind of day. 

    £5 in from huyu yeaterday which has taken ages to achieve but no effort so I’ll carry on with that. Amazon balance topped up.

    That's a big thing, debtfree, how do you feel about it?  A list like that is a good idea if you're going to stay for a good long while, especially with time factored in.
