BookWorm

Just stopped by to say hello Hope you are having a lovely bank holiday weekend

I've had a read of your diary and you are doing brilliantly :T I wish I had been as clued up as you when I bought my house. Took me a few years to cotton on to OP's, etc - but got there in the end

Best of luck with the rest of your journey :beer:

1st week of may update

Painted the office bit few bits left to do yesterday
Boiler is being fitted tomorrow :] should be finished by Friday
Hoping the plaster will be finished this week but i know he wont be

Took 3k out of the bank today to pay boiler and get some bits for the house new lights ect

Won £25 on the premium bonds wooooooo Tax free love that haha

I have roughly 2-3k left now in the House fund which will need a bump in the next 2 months also to allow for kitchen and flooring

Hi LIL! You've been so busy lately and achieved so much.

Congrats on the premium bond win - every little helps! Hope you're having fun with the decorating - so nice to make a place your own.

And really well done on the OPs, you're really tearing through that mortgage balance.
