Hi all, just a quick update. House move done, now settled in and most of the boxes are unpacked. The last tenants didn't bother to clean the place, so rude! So have been on my hands and knees scrubbing the shower before I could unpack anything. But it's done now and I think we'll be happy here. The other flatmates and nice and it's close to a Lidl so at least my food shop will be cheaper!
The personal training is tough, my body feels so stiff at the moment as everything wakes up. It's nice to get up early and work out in the park though, sets you up for the day.
On the MSE front, I relisted my Ebay thing which had a non-paying buyer, and that finishes today. It's annoying as I had got a good price for it. Oh well. Still waiting for my £50 cashed out from Yougov, but got paid for my freelance work which is good.
The Barclaycard I was keeping for emergencies was used fraudulently to buy £800's worth of stuff from the Carphone Warehouse. I knew I should have closed it! At least the card company will refund this as it wasn't my spending, but I don't understand how it has happened. Internet shopping is clearly not as safe as it is made out to be.
My emergency fund is almost there, and my savings towards the deposit are going up bit by bit.DEBT FREE! AS OF 25/02/15
Emergency fund: £3000/£3500
House deposit: £10,000/£25,0000
