Must stop spending

It's pay day

This weekend we paid off the balance for our Florida holiday in May and paid off everything I owe for it this morning

Apart from my monthly travel card for work at £330 I haven't spent any money this weekend. My hubby lent me the money to pay for it and I paid him back this morning.

I have just paid my £300 bonus plus the £40 I've saved on my phone bill to cc1. The total on cc1 is now £2140 and my total debt is £4340.
£400 will be going onto my two cards via dd after the 1st. Which means very soon my debt will be below £4K!

I got ill again this weekend. Another cold and sore throat. I think I'm run down from the stress of selling the flat. I really hope this is it for enquiries now and we can exchange soon. Wasting so much money on the flat at the moment. Once it's gone we can save.

I've got three family birthdays in March so I've got to be extra careful with my pennies.

£100 direct debit payment went onto cc2 this morning bringing that card debt down to £2100 and my total debt down to £4240
Cc1 has a balance of £2140 and my £300 direct debit is due to go out next week which means this time next week my debt will be below £4K

£300 direct debit went onto cc1 this morning bringing that card down to £1840. My overall debt over is now £3940.

We have finally exchanged!!! On the sale of our flat and our new house! Finally
We complete on the flat next week and then complete on the house in May/June.

Best part is that we get the money to pay off the balances on my Dad's cards which used to pay for extras on our house. Both balances have been incurring interest we really thought we would have sold the flat quicker than this.
It's been the slowest most painful process

Now we have to organise removals. For a period yesterday my husband thought it was a good idea to hire a van and do it ourselves but there is no way I can lift all that furniture down 4 flights of stairs. So today is going to be a mad rush to find a removal company who can do this Saturday. Who aren't going to cost us a fortune

That's fantastic news about the flat and house fingers crossed you get a reasonable priced removal company..........how exciting xx

It's Friday! :j

Got a removal company sorted for tomorrow morning for £240. We asked my mother in law to lend us the money and she has insisted on paying for it. So nice of her
So tonight and tomorrow will be spent clearing the flat.
On Sunday if we have time we are popping over to our friends house that they have just moved into. On Sunday evening we are going out for dinner with my mother in law for my husbands birthday on Monday. We have the day off on Monday going for drinks and a meal and cinema during the day in London. Presents and cinema are paid for but I will be paying for the meal.
I've started telling our utility companies that we are moving out. I can't wait to stop paying bills and save money!
I'm hoping this weekend goes smoothly and isn't too stressful.
