Morning,
Gas and electricity bills came through yesterday after being read....£600 in total :eek: need to change suppliers now I think, their bills keep creeping up so time to play with someone else.
DD did her Guides bit at Brownies and loved it.
DS did the mannequin challenge with Cadets, all the squadrons in the area are competing
Not a NSD today, need to buy MIL a birthday card.
Need to email my contact today about my contract and offer to come down to pick it up.
Also we looked at houses yesterday and talked about moving, yes we can do it and get a bigger house, but would cost us an extra £300pm. If we did, I'd have another challenge to try and get the mortgage down :rotfl::D
Going to be a wet one here today, make sure you wrap up warm if you're going out.0 -
Just had a look on Quidco and I can change our Gas and Electric, it will save us £300+ per year and I'd get £30 cashback. I will have a proper look this weekend but I think it's a no brainer.0

Are you happy in your current house or has the plan always been to eventually move somewhere else?
I can't believe the contract still isn't in your hands. :mad:
The filofax goal thing is fun, isn't it? I am crossing off things right and left and it just spurs me on to get more done. I feel organised and in control, which I'd slipped up on recently. I need to pop out to the post office in a bit, but when I get back I will have most of the day to work on the getting it done.0 -
We've always been trying to move, but life and kids got in the way. Now they're getting older, DD especially needs a bigger room as the one she has at the moment fits in a single bed with no room for anything else
I'm a bit annoyed that the contract still isn't here, I want to work for them but can't do anything until they pull their finger out.
I forgot just how organised I used to be until I started reusing my Filofax, it's a blessing now and I'll start using it in full force next year. Let me know how you get on today with yours....I may need some tips0 -
use a spreadsheet mine is a we lifesaver and can do projections and that
