Congratulations! I'm glad the meeting was cancelled, that doesn't sound that high over 12 months. Even more glad that it's irrelevant, I know how much thought you've put into this. Woohoo!SPC 11, No. 062 DFD November 2020

Morning diary
Managed to get through another working week!! Yes leaving at Christmas so 20 days to go!!
We should find out this morning whether we are definitely moving tomorrow or not. So fed up with this now.
In other money news I had an email from my course providers and it looks like my course fee has been reduced by about £600 which is great news!! I will need to clarify today with a phone call if this is actually the case.
I also went up an increment in salary so that means a small pay rise for my final two months. Yippee!!
Current mortgage provider has taken a payment for this month meaning we have an extra £500 ish towards costs this month as predicted. This will probably be absorbed into the category ‘puppy proofingthe new garden.’
It’s good to have a bit of extra money though!!

Hellooooo!!
We have moved!! It has been horrendously stressful but we are in now and I’m glad it’s all over. We have sold the old house but having bought the one we are living in yet - hopefully that will all happen next week.
So I still don’t know where we are money wise as it hasn’t ‘cleared’ yet.
I’m using this time to really think about my money habits before I can commit to a plan of action for the new year.
Hope all is well with everyone else xx19/8/19 vs now Current Total debt £14,188 Savings £2757
