Very very strange day!
I had an accident just over 3 years ago and been going through the process to claim compensation... Today I get an email with an offer! I will be accepting it and after costs I should see about £8k minimum! Cannot believe it!!!!!!?!!!?????

I got my permanent promotion!!!!!!
Woohoo!!!!!!!!

Payday!
Have done the usual money shuffle and paid £370 to the credit card meaning I'm now debt free! (excluding my mortgage) :j
Now to save up as much as possible to help me move and boost the emergency fund.
The past 2 weeks have been really good to me, hope everyone is doing well.

I'm not sure whether to do a new diary in this forum or in mortgage free wannabe... The money isn't going to overpay but is to cover fees and any work needed...
Decisions decisions :T

Well done on becoming debt free, it must be such a relief

I think it's time I get my a*** in gear and get my flat finished for when I finally put it on the market and move.
With this in mind and how no room is finished, thought I'd write a list on here of things to do to help keep me accountable

• carpet bedroom
• paint bedroom ceiling
• fill in small hole in bedroom wall
• new bedroom curtains
• repaint white walls in living room
• paint ceiling in living room
• lay laminate flooring in living room
• Sand dark wood in living room
• paint wood in living room
• get blown double glazing fixed
• get window sill redone (all plastic edging at the moment, it's horrible)
• paint kitchen walls
• paint kitchen ceiling
• finish sanding wood in hallway
• paint wood in hallway
• paint walls in hallway
• paint ceiling in hallway
• lay laminate in hallway
• finish cleaning grout haze in bathroom
• fix tiling where leak was in bathroom
• lay flooring in bathroom
• Sand wood in bathroom
• paint wood in bathroom

As you can see, a rather large list!!
My plan is to try to do something at least one evening a week and at least part of a weekend. When I eventually lay the laminate flooring I'll be booking half a week to a week off work and I will be getting someone in to do the window and carpet.

Hope anyone reading is doing OK!
