    Hello hello!
    At the new house and it already feels like home and I'm holding together better than I thought.
    The kitchen is almost all unpacked though the Mr may want to move things around.

    The bedroom is getting there too!

    I need to get keys cut today as there is only one key and the boyfriend has it (he'll need it more than me) I officially move in next Saturday as I have my last week in work before I transfer to the work in my new area.

    We need to get some bits but obviously it'd all gonna take time!

    Hope everyone has a good Sunday!
    Remember to take care of yourself

    Ive checked my bank account each day and also started to save money in my emergency fund.

    I haven't done much as I've been trying to move in and also work is slammed. I set up home contents insurance for £5 so that's quite a cheap thing. I've also managed to keep buying multipacks of food and crisps for work
