8 days until I get my keys and 15 days until I move! So excited.
Oh had an email from Admiral to say my renewal payment was declined - my SBCC expired in February so that will be the reason why, will need to call them and sort that out today.

So just had a look at the bank account and its not as healthy as I wanted it to be at this point. This is mainly because I've just had to fork out £560.00 on car repairs and £238.73 on car insurance - ouch!
So at the moment I have £600.00 in my account and I need to keep that because I need to pay my uncle to paint and decorate the new flat. Not sure how much this is going to cost cos I need to wait till I get the keys so he can have a look and give me a price.
Also need to pay £120.00 for the guys to come and move the furniture for us.
I really hope that £600.00 will cover both but honestly I have no clue
I'll have been paid again by the time we move so I'll give another update then when all the bills are sorted for the month.
