  • Can’t sleep so I’ve got up so I don’t disturb hubby... 

    It’s pay day today so I have made payments to the cards where statements have been generated. No overpayments this month as we need to put some money aside for moving costs due to be paid before the mortgage has been drawn down and distributed. 

    Payments made to CC1 and CC6, the other 2 should be about the 10th of April. 

    No update on the house yet, it’s like the calm before the storm haha

    Phone is fixed (phew) I’ve logged a complaint with my provider but I’m not holding my breath... 

    Will pop and update signature now

  • Hope you managed to get some sleep. 
    Managed another half hour at about 5:45am on the sofa. Then I had to get up for work. 

    Happy completion day lovely, hope it’s not too stressful xx

  • Thank you! So exciting!!!
  • Not really been a spendy weekend here, aside from bills... most of my wages are intact and I have a reserve to put in my savings for the move (whenever that may happen).  I've sold some more items on Facebook marketplace so another £35 in the purse there.  I will just keep adding stuff until we can do a car-boot and then take them there instead. It doesn't cost to keep them on there and you never know what people might be looking for. 

    Off to walk the dog now, while it's not raining and I only have the wind (and his wind) to deal with... :D

  • Monday morning's soon come around! I'm absolutely shattered this morning so I'm assuming I'm still getting used to the change in time.  Hubby starts his new job today so I'm hoping he has a good day and settles in quickly.  Today will be a NSD, I need to:
    • catch up on laundry from over the weekend
    • clean the living room
    • walk the pooch
    • work from home - quite an admin day today with just one Teams call (easing in for the week)
    • try and find where a particular colour of Frenchic is in stock locally for hubby...
    Hope you all have a good day

  • Happy Monday - hope you have a good day.
  • The no spend day went out the window as we had to pay more solicitors fees.  Oh well, at least it wasn't on something frivolous :D 

    I'm really enjoying this sunshine,  loads of washing done already!

  • See I wouldn't count that as a spend as that is a factored in cost. 
  • I have only been counting them when I've not spent anything at all... hehe, maybe I am being too hard on myself!

    That was the only spend anyway, tomorrow I need to go to the shop and get more bread and milk so that won't be a NSD, I also need more fuel.  Should be all I need til the grocery shop next weekend though so that will be good.
