Third time's the charm...

Thanks @WinterWarrior - Did some digging on Zipzero at lunch and it seems they had a glitch. It's back up and running again now - phew!  In fact, I have asked them to make a payment for most of my balance to my utility company

I am enjoying watching my CRA credit scores go up as well. Like you I know it is daft as they are only a fictional number and not used by credit companies but it still makes me happy to see them heading in the right direction for the first time in a very long time

Hope you are settled into your new home now?

Hi there @RelievedSheff, glad I'm not the only one delighting in the credit score increases  

New house feels like we have been here a lot longer than we actually have, it's a wonderful community and the neighbours are all lovely. We have really blitzed what needed to be done and now we only have the hall and stairs to decorate and then a new stair carpet. Hopefully we can get that done by Christmas or maybe take advantage of the January sales 'free underlay, free fitting' deals.  I would prefer to use a local independent though.

It really says something that we both missed the house when we were on holiday!  I also really missed the dog. 

Hope you're still enjoying your outings in the campervan?  Hubby has ideas of converting his van into a but of a camper just so we can go and stay here and there in the future.  Will be a lot easier now we have a drive...

We are loving the motorhome thanks. We are now certain that we made the right choice for us selling the boat and buying the van instead.

Looking forward to a weekend at home this week though. We love travelling around but it is nice to come home to a house that we love

LittleMissDetermined

I definitely know how that feels now! Enjoy your homely weekend x

Happy Monday! 
We have had a lovely weekend, and it's felt longer because we we went out on Friday night. Lots of laughs and family time, it's been great.

Back to work this morning, the weather doesn't look promising so will be having to use the tumbler today. Not very MSE but necessary.  Not got many meetings today do it'll be an admin and project day, plenty of opportunity to get washing done in my breaks

Today is a planned NSD except for my PAD, took me below the £14400 mark too this morning yay! It's so satisfying to see it dropping down.  All food is in from the weekend shopping and I'm not going anywhere so no opportunity to spend. 

Have great days, whatever you're doing

Low spends day for me today, we needed some more bread and milk so a grand total of £2.50 spent. It's still a week until payday and the accounts aren't looking too bad, but I do think it will be a weekend at home ahead.  I do enjoy spending time just pottering at home...

I've been toying with asking for a crochet starter kit for Christmas as I think it would be quite therapeutic and will mean less time scrolling social media too.  Any crochet-ers lurking? Not sure what I need to get started.  Hubby has lots of hobbies and I don't seem to have any except for cleaning and cooking haha

I’m not a crocheter, but I’ve also been thinking about it. Watching the you tube tutorials send me down a rabbit hole 😁

This may be a good place for me to start! I think I would prefer crochet to knitting and there are some really cute things to create… I’ll have a look and hopefully it’ll help me make my decision about where to start, thanks!

PAD made this morning, all bank accounts were rounded already as I've had a few NSDs this week.  So instead I rounded down the balance of CC4 to aid my OCD  

Woke up this morning thinking it was Friday...   Oh well, another day, another dollar.
