Very good news @RelievedSheff I think this should see us in the new house, provided that there are no hiccups along the way.

I’d like to say it was another no spend day today but I had to go and pick up a prescription so that didn’t turn out the way I planned.Had an email this evening to call the solicitor and pay the search fees so that’ll have to be done tomorrow - although that’s quite exciting in terms of movement on the new house...
Nothing else to report today I’m afraid, hope everyone is ok

Happy Friday, we have made it to the end of another week!
Productive day for me so far, I have been up early so meal plan for next week done and groceries ordered. Called the solicitors and made the payment for the searches so now we just wait... I've juggled balances around to make the most of new 0% offers so that's good. Once all done I will update the balances in my signature but it's all up in the air at the moment and confusing.
Other than groceries and the legal fees I don't plan on any other spends today.
Stay frugal peeps

Finally have another statement generated so I’ll be paying £150 to CC2 today. Overpayments have already been done before it was generated so it feels low... I just need to get my head around it.Not as much spare cash anyway this month after paying the search fees, next month will be better I’m sure.Another early start for me today, already done cleaning, a bit of work that I needed to catch up on and the food shopping has been delivered so that’s all popped away. Meal plan for the week is done, I will need to do a top up shop Tues/weds for more bread and the washing up liquid I forgot to order!LMD xLife gets in the way...PADding is addictive...Saving's better than spending...My savings diary - Now for a healthier, wealthier me2025 1p challenge #41 | Cash envelope challenge #01 | SPC #017Sealed pot 2025 £5678 | EF £1000/£1000 | Sabbatical £3188/£6000 | Travel savings £1924 | Sinking pots £21262

You're super organised. I need to take a leaf out of your book!
well done on the OP!2 -
Thanks! I’ve had a lot of practice and I think it’s just the way my mind works... I’m definitely a planner! Meal plans help me keep the grocery spending in check and I don’t get lured in with special offers haha!Life gets in the way...PADding is addictive...Saving's better than spending...My savings diary - Now for a healthier, wealthier me2025 1p challenge #41 | Cash envelope challenge #01 | SPC #017Sealed pot 2025 £5678 | EF £1000/£1000 | Sabbatical £3188/£6000 | Travel savings £1924 | Sinking pots £21262

When I move you I need to do a meal plan. It will defo help with the budget!1

Do you have a slow cooker? I batch cook and freeze portions up. That’s mainly all we use the freezer for, except for a few bags of veg. I find the slow cooker is a godsend and wouldn’t be without it!Deleted_User said:When I move I need to do a meal plan.

Yeah I have one but never use it.
I'm going to make a point of finding recipes and batch cooking when I move.2 -
Sorted out the budget for the month this evening and paid off the additional interest on one of the credit cards, again not much, but it will add up over time. £56.91 there... not sure if it's my OCD that kicks in but I like to make sure they're all rounded down as much as possible.
It's been one of the days that passed in the blink of an eye today, hopefully tomorrow will be a little more relaxed and slow paced.
