Happy house anniversary. 

We are over 3 years in ours now and it still feels like yesterday 😀

Still sometimes end up wondering how we got so lucky…. According to Zoopla it’s also increased in value by £44k since we bought it too.  Although that only works if we sell, which we won’t!

Good morning all - what a lovely morning it is! Good weather always makes me cheery

£1 PAD sent to CC7 this morning and my budget has been updated.  Today won't be a NSD for me as I'm out for lunch but tomorrow I am doing jobs in the garden as the path needs a jet wash so I won't be venturing out to spend...  Cooking a nice meal for hubby tonight, and probably pop a bottle of prosecco too to mark the house-iversary. 

Had an email from Clearscore this morning that my credit score has gone up, 2 hard searches from when we moved in (utilities) have dropped off, although not sure why they would be on for a full year and not 6 months? Hey-ho. Anyway my score is now 894 and the average for our area is 580 so I feel like I'm smashing it  

Also I have been able to cash out another £5.65 from Prolific so that should hit Paypal by Wednesday next week, another £5 off the CC7 there - whoop! 

Going to do a bit of mad-tidy round now in case any of my friends want to come back for coffee after lunch, at least that will save me a chore tomorrow and means more time in the garden  

Hope you all have a fab Saturday!

Not surprised. It reckons ours has gone up almost £100k since we bought it in 2019 which ties in with what others have been selling for.

Absolutely mad. But we don't intend to sell so its all pretty irrelevant 😀

Bonkers isn’t it?

House prices remain a great mystery to me. Pretty sure I couldn’t afford my current house if I was trying to buy it now. All to do with supply and demand I guess but still seems very strange.Keep those payments coming LMD. You’ll soon be under the 7k mark.

Thanks @Antomac, I hope so! 

Morning all! I'm all set for my day in the garden, I will be getting out the bluetooth speaker and listening to some tunes whilst I work. 

I have sent £1 to CC7 this morning and it will be another NSD for me, I am on leave tomorrow and not sure of the plans yet so it may or may not be another tomorrow, who knows?

I had a lovely lunch out yesterday, with a few glasses of wine. The total spend including travel was less than £35 so not bad at all really, especially as it's been a while since we have met up and we had a lot to catch up on! 

That's all on the updates, hope everyone is doing OK?

We are the same. We definitely couldn't afford our house now. 

Madness really.

An evening update to report that I’ve done a successful MSE-thing…

yesterday when I was grocery shopping I noticed that our usual anchor spreadable had gone up to £4.25 for a tub! Well, we get through a lot with me working at home and hubby taking pack up so I got some of the Tesco equivalent to try.

This evening I tried it and I’m pleased to say I actually think it tastes better - a little win I think!

I am so glad I went off butter and margarine when I was 5. No idea why but saves me a fortune 🤣

Great news on finding an alternative that’s cheaper and better.
