Ooh point me in the direction of the challenge! I already cashed out £55 in Feb and March so I'm starting from the ground up again on most of mine.  Which ones do you use?

So I found some lovely living room furniture and can't find it in stock anywhere! Found a website called Shoc Furniture and it let me place an order but I bet you they email me tomorrow to say they don't have them and need to order them in.

I'm hoping I'm wrong but we shall see. 

It's this TV unit, coffee table and side table in black.

So I need some pots and pans, any suggestions?? 

I'm sure the ones I had before were Tefal and they were alright.

We have Tefal frying, omelette pans and Wok, they're brilliant.  Our saucepans are stainless steel ones with glass lids and they were just from Tesco.  We also have a non-stick milk pan we picked up at Wilko and that's fantastic.

My BF works in Dunelm so I've asked him to have a look when he's in today for any bargain sets they might have. 

We'll see if he remembers   

I'm meeting him when he finishes at 8pm and staying with him tonight.

We're discussing him just moving in with me when I get the keys to the flat, we'll make a decision this weekend.

Always good to know someone who can look out for bargains for you!  I'm sure he will remember (fingers crossed anyway)

Nothing much to report DFW wise this weekend. 

Haven't bought anything else for the flat, going to try and not spend any more until I am in there and can see exactly what I need.

I have spent way too much money on take aways and booze over the last week - naughty Dolly!

Need to be smarter with my money especially now I have a mortgage to pay off!

Good morning and happy Monday.

Back on the diet today, I have eaten way too much junk for far too long and I actually feel terrible for it. Can feel the weight going back on me so time to finally get those last 22lbs off. 

Hoping to hear from the solicitor today, she did email me to say I would hear from her by end of last week but didn't hear anything. If I don't get anything from her by Wednesday I'll chase it up. 

11 days until I get my keys and 18 days until I move in.

Got the car back and I am down £560.00. 

That's quite a dent in my furniture fund but had to be done, can't live without the car. 

Got a quote for a removal, now bear in mind it is furniture from one bedroom,a couple of TV's, a TV unit, washing machine and a few bags and boxes - £360! Told them just to leave it. 

Got another quote - £120! Will get that booked later on just need to confirm with the BF before I sort it. 

Have my appointment with the solicitor on Wednesday morning to sign all the paperwork. She asked me to send my proof of my deposit over so I just sent images of my bank account? Hoping that will be enough, if not I can get something printed from the bank to take with me on Wednesday.
