    First day off in ages but new job is going well, enjoying it so far and we will hopefully get out a bit more in the coming weeks.
    Still got three weeks or so for first wage and it seems an eternity since I was last paid😂 I am currently doing my meal plan for the week and chilling with the cat.

    It will be good when pay day comes. I'm lucky as most of my working life I've been paid 2 weeks in arrears and 2 in advance. It helps so much (well the first month at least).
    Moving goals: Anticipated costs £8.2K (excluding new furniture or any post move renovations)
    1) Upfront house move costs Paid £1034/£2,609 (£448 for legal, £586 for mortgage, £76 post redirection, £1,500 removals)
    2) Balance of likely house move costs Paid £0/£5,372 (£1,772 legal, £3,600 land tax from equity)
    Longer term financial goals
    3) £6,519/£10,000 Emergency/Freedom/Home/Moving Fund 65.19%
    4) MFW Nov 21 £201,999 with 264 240 payments to go - now £186,368 Equity 38%
    5) Mortgage neutral by June 2030 £6,289/£127,466 AVC target 4.93%
    6) FI Age 60 annual income target £12,500/30,000 41.66%
    7) CC Debt free April 22 (now stay that way!!)

    It’s only going to be a normal pay no overtime but hopefully I will get February overtime from previous job this Friday.
    Walked over 8 miles today but balanced this with a fish supper for dinner😱
