Need to stop spending and chasing dopamine!

Well, I’ve had an update now but it’s not good news…

The buyer’s solicitors have found some issues with the lease, and it’s going to cost me over £3K to fix as it needs a deed of variation 😭 I’m telling you, this flat is just the gift that keeps on giving! My solicitors have asked me if I want them to ask the buyer to share the cost with me, but 1) I don’t think it’s morally right to do that and 2) she could back out, and in all honesty I wouldn’t blame her if she did! I’m going to ask my solicitors if these issues should have been picked up when I bought it, and if so, I’ll be looking to sue the solicitors I used at the time.

My debt is getting out of hand now as I’m going to have to borrow money to pay for this issue, but I’m kind of just ignoring it at the moment as I neeeeeed to sell this flat, whatever it takes. If the sale does go through then me & OH have agreed to do whatever we can to clear our debts in the fastest way possible. I’m so glad he’s on board because the whole thing terrifies me! 😢 Luckily he earns a good wage and can do a lot of overtime if needed which he’s always said he’s happy to do as he has a strong ‘provider’ mindset.

Also, to add salt to the wound, the buyer’s mortgage lender still hasn’t confirmed if they’re ok with the fact the flat has no builder’s warranty 🙃 so it could still fall through on that!

In other news, I’m doing a sleep out again this year to raise money for a local homeless charity and I’ve got £80 in donations so far. 2 colleagues are doing it with me and they’ve got quite a few donations too so between us we should get a decent amount! We’ve still got about 2 weeks to go before the event 🙂

OH and I took all 3 girls to the beach today for a few hours which was very much needed. It was particularly lovely watching DD1 be so happy. She loves the outdoors and after her struggles recently it just warms my heart whenever I see her running around playing like she did today. She’s got her 2nd counselling session next week and she’s eating a lot better so I feel like we are going in the right direction ❤️ DSD and DD2 also enjoyed the beach. DSD found a crab and some dead fish that had been washed up which she found fascinating! OH treated us all to fish & chips and then some ice-cream and waffles later on 😋

OH is back to work tonight so he’s currently having a nap. I’ve just cleaned the kitchen so I’m just chilling for a bit and then I’ll sort out some laundry. DSD is playing on her PlayStation, DD1 is chatting to her friends and DD2 is having a shower so it’s quiet for once 🤣 haha x
