Back on it

Sorry guys, been a bit slack with the 'ol blog.  Life just gets busy, y'know?

I'm such a worrier, shouldn't have panicked so much about the valuation thing... price came out low and my landlady/friend has decided not to sell.  Found out her reasoning behind it all as well - poor thing got a bill of over a grand through for some extra maintenance work.

Have applied for a job in another county as I mentioned in a previous post, and have seen another I'm going to apply for.  Still planning to get away for a fresh start if possible as my life here has been getting me down.  Makes financial sense anyway - both jobs pay more than my current job plus my second job so it's a no brainer really!

Finances are currently still going in the right direction... savings are going well and my spending, whilst not as careful as I'd like, is within my means with still some left over.  I now have over £400 built up to pay off my £772.50 credit card when the interest free period ends around November time.  Sadly, I realise my car is due a service very soon, so that'll will probably swipe £100-150 or more out of the money I've saved :(  Still, better than the old days when I would have just put the bill on my credit card and not really paid it at all!

Happy Easter by the way everyone!  I've been having a text conversation with one of my mates today who cannot understand why I'm not really an Easter egg fan...  I just find chocolate on its own boring.  I like chocolate with caramel, or biscuit, or nuts etc. but on its own?  Snooze.  Every year I either give away my chocolate, forget about it and end up throwing it away when it's out of date, or melt it down to make yummier things.  I've had a hankering for brownies for weeks now, so am thinking about making some today, but you usually use dark chocolate for them and I've got a glut of milk chocolate.  Any suggestions?
