I haven't posted in the last few days, but I have been following people's progress.
I had a slip on Tuesday in Sainsburys and spent £22 on one of those lovely cast iron casseroles and a trivet. In my defence, it was half price, and I had actually been considering getting a (massively expensive) one from the Le Creuset outlet.
There's lots of half price cookware/ kitchen equipment in Sainsburys at the moment, if anyone is in need of anything. The cast iron cookware is lovely and the quality seems good for the price.
Apart from that, it's all been pretty low cost for me this week. I didn't like any clothes in Sainsburys and Boden contacted me to let me know I hadn't updated my payment details, at which point I decided to go somewhere cheaper for DDs top and not bother with a dress for myself. That is unusual for me and I think means I'm making progress with controlling my spending.
And soon I hope to be a little better off as I've managed to sell my house! This is a little cottage I lived in before moving in with DH (we lived separately for a long while, even after DD was born), but it's become a bit of a burden. It's rented out, but we've always ended up worse off as it's needed lots of repairs and maintaining between tenants. Our (lovely) tenants move back to the US in December and the owner of the house next door has offered to buy it to let out, so as a private sale there won't be any agents fees. I'll be sad to see it go, as I was really happy there, but it will help with getting our family finances on track. I'm determined to not even see the money, but to put it straight into our mortgage here.
Looks like it's going to be a lovely weekend (at least South-ish). Here's to lots of lovely (and free) Autumn walks and home in time for tea and Strictly :)
