The boy and I rent a lovely little maisonette and our lease was for a year. Unfortunately, it’s the end of the lease and they are not renewing it. We have four weeks, well probably three now, to find a new house and to move into it. We’ve seen some nice places, one was a nice unit about the same size as this house, and a house which is much larger. Obviously the price is slightly more, but definitely something we can afford, and I think we both agree the larger one is best suited for us (boy, me, puppy, and three year old).

Finding a new house, moving, and cleaning this one, is not only so much effort. It costs so much money. I swear this is the last time we’ll do this. The next time I have to move, I want to be moving into my own house. That’s is my goal for the next year, to have the money situation to buy our own house.

We have the income to afford the mortage repayments, it’s the intial outlay of money, and needing a loan while having some debt. Time to reorganise our very unneeded (and unpaid because we’re lazy) debt. I’m thinking of rolling the two credit cards together, since that’s is our whole source of debt and then I can pay it off in dramatic chunks. I’m thinking of looking at a credit card which offers a lower interest rate, credit cards Australia gives a run down, which makes it easy to compare. That way every time I make a huge payment I see most of its’ benefits. The next thing I need to do is actually save some money to use as a deposit. It’s not the lack of cash, it’s the lack of planning and effort.

So turning some tables when we move, more money smart and I gotta clean properly! Where is that timetable of cleaning I started to put together?
