Summary Welcome to our April spending post! This month, we spent a total of £2,509. It was a bit of a strange month as we were on holiday for 2 weeks, most of which was already paid for.

This is our first time selling a home, and it’s come with a lot of learning curves. Many on social media have asked me to share my tips after our home sold for the full asking price after being on the market for less than 24 hours.
