I like to think that I am sensible when it comes to money. Moving out of my parent’s and into my own house has been pretty scary. I have a (possibly 40 years!) mortgage hanging over my head, and there are lots of bills to be paid.

Already sorted:
-Mortgage. Paid monthly.
-Insurance. Paid monthly.
-Electricity. Paid monthly.
-TV licence. Paid monthly.

-Pension. Taken straight out of my wages.

Need to sort out:
-Council tax.
-Water services.
I’ve already completed direct debit instructions for both of these, but after checking my bank statement I can see that no money has been taken yet. Need to find the phone numbers so I can chase this up (typically all I can find is a postal address which is no good seeing as they haven’t acted on the debit instructions in the letters I sent them previously).
-Gas. Will receive the first bill after 6 months of living at the new property, so that should be in June.
