Yay for the house hunting Lettuce! What are the house prices like where you are? They are quite expensive round here. You need about £270k to get a nice 3 bed in a decent-ish area. You can get smaller ones for about £180k but they're usually on ex council sites, no off street parking etc etc.
Good luck with your house hunting Emmy. My sensible head would say to you to think carefully about stretching your budget hun, we don't know how long interest rates will stay this low for. Even a 0.5% rise could eat that £50 a month. When we went for our mortgage meeting, we looked at getting two deals (we are on a good deal that they don't offer anymore so would transfer this mortgage and get a separate deal for the remaining money) and the total we wanted to borrow was about £180k and each mortgage deal would go up by about £60 so if rates went up 1% then we would pay £100 more each month.
Anyone up to anything nice today? Weather here is pants. Got to do a big shop at Asda. It's ridiculous, I spent £20 in Tesco the other day which I was on lunch and £35 is sainsburys yesterday on dinner and a couple of offers and we still need to spend about £100 in Asda. food is so bloody expensive!
How was it with DH coming home Sapphire?
