    Wow Dinah that is very complicated but sounds like you know what you are doing.

    I managed to break my laptop earlier, don't know how but is al fixed now. Have spent the rest pf the day trying to devise a proposal as am trying to persuade my Dad would be a great idea for him to buy a house for me, OH and my sister to rent in a view to maybe buy off him one day. Have been looking up varying mortgage costs etc, very complicated and don't really understand it all.

    Why do you need that much rent up front Flower? Does he have a job lined up up there?


    OH has a job lined up yes, but i dont yet. According to all the letting agents we cant afford the rent we are willing to pay (based on his income) - the fact that we have managed for over a year now doesnt make a difference. So it means we need to pay some money up front so that they dont think we are going to do a runner - or something like that!!

    Very trusting of them! Would you be working there too? Are you going to be any closer to your family there (where is 'there'?!)

    My family are pretty much dotted all over the country, so will be moving away from some but closer to others - if that makes sense?!
    'There' is the birmingham area but we havent decided where yet - definatly not in birmingham - one of the surrounding towns.

    Hopefully i will get into work pretty quickly - when i eventually decide what i want to do!!

    I cant believe your having a meet!! I wish i could go but its to far for me, i hope you all have fun though

    How can we be at these meets if were not told of the arrangements then Flower? We might have to do things like work so that our finances can be there to be arranged :D
