I won't leave lol.
I suppose what I could do is take the figure before the house money and then add to it with savings if that makes sense

Just take the vcitory and then you could take the average of what we have paid, take it from £15k and rejoin us. I don't think you should leave us

I agree you get the hat and then have to try and win another by saving 15,000.
I hope the plan is we're all here until everyone has they're own hat then we aim for another prize (handbag, handbag, handbag!)Looking for the perfect home and saving to make becoming a MFW easier
