    A pity a few people have to ruin threads just to get a dig in, though. A bit of moderation wouldn't go amiss IMO.

    until i saw this i wasn't going to say anything.... but this isn't a personal dig at Mitchaa and his personal financial situation is it :confused:

    Maybe he should change it to "I might still be able to come out ahead if I'm quick".

    I'm all up for the fluff, nonsense and banter..... hell we'd have to lose mewbie without it and I like that type of stuff. :T
    Even worse news.. I'm back. Fluff, nonsense and banter eh - it's nice to be appreciated.

    Funnily enough the few threads where I start posting a belief in anything - like fairness and equality for instance - I end up 'discussing' views with people that I wouldn't normally spend more than a moment on in real life.

    So I'm back with pure 100% garbage and insults from now on. Oh and fluff.

    Yay, mewbie's back! Sort them out will you, mewbie. This thread has degenerated somewhat. A spanking is in order to all involved.

    Doesn't that cost extra?

    Back to reality, an additional 30% decrease in house prices by Sept 09, followed by FTBs taking bargain houses off those who paid a mint for them. Oh dear, people will gamble with their money!

    Sorry, just trying to get the thread back on track:p
    30th June 2021 completely debt free…. Downsized, reduced working hours and living the dream.

    All fair comments however just reading your sig you will probably have to get rid off your debts and then save at least a 25% deposit if you are to buy anything.

    Correct - 9 months before I can start saving, aim to have deposit of around £15K by Sept/Oct 09 as the OH starts back at work in her new job next month. Add to that a LSAP of around £7k will give me a reasonable deposit I hope!
