    They are looking at renting for now. The house they were buying was a shared ownersship and the Halifax, despite agreeing the mortgage three months ago have dropped it like a hot potato today. I could see it coming. Good news for me is I don't have to lend her £5k deposit anymore.

    They could move in with me but I think they want their independance.

    Just been laughing at work. Brighthouse have reported an increase of 17% profits. I know people are up in arms about brighthouse, but when i was younger it was the norm to rent a tv cos we couldn't afford to buy one. Credit was non existent to the working classes.

    I think years back everyone rented their TV, they weren't the throw away consumable they are now. I know my parents and both sets of grand parents rented. Radio Rentals was the backbone of TV ownership!

    From Wiki:

    "At its peak, Radio Rentals claimed it had more than 2 million customers, over 500 shops and employed 3600 technicians, 2700 skilled installers plus a large ancillary staff"

    Its Bunnys friend - now my friend..:rotfl:.

    I begged Bunny not to 'tag' me cos I knew that would allow everyone on my facebook to see my !!!!. She didn't but Ashley did. My sister rang me horrified that my bum was all over facebook so I managed to work my way through and untag myself but not until a fair number of people had seen me...:rotfl:
