    Did I make a spelling mistake?

    What a hoot. That will keep you comedy geniuses going for hours!
    i take it that you have a fixed rate mortgage hence the general unhappiness?

    have a look on www.urbandictionary.com to see what "exagduarte" means

    This is lively!
    There was a question too in my point.
    In order to get a larger house/mortgage in a years time is it better to reduce credit cards by £10000 or have £10,000 more equity?

    I don't really understand what you're saying here.
    I'm sorry, is English not your first language? Let me explain. I was quoting a post that claimed you needed to earn £75,000 a year to buy anything more than a cardboard box in the south east of England. I was asserting that someone earning £25,000 a year could aspire to purchase property in Kent. That's assuming they have saved the 20% deposit required by most lenders these days. Clear enough? If you need more clarification, just ask.
    Been away for a while.

    The one you edited in afterwards as you realised you had picked me up on your spelling so thought you'd better go correct yours?

    some people on here would class you as a dirty filthy thief that is stealing from those ever so prudent vulnerable savers.

    congrats on the savings by the way :)


    You forgot to congratulate the £20k of credit card debt.

    i didn't want to mention it. he was probably on a 0% deal

    if i had it would have pushed Graham over the edge and more froth would have been coming out of his ears if he knew someone that was even more better off than him.

    i'm one of those caring sorts that thinks about others:)
