Been foraging today, most satisfying. We got sloes, blackberries and some hazlenuts from our field, crumble in the oven.

Tomatoes and raspberries from Dad's greenhouse - they're on holiday and so not picking anything.

Pears and apples from a kind person in the village who has too much and has put some out for people to take.

what are the chances of getting a buy to let mortgage on a 240k house with a 40k deposit which will yield rent of £650 a month????

Oh and logs, we got logs. And I got my 40 minutes walk in, carrying a 17lb baby!

We were thinking of a buy to let, for ALOT less than that.

I put a question on the mortgages board, got a lot of replies, some a bit honest for my linking but suppose you need every side.

Long and short seems to be see a broker.

we used london & country as our mortgage broker and they were superb, will definitely see what they can find for us when it's time to remortgage.

Thanks, guys. Brodie I did put a question up, they were nice actually, but know what you mean, it's a jungle outside MFW and flylady.

pavlov's london and country - is that fee paying?

fee paying?! :eek: :eek: what do you take me for?!

L&C are fee free whole of market brokers recommended by MSE (or as much as Martin will ever recommend any one specific company anyway).

Oh dear, I think I would need to get more in rent than I have any hope of...unless it goes on the market for less than I expect.

Will def do that!!!

Been to collect glass for renovation today, and wood filler. We are now hosting two African land snails, which will be good for my waistline as they put me off my food.

Managed to avoid buying snacks while out. Still trying to form a kitchen plan.

I'm becoming increasingly aware that maternity leave is running out!
