Palema’s quest for a place to call home

Hey missy

Glad you had fun at your dad's birthday Sensible thing to do waiting until you have enough money to furnish a house the way you want to - I didn't have a lot of money when I bought my flat and as a result have some furniture that I hate - and I bought my flat years ago!!

Might have to cadge a lift again on Wednesday as Mr F needs the car. Will keep you informed though!

I should have about 10K by Feb/March next year saved and I think for shared ownership that may be enough, will just have to wait and see!

Hi P

So glad that WW is going well for you. I would love to look in on one of your classes but too far away, may be if I come up to your neck of the woods I will just have to pop inn. I have a friend who moved up to Edinburgh last October and I haven't managed to get up to see her yet...so maybe one day soon

Lovely to hear your Dad had a lovely birthday too.

Sensible decision to wait until you know you can furnish your home with the things you want, I had hand me downs with my first home. Very grateful at the time, but too a few years to get the things I really liked. The new build sounds fab everything all shiny and new.

Take care and catch you soon x

Hey Beanie
Yes we get expenses back - as it is a new employment it has taken a week or two to get going but we get expenses and milage every 2 weeks, my mileage is not alot as 1 of my 2 venues in only 2 mins from home so I claim only for 1 mile for each of my 2 meetings. The other one however is 7 miles away so I claim for 14 miles for that one.
