Eeek how exiting! Hope the mortgage gets sorted easily for you. x

Thanks Muser, I have my fingers crossed.... i'm not sure it will be easy or straightforward but hopefully it works out OK......

Well, being a contractor certainly has it's pitfalls when it comes to things like getting a mortgage...... hopefully it will be sorted OK but it wont be straight forward and I need to pay a company to organise it all for me, meh!!

So, if it doesn't work out, I will just need to save like a mad woman I suppose and try and buy a property....

Hmmm, might have found a lender that accepts a low joint salary which means I wont need to worry about going via the Contractor people - their fee was £695, so hopefully it works out and we make a saving......

They're calling us this evening to run through everything. Fingers crossed.

Just appointed the solicitors, so it's all getting very serious.

Of course, in the next few days, it's going to hurt like hell as our o/s balance is going to shoot back up. Gutted.

Hehe - would have been cheaper I suppose!!

My B2L adventures will definitelty be putting a curb on any frivolous spending and well as destroying my dream of being mortgage free by the end of 2016. Sob sob

Happy 2000th post_party_

You might not be mortgage free by 2016, but if this were a game of monopoly you would be have a nice wee house empire accumulating, and I would be looking at my community chest card which would read 'excuse me, but when TF are you ever gonna do any MOPs?'

Meh;)
