More than we can afford - £350k to £425k. We live in an expensive area. All a bit of a pipe dream really.Start Date 16/09/2015

Well, dreaming's free. You'd better hope the houses she's looking at give her some great ideas for making your house nicer without spending much on it. (Well, you can but hope, anyway.
)
It really seems unfair, sometimes. People post on here about houses they're looking at, and some of them live in areas so much cheaper than mine that I can only drool over the prices. Still, I choose to live in this part of the country, so I can't complain, really. Let us know what happens to your mortgage app.Starting again 13/4/19Home loan 1: £21,102.50 Home loan 2: £7,698.99Total owed: £28,801.49

It's frustrating because we'd love a house with a bigger garden for the kids, better parking and quieter, but we can't afford it.
Thanks for your replies - much appreciated

My pleasure! I appreciate your replies on my diary too.
Here's hoping you can get that FD mortgage in the bag, so you'll be getting towards that nicer house £68pm faster! Starting again 13/4/19Home loan 1: £21,102.50 Home loan 2: £7,698.99Total owed: £28,801.49

Had a nice afternoon at mother in laws, Easter egg hunt that my son loved and a very nice lamb dinner.

Ours opens on bank holidays but only in the mornings - which is what it usually does on Sundays.Starting again 13/4/19Home loan 1: £21,102.50 Home loan 2: £7,698.99Total owed: £28,801.49

Sounds like you had a good day yesterday.
Our local tip is open today (all day Sunday hours) and I am staying away as the Bank Holiday is the busiest time of the year and you end up queuing for an hour to get in!0 -
