    And is this now finishing? You won't be able to afford a nice house and still play with fast cars and women (so to speak!).

    stay at home another year, save another £24K gives you much better deposit

    Council tax Band C/D might be around £130-£160ish a month, you dont want to be buying E/F or you will be around/above £200. Another reason to get a smaller pad.

    I don't think I'd even want to spend £10k on my own wedding.
