    Hello :)

    We are trying to save for a deposit too (I'm 23 and partner is 27). We already own a property (apartment) but couldn't sell it so have let it out and rented a house for ourselves. We reeeeally want to own another house so are trying to save save save.

    But with a new baby its going to take a little longer.

    But my money saving tips are to do your food shopping online - it saves me nearly half the amount!!! Then buy your fruit and veg from a local green grocers.

    As hard as it is, try not to go out as much (nights out, meals ect).

    One other thing is to check your bank statements reguarly to see what your spending your money on.

    If you get good wins, look at selling them on.

    Good Luck
