  • that's good :) if/when we get a mortgage ill be joining you all on the MFW board properly, don't want to be paying it off any longer than I have too :)


    I hope we can get a decent deposit together over the next 6/7 years.
    im in college for the next 2/3 years and then hope to go to university after so we wont be able to apply for a mortgage for at least 7 years I don't think but hopefully starting now we will have a reasonable deposit by then.

  • pup has been good as gold. :)


    finances have took a small hit but Im determined to soon be back on track


    ive still got loads listed on ebay and will be listing more today and tomorrow
    im hoping to join next months £10 a day challenge :)
    I will update next week of where we are financially


    for some reason my balance hasn't updated on tcb even though I have made purchases through them. anyone experienced this before ?


    not a lot to add on the financial front other than apart from the pup we have stuck to budget but I should still hit our target
