Hiya I'm finally in a position to start saving up for a house deposit! Yay! I did see a thread where people were supporting each other but cant find it! I'm planning to save £500 pcm and I need at least £18500! So far I've got £750 in an isa and £750 in my instant savings for my rental house move coming up in Sept.
I'm also learning to drive and need to save up for a car, so my plan is to put £500 towards the house deposit pcm then anything else can go to the instant savings to cover car/move etc. Can anyone point me towards the savings thread? Or want to join me in this one? J x

And on benefits mmmmm.

The kids on it as well

What counts as benefits? I get carers allowance for
My son as he is disabled and severe disability element of tax credits. Will this be reduced with the budget cuts? I'm
confused! X
