My kids are all self employed, earning good money but the lenders seem to run a mile.
Only one couple has been offered a mortgage and between the two of them (both employed in the same business), only £120.000 ......down here you wont even get a share in a flat for that .....they have a lot of savings/ too but not enough

£120.00 that really is not a lot.... most people spend more in Asda on a Saturday morning! x

Of course now I am emotionally attached to it so its still here inside its original cardboard box.

Worst still when I went through my stash I only had one other night cream and it was a bit dubious so that went out instead and now I am using a day cream as a night cream.

If you like the container, decant the other cream into it... or THROW IT AWAY!

Good timing as well as Errant son has almost eaten up the stash of spicy pepperami sticks that no one else wanted

These were the ones I got months back even though I had no idea what I was going to do with them ...

Please he has come in handy!

house prices where I am are getting stupid, we will never get a mortgage, I'm gutted. we would need £70,000 according to the bank just for a deposit. I'm one of the lucky ones that has a council house so I mustn't grumble. houses up my road 10 years ago were 85,000 approx now you have to double that. we don't even have anywhere in front of our house to put a car as it has a small green (waste of space) between us and a bungalow opposite.

The good news is that the missing Karcher and the charger for the trimmer have now turned up. I found the charger quite by accident after I had given up looking - I opened a kitchen drawer which I use to keep small kitchen stuff (graters, whisks, kitchen string etc ) which won't fit in the usual cabinet and there was the charger. I don't know what it was doing there - there is nothing else electrical in that drawer - and its the last place I would have considered storing it. DH found the Karcher(complete with charger) in the garage in a cupboard he uses to store bulky tools - again accidentally when he was putting a saw away. The jury is still out on which of us was daft enough to put it in there.

That might be my fault, the chargers for both my vax minivac and my window vac both live in my tea towel drawer, just so they don't get used by my OH for something else.

My DD and her fianc! were told they would need a £90,000 deposit here, so they upped sticks and moved to Yorkshire, currently staying with his mum and step dad (who are as mad as us) and saving the £8000 they will need to cover the deposit and fees on a good sized 3 bed house with garden that they will be able to afford up there.

It is ridiculous, we could flog what we have here and buy two three bed houses in Yorkshire and have enough money left to live on for quite a while.

Double dare you!

But be careful where you buy.... you tend to get what you pay for!

Could you not purchase the council house?

OH and I was talking yesterday about life aims etc. we started off with the 'get the house finished and start to enjoy life' to 'oh hell we will have to help the kids with deposits' (if we are ever going to get rid of them)...... I think it is a lose lose situation!

Thanks
