    Just a quick one once my debt is paid . I’m going to start saving for our first house deposit , is there a similar thread for this on here at all :money:

    There's a forum dedicated to being mortgage free so there must be one for saving deposits. Have you tried doing a search in the 'house buying, renting, selling' forum? ;) Good luck with your house savings...I hope it isn't too long before you can focus all your attention into building up your deposit. :)

    Afternoon all, haven't been updating this thread enough but...all debt paid off except my CC now and after a quick call I've now got that interest free for the remainder of the year so I'm now totaling:


    £1868/2268


    It feels so close I can almost touch it!
