    :wave: Ours was 219.7 % of our annual income before tax.

    (I think... because I'm rubbish at working out %s)

    It is now a much more affordable :rolleyes: 73% of our annual joint income before tax and lenders were (and are) still falling over themselves to give us more debt. :confused:

    Love Jacks xxx :D
