    I'm pretty happy with our brokers and hopefully now that the CCJ is gone it'll be easier! Thank you though!

  • That's a shame about the mortgage! But congratulations on the CCJ! You must feel great. I'm sure you'll get a mortgage sorted soon

    Well done on getting the debt down over last few months and hope your broker sorts another mortgage for you soon. Great news that the CCJ has dropped off your record.

    6k down, be a bit more by the end of the month but yay. 

    Halifax have done their valuation today so hopefully by the end of the week we might know what's happening. I really, really hope we get the house, it'll be a dream come true! 

    Hope everyone has had a good start to the week, today was a no spend day too 🎉
