    Your savings are fantastic PAP. You'll have that deposit in no time and who knows what will happen in the mean time. If you'd of told me 5 years ago I'd be married with my own house I'd of never believed you!

  • Crossed posts Yorkie. Well this is it, it could go either way but just having nearly a months wages saved is amazing :j Once i get up to £1k I will be very happy as I splashed that amount of savings before xmas. Onwards and upwards from there.

    A flat :rotfl:well not the whole 100k but at least half of it beacuse on the pittance I get now, I cant get a sole mortgage :rolleyes: Have 8 years to get there ~ and I will get there :j

    Well done PaP - an admirable aim and I wish you well. :T :T

    Have you looked at 'part-ownership'? :confused:

  • bunny, at the momment I am making an order for 100 wedding invites so really well. Not marketing the site yet because of this order but I will email past customers (mainly one from here) to ask if they would pop a sign up in a local shop and they can have a free card or such. Redone my website a few weeks ago so it looks swish now :rotfl:

    isom, :j cant wait hehe, I owe you a pm btw, I will do it now :D

    rog, Thanks hun. I am not saying thats all I want. Things change, but someday I would like a place I can call home, my home. Also if I have a 'bigger' aim I think I will be less likely to get to a point and splurge it all. Rog I have to a point but I though you can only do that if you are working in the public sector ie doctor/nurse/policeman etc etc. I did see a newbuilt flat in the paper as part owner ship but that was nearly the price of a regular flat :( I think its something I need to look into. Thanks
  • How comes the bus cards have doubled this month Pap? Good that you do have the cushion tho!
    Hows the invitations coming along?
    Any sign of your brother moving out yet?
