    That's me hit my target. Around 3 weeks late but who cares, I've done it!!! No houses on the market that I want to see at the moment but thankfully more and more are going on each day. Now that the deposit target is met I've started the 'new car' fund :D

    Thank you :j Yeah my deposit is quite low compared to others on the board that live in London etc. Thankfully property prices are realistic around here - newish 2 bed semi's are around the 100k mark.

    Well done and what an achievement, certainly spurs me on but God I can't wait until I can do the "Ive done it" post.

    I just want my total to go up again, sick of looking at the same balance now on the internet banking. Roll on pay day 2 days and counting.....................:mad:
    2013 - Finally got the house we' ve worked so hard to get......now it's a life of diy and no money....couldn't be happier 😊
