    I'm finally about to depart this thread :D

    Put down a deposit for a bargin 1bed 13th floor flat in the city with great views for only £125k. 5minutes walk to work and 5mins to train station to get back to family home!

    I've just applied for a mortgage and hope they can oversee the fact I've only been in my job for a week. Otherwise my parents/grandparents will kindly give me the full amount until they will give me a mortgage.

    Can't wait!

    Well Done to those who have brought recently, must be exciting to finally be there!
    Haven't saved much this month, am up to £1603, decided to put everything towards paying off my overdraft, it's interest free but I'm going to save the money in a separate account and just keep it there, and then my car broke down last week. Probably won't save much for the rest of the month either as insurance, tax, service and MOT are all due at the end of the month :(
