    I don't know.....hope so.....I've now paid £250 to the solicitor and £500 for the mortgage application, gulp!

    KW has asked me to apply for an allotment the second we move in, as there's a mahoosive amount of them in the town, about 5 minutes' walk from our housie :)

    I had to buy a present for DD to give out to her secret Santa recipient tomorrow and finally broke into a note, so the change under £1 has gone into the sealed tin!

    Well done.

    If you are free can you offer advice with a problem on my thread. I'm right in the guano.

    I was happy too soon....the bank are now groaning about my pension income in 22 years' time, and it could all be off again :(

    OMG. Poor you. Is there a way round this? I was lucky my parents stepped in to help me.
