Awimb I've gone a little obsessed with a few things.

[Pat Vegas]

I check my credit score daily. It doesn't change but I am watching it like a hawk :-(
Also become obsessed with this weight loss stuff.
Saving money. I get annoyed when I spend money even for lunch.

Makes a change from my trivial worries of years past.

[The Rob2]

well saving money is a very useful obsession to have

Prudence is one thing, but niggardliness is the most appalling of vices, f.

Take care not to decscend to meanness.

It depends - I was in the supermarket this morning. Guy at the front of the queue starting arguing with the cashier about the two cartons of grapefruit (pink) juice he was buying. Going on about them being on offer, refusing to buy them, demanding to see the manager, holding everything up. It was a 20 cent difference. **** - him not you

[redgunamo]

Oh, I see what you mean. Sorry :homer:

No, that was insensitive of me and I apologise for any distress caused, particularly in light of my previous in this matter.

I shall book myself on a diversity awareness course forthwith.

It's all to buy a place. It's looking rather grim at the moment. I think we will wait a little while longer.

It's funny you see a listing for London and just by looking at the price you know it's going to be in Edmonton. I will never move there. Other areas outside are affordable but then you are not better off because of the transport cost.

Shared ownership can get ****ed and any other schemes I see.

Still with my frugal ways I was able to purchase my new telly spur of the moment.

I feel as man I owe it to my wife to be able to purchase a property as our home. Also I am 35 this year if I am gonna get into a mental mortgage better do it now.

Would it not make sense to buy somewhere in the 'burbs to get a foot on the ladder, as it were?

I don't really understand property prices any more. How much for a 2 bedroomed flat in Islington? £500k? £100 down and mortgage £400k? Howe much would such a mortgage be per month?

Yes. Ideally, of course, you want all that sorted *before* you get fitted up by some bird and the vicar pronounces sentence :-\

Oh god yes. I know a bar here that never charges to get in but every so often advertises an "Eintritt Frei" night just to quadruple the number of German customers it gets in

That's what I want to do. 400k would be about £2k a month over 25 years. I am of the view if I am going to spend that much. rather get a house outside of london.

I don't know if I have access to that much money however. probably 300k

Blimey, it all sounds a lot.

Mind you, when I bought my first house in 1990, I had a £60k mortgage and that cost almost £800 per month. Which was tricky, since I earned about £800 a month.

Happy days.

If it keeps going the way it's going I can't really see how anybody in the London area being able to afford anything without getting a huge salary or inheriting some monies or cash. no matter how the economy is doing places are being built all over the place.
There was a new development in Palmers green I inquired about. 2 bed room flat 592k :-( for a place next to a petrol station and the North circular.



It's all very depressing.

So why buy a Go-Pro camera to fillum yourself driving? :watson:

[Ash]

How much for a 2 bedroomed flat in Islington? £500k??

:hehe:

Our one-bed is almost that now. When we bought the difference between a one and two bed was about 30-40k. Now it's nearer £250k

I'm looking at a 7 bedroom barn conversion near Penrith at £700k... it's very pretty but not quite the right area.

It's nice. I'm wondering whether to sell up and retire.

[Pokster]

It's nice. I'm wondering whether to sell up and retire.

I'm sure it is lovley,I'm also sure you can retire to a lovely house with less bedrooms

[Pokster]

It's nice. I'm wondering whether to sell up and retire.

If it has 7 bedrooms could you run it as a B&B (well let v run it and you go off walking)

[Sir C]

'Fewer' bedrooms, ffs.

[Sir C]

Strangers shítting in my toilets? I think not.

[SWv2]

I did wonder about the 7 bedrooms.

You could have orgies and such like.
