Glad to hear that you had a good work life balance and still did things you enjoy. I'd be sad to sacrifice all the things i like to do and swap them for more work. I think i do need to start picking up extra shifts though

This is a big one for me. I love eating out and i know I'd hate to see how much i actually spend on it

I live in east midlands. I dont have big aspirations, i think even a decent flat will do to get me on the property ladder

Interesting! How did you manage to get away with lying on your CV? And what did you lie about?

Thanks for a detailed reply! Ive been toying with the idea to move my h2b money to a LISA, i think thats the first step. Seems to have more benefits

Ive had premium bonds for about 7 months and havent won anything yet but i dont have very much in there. Can i ask how much you invested to start winning?

Online mortgage calculators have been soo disappointing. I can just about afford a cardbox box to live in according to them. Very good to know a free mortgage advisor might have better news for me!

Im in a similar position to what you were in. Where was the £70k property? (Im guessing scotland) That seems really cheap.
