Sooo... J spoke to a mortgage advisor on the phone, and she reckons they can lend him MORE than enough that would get us into a decent sized house! In fact, with what they could lend us, plus what we've got in savings, we could buy a 3 bedroom house, and still have like 10-16k left in savings!!! AND still have our flat! I'm sooo excited!

That much left in savings would be great - some extra money to buy things ready for when we have a baby, also furnishing the new place - would need new sofa (heh), and maybe some dining furniture :)

Heh, our downstairs neighbour, Craig, is selling his place (or renting out, something), so I looked up on the internet to see if his one was there... well I didn't see HIS one, but saw one that was practically identical, and woah - if we WERE selling.... we'd have enough to buy a HUGE four bedroom house!

But hey, we can get this one, then make money from renting it, then maybe move again later, if where we move to becomes too small :)

But anyway, since Jonathan's fairly confident on how much we can borrow to, I've phoned up an estate agent in Irthlingborough (up near Northampton) to arrange some viewings. They had 3 other houses we might be interested in too, so we're going to see FOUR houses in one day up there. :D I'm soooo excited! I'm practically bouncing off the walls right now :D Haha this is weird, but I feel like a little kid on Christmas Eve, yet I suddenly feel so grown up, more than I have in well, forever ;)
