Default $3 to the pound!! whats going on!

Sorry couldn't resist an April fool

They have just got a load of people on Radio 2 saying that France and Germany are joining the pound - people actually called in it was dead funny!

Happy April

Sorry! Just thought there was a lack of humour today! Actually propbably should have picked a less sensitive area to joke about!

What rate are you waiting for? We took 2.41 the day before it went up so I was kicking myself a bit. Done anything else on the buying a house front yet?

Yeah would love to actually live in it!- but only reason we can afford such an expensive house is because they will pay off loads of the mortgage! So they will probably have it for the next 18 months or so! As long as we can move in then it will be fine as we don't get there till Sept. ooh can't wait now!..hey maybye we will be neighbours!

It really hit home to us when we sold up and moved into this rented house - which I hate it's just not home!

I was thinking the same thing...it seems strange to me, I thought only recently they were talking about a lower passmark for people prepared to go regional. I just feel bloody sorry for anyone on here not in the system it's a hard break.

Keep trying you guys there is always a way!
