We Bought A House!!!!!!!! Woohooo!!!!
After working our guts off for the last 2 1/2 years having returned to the UK with nothing. we saved enough to buy a house.
It feels bloody marvelous. The mortgage/insurance/bills will actually work out about the same or cheaper than we have paid renting, so another bonus.
It's a 3 bed terraced that looks tiny from the front, but is huge inside. 15 ft dining room etc. The garden is 150 ft long!!!! Best of all we are getting a loft conversion done which will make it a 5 bed house. No more agueing for the kids on who tidies up whos mess.... LOL
Well Just thought I would share the good news. Life is good..

Wonderful news HM!
You and your family truly deserve it after all the hassles you have had over the past few years.
Will your children have to change schools or can they continue at the same ones?
Sending you a big ((((hug))))
