Wheels of the wagon have fallen off fallen off..

[BeMyLilBaby]

here we are! ROll call Please!

lol sounds like a plan!

Just dunno if we'll get a mortage. I dont think we earn enough.
Saying that I do want to open a gothic clothes shop in Whitby. Its what we want to be doing in about 5 years time. I just dont know a thing about starting a business.

Posted same thread in pregnancy topic as had no replies in health, here am now getting all carried away in my head, which is silly because the chances of it being pregnancy is sooooooooo low

Kay:

Link 1: good size but looks like it needs a fair bit of money structual work.

Link 2: very nice, but quite small, though would the sea views make up for that?

Link 3: my favourite, doesn't look like it needs much work, it has more living space (playroom!!!) nice garden, I like that one, though there are no room sizes so it might not be as spacious as it sounds...

See thats the problem. I love number 1 as its 4 bedrooms so we wouldnt need to move again really. But its the one that needs the most work.

Number 3 has planning permission for another room.

There is also this one.

Im having to go to Whitby on friday to get a birthday present so I might go have a look round all of them.

Link 4: needs a new kitchen, and re-decorating, but it is a much better price, would make me wonder why the price is so much lower though? Do you know the area well? Also there isn't an awful lot of living space. Where would you put all the toys/junk?

Link 3 still my fav, and getting better with the thought of planning permission!

I just told dh that number 4 would need a new kitchen and those blooming green stripes have got to go!!

I dont know it that well. We were wondering about the low price but I dont know how long it has been on the market.

I like number 3, it has a great garden and the fact we can extend it is swinging it. Also the location is perfect.

Right I am off shopping cos if I dont go now I never will.

Talk later everyone.xx

I think your best bet before you get too excited is to make some enquiries with mortgage lenders and see if/how much you would get. There is no point looking at £200,000 properties if you could only get £150,000. And remember that most banks/lenders are really cracking down at the moment, some aren't even offering re-mortgages to existing customers whose fixed rates have expired. And the fact that you would both have to start new jobs wouldn't make it any easier, they like to see that you have been in the jobs for as long as possible, and if there are any probationary periods to get over, that will only go against it even more.

TBH, I am not a finance expert, but I think you might be better off renting, at first. Until you both are happy in secure jobs, and until you know for sure that Witby is for you. Some places look lovely for holidays and trips but to live there can be dire. It would be awful for you to make it through all the mortgage process, then find 6 months later that actually you don't like it, and then not be able to sell due to the way the market is going at the moment.

Besides, if you rented for a while, and decided you wanted to stay, by then the house prices will have come down even more, so your mortgage wouldn't be so high.

Also I bet you could rent somewhere nice for about £500-£700 a month (depending on how nice you want it!) but a mortgage for £200,000 (by my very rough calculations) will cost you around £1200-£1400 a month. That is a lot of money!

Hey BMLB...is this you officially off the wagon then

I have just looked back at my last BFP 'logistics' and saw that I didn't get a BFP until CD33... That would be sunday . No way I can hold out testing again til then... Still no symptoms at all.

Kay - how exciting thinking of a move! Still...I do suspect you are just taking your mind of those crisps!! Well done!

We had a healthy lunch yesterday and today is chicken and rice, so I am feeling virtuous . However, I also feel like the proverbial side of a house so that helps motivate me...

Watched "snakes on a plane" last night...

Oh, I do like that last rental one...

We have looked at renting and just cant find anywhere in Whitby that we like. Saltburn is nice though so will have a look there. I do love the first house, its gorgeous. Thanks Nat.

The big problem with renting is that most people say no pets(which is why we're so desperate to get our own house) and no decorating. I HATE magnolia and I am sick of every bloody room being magnolia!!

yup teuch i am off the wagon as off monday!! exciting/daunting! i am hopin AF will come quickly and then on with the show as it where lol did u like snakes on a plane? i thought the "wilbur" as nats DH calls it (Lol) being bitten at start was funny lol

Kays im the opposite i like magnolia lol but the pet part would be a prob for me, however our landlord doesnt mind ours

LOL Teuch Snakes on a Plane, we found it absolutely hillarious, though I think we have a warped sense of humour, why a snake clamping down on both nipples and a willy one after the other is funny I don't know!

When we were in rented none of the landlords minded us decorating, as long as if we used strong colours (which we didn't) we re-painted before we left, or lost some of the deposit to cover the cost of re-painting. Pet's is a bit stickier, more rural properties seem to be open to pets. I can't remember what pet's you said you had but I don't think many would mind you asking if it is OK to have a caged or tanked sort of pet. I think they worry more about cats and dogs type pets, they cause the damage/smell!

OK maybe our SOH isn't quite as warped as I thought.....!!

Oh and, BB off the wagon, exciting!!!

We dont have any pets but we are both desperate for a dog. We both had dogs growing up and we really want one.

I suppose you have to look at it from a landlords POV, if I was renting a house out, I wouldn't want a new puppy in there weeing and chewing everything.

How about a fish until a dog is more practical....? No? A mouse?

We're getting some fish but they aren't the same as a dog really.

I do think that unless we find somewhere we can have a dog then renting isn't for us.

Laydeees - still no period!

Ooooh exciting Popcorn. When was/is af due?

Kays my landlord allows our cats but we have to cover any damage upon leaving, if we had a dog we would of had to surrender 100 on leaving to have carpets steam cleaned which is fair enough i think, WHy is it you particularly want to move? what about guinea pigs, indoors? our are (and they're much happier indoors in general) they run around like lil dogs... mine actually terrorise our cats when they're out lol would you want a puppy or a dog? rescue centres are a gd place to start very need worhty doggies, my cats were rescues too

/NJ our SOH is similar i found it hilarious lol yup this time next week i'l be free and wagon-less... oh-er!

Pop have you tested???

We need somewhere bigger and downstairs. We live in a first floor flat and its so hard carrying everything upstairs and having to wake up ds when we get home.

We have a tiny kitchen and tiny every room really and we want a garden.

We both love Whitby and think we'd love living there.

Im also trying to persuade my mum to let us build a house in her huge garden.

We want a puppy, if it was just dh and me we would get a rescue dog no questions asked but Im not risking it with ds around. You can never be sure what they will be like.
