Found myself in a position of moving out of my partners house and now renting (£800!!! A month)
I had taken leave of my senses I think but anyway it's a very nice house and my 2 teenagers are very pleased.
But now 3 weeks in I've decided I'm going to buy when this 6 month lease is completed.
I have no savings now as the house was unfurnished so I bought everything.
So I'm challenging myself to save as much money as possible in the next 5 months,it will be notenough for a deposit- I think I need £10,000. My mum lives local but only 2 bed house but has said once my lease is up we could live with her short term to accumulate more cash.
I can work extra too in my job. Both my children have part time jobs so they are pretty self sufficient apart from college dinners- I pay for them. I do have £1,500 on a credit card also.
Have you mumsnetters got any good ideas to help my challenge.
