As above me and my girlfriend amanda oops "fiance" just bought our first place today , just a 2 bedroom flat , realy nice and is only 1.5 years old too , feels so weird but hopefully iL enjoy being skint all the time moving in on the 27th july and am excited but crapping my pants

Planning to stay there for at least 3 years, mainly just to get on the propery ladder as its almost getting out of reach for the first time buyers

 

It is scarey and its a big commitment but theres nothing like your own space and its an investment, good luck fella enjoy

3DR for sale lol

 

Thanks troops , im shiting myself tbh my girlfriend turned into a mad women buying knives and plates and shit already

Stoo its in saltcoats about a 5-10 minute walk from where i am just now

 

Not till late july anyway

 

Nice one roberto .

 

 

Good lad, still should have got a place first! Like me

Told you that you wouldn't need to sell the 3dr!

Congrats mate!

 

Thanks fellas , the words big commitment and scary dont fil me with great joy lol

Common there must be good bits ehh , like walking round in the buff ehh is that just me

 

Know the feelin mate, bought my first house bout 2 months ago! And 2 months in im lovin it ...its worth bein skint!

 

As above - I know what that feels like. I moved into my first place, 2bed house, beginning of April

Skint as fuck, but in a good way If that makes sense

Soooooooooo nice coming home after a hard/shit day and not having anyone in the gaff to bug you! Peace n quiet, my mates can pop over anytime they want (so long as they bring beer lol) and I can just chill

Just wait to you start doing "the shop" - when you go Tesco/Sainsbury/Asda/whatever for the first time and realise all the little nick-nacks you didn't rwelise you hadn't got

Spent over a grand on stuff in my first month - not slowing down a whole lot now either

 

Rab that engagment pressie i got yous will come in handy now

Its still in my kitchen tho

Good on you mate

 

Good luck mate

It is scarey at first but its great me and my other half moved out a year and half ago was told thats it you will always be skint and tbh its not that bad the 1st few months was hard but it gets easier

AAAAWWWW FUCK now a need to go get one, why couldnt you just sleep in the cossie rab



A need to win the lottery or sell ma fart box to pay for a house



A can barely keep a cossie ffs




Fuck it tho a house cant do 100mph sideways

 

Well said jonny

 

A cant do that in my cossie anyway so

 

Ohh

Cossie V`s house !! what would you choose

why oh why cant we all have both

 

Mate you forgot to add a holiday and prada shoes, and armani shirts, and ...................................so on an so on

 

Good luck in your new home

I've just got my first house by myself, I love it, but I've had to use loads of my holidays waiting in for bloody gas men, electricians, plasterers, etc

 

Welcome to no cossies and buying your clothes from asda george section buddy

 

PMSL

 

Congrats mate. I bought my first not long back earlier this year is a good feeling. Just in the process of buying a 2nd as we speak.

Got to make sure i get a nice retirment by the time i'm 50 with a few houses under my belt

 

Cheers peeps

Yeah john its good to get on as early as possible really , wish i had done it 3 years ago tbh i really do , but least thats it now and just need to get into it and see how it goes, the missus is already planning this and that for it and shes of her head already , basically i think , flat screen , lickof paint , ps3 and lie and play it in my y-fronts tbh , but shes got way differnent ideas

Its all good though and gives her something to do now as we were working and still living at home , its not a good look tbh

 

kitchenware is simple
go to ikea, buy 4 of the following:
big plates
small plates
big bowls
small bowls
knifes
forks
big spoons
small spoons

and thats your cutlery sorted for about Ł3

don't forget that if you are going to be sharing it with your mrs then why do you need to go and get mega expensive stuff? if you want to do that go the resteraunt every evening and use their fancy plates and spoons

more el cheapo house buying tips to follow tesco's toothpaste and stuff thats on offer always saves a few quid, just make sure you need it first and have space to put it, just because they are flogging 24 pack walkers for Ł2 doesn't mean you hsuld be buying 5 packs, like me

 

Moved into mine 2months ago. well after redoing the whole house now i'm skint But its worth it. though the miss' did leave me on tuesday . Luckily its in my name i guess and i own everything....

Crowds.

 

take a piccy of your bank balance now and compare it to this time next year

 

goodluck mate

you'll soon start sqeaking when you walk around the shops

 

Its actually not too bad its only 1.5 years old so fixtures are all practically new, and the kitchen stuff is combined into the cupboards if that makes sense , like open a cupboard and heh its a fridge same with dish washer and washing machine ,and this is all staying and so is the cooker as its the same idea sort of , the bathrooms minted , tiled from top to bottom with shower and bath , real wooden floors in hallway etc , doors are all minted as well , so not a great deal to do maybe lick of paint here and there as its neutral colours wont be too bad

Shit listen to me

 

Surely i cant have less than -200 as thats what it probably is just now

Oh and what bank account i have about 4 help !!!!!

 

i lost 5 figures from my bank and my focus rs

 

Ive not got 5 figures or a focus rs so im fooked mate

Probably lose the cossie though and buy something sensible for the bird until wee get on our feet

 

haha gud luck though, my first purchase fell through and i lost all fees etc . selfish bitch commited suicide 2weeks before completion. Second went through ok though . running a clio williams atm and i ahve to say its great fun lol

 

Quitter!
