The South is disgusting for house prices. I'm sure I mentioned it at the time but when I was in London for the NFL one of my mates who moved down there last March was showing us round central London and we were seeing adverts in windows for shitey little flats going for £250k and upwards when you'd be paying about £70k for that up here, if that. Central London isn't the most balanced example but it's ridiculous the difference in price.

Flats are like £500 My current one is £600 (just me) and the one before that was £815 (between 2 of us... and when we left they raised it to £950!) Could get a little cheaper (not much, mind) but I'd have to live in one of the poverty areas and travel more than 15 minutes to get to work.

Aye I fucking love the idea of living in central London, actually thought I'd come across some sensible-ish priced places in London at some new builds but they were something like 25% ownership's and it was in the small print.

Yeah I've got that to do. Iirc I can do it in three months right? Or 31 days or however it works out. January 31st. Feb anytime. March 1. She's got hers set up but there was a problem with mine and I had to close it and reopen. I'll do that tonight. Thanks though.

Aye, it's payments per calendar month.
Sucks the max payment per month is so low. Pretty decent you can get it per person though.
Saw it at work 3 months ago but the intranet had a woeful explanation and I assumed I couldn't have one because I had an active ISA.

I can't complain at getting any free money at all but selfishly its a shame this didn't come a few years ago. It's a brilliant scheme. Would highly recommend any youngster on here getting involved. Even if you're not planning on moving out soon. You can put in as little as you want. Take it out when yoy want. You get 4% in some places which is huge compared to normal ISAs. And it lasts for years I think. (10 at least)

this is far too grown up a conversation for this place, whilst we're on the subject of adult stuff...
my grandad died the other day, but we never had a relationship at all. i dont even know what he looks like. he was ill with cancer for a while so we've known it was coming. my mum has proper clammed up about it all, not sure if she wants to go to the funeral or not. going to book the night off work incase we do go, i want to but im not going without her cos it doesnt feel right since we never really knew each other

My view is if you never saw him whilst alive why would you bother when he's dead

just a family thing, more for my mum in any case. i think she'd regret it massively if she doesnt go and say goodbye.
