Thats my thoughts. I pay just short of a mortgage i imagine. Id love to buy and have a flat above. Thats the plan once my lease runs out/get bored of tit landlord. Current shops tiny and a bit damp like most in Hull.

Hull's full of council flats and that, but theres mega big lists to get in, and there naff areas. Would rather stay at home for a while yet. Dont like the thought of living on my own too! Not ready to grow up yet! One step at a time me thinks!

Still got a small pot of money left for future mortgage, dont want to dip into it. Unluckily i live in the part of UK which house prices havnt slipped(cos there low already but still, high to us!)

Waiting for the right property to come up (or another shop for sale!)
