It does of course limit my use of the car as well (but I have 100 miles per year during this high risk period factored into the premium, so it is not as if the car is uninsured during these times should circumstances dictate using it) as Coverbox have no way of differentiating who is driving the car.

I live in Reading, to get a house anywhere around this area, it is about £150k for a studio flat. Unless you are going to rent out the flat, you don't buy flats as they are not a good investment, so you can understand why young people in the M4 Corridor especially find it hard to get on the property ladder.
But it is just one of those things, what can you do, the jobs are in the South East, the supply of houses is low, but demand is very high. Simple economics. No point in whinging about how hard life is, better to just get on with it and find a job that means you can save your earnings, hence for me, this means working at sea which gives me tax free money. Makes life a lot easier to get a sizeable deposit quickly...and be able to afford life's little luxuries.

Thanks all the same though, the prices have come down a lot this year, so my information was evidently somewhat out of date. Sorry about that.

This is basically my plan now.
Going to save up while renting cheaply (relative) for now and eventually get a mortgage for something decent. its just the money you spend for what you actually get thats so ridiculous, and we all sort of pray it keeps going up and getting even more and more stupid so that we can make some money out of the blooming thing if we buy a house
I dont see the point in doing it just to live in a shit hole. (Also in the Reading area btw so I know where you're coming from).

You live ridiculously close to me don't you? I live in Mortimer, by Grazeley, Tadley and Burghfield.
I have seen you a few times drive through Tadley by AWE.

Yep - I live in Tadley right now and work in Reading and take the backroads past Mortimer/Grazeley!
We should meet up for a cheeky drink in the sun sometime if you like

Yes, she's cute, yes she's weaning, there's food everywhere. No, I don't need your weaning anecdotes, can we talk about something more interesting? Oh. Obviously not then.....

I shouldn't have gone. I am not remotely interested in other peoples' kids and when people with kids get together that tends to be what they talk about.

When we see friends without kids i make a point of telling her to stop talking about our son all the time.
She agrees, and then manages it for all of 2 minutes.
