BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Here are my notes from the BOE meeting:
Inflation is rising
But we're heading for a recession
But inflation is rising
Recession!
Inflation!
Recession!
Inflation!

Fck it. Let's do nothing and go for a pint.
Good idea.

and put it on the expenses sheet!!!

Which way did you want them to go?

lol my wallet says down

Please could you explain the word "Savings" ?? I havent come across this word before.

When is this housing crash really going to kick in?  Some of us are waiting to pick up a bargain.

One's accumulated wealth from property, income and chattels


FTW

Now.

Not yet time to buy though.

I'm 'saving' my credit card bill for another month.

give it 6-9 months minimum Andrew

Good news that it didn't go up for me.  I'm in the middle of re-mortgaging and whilst the figures have all been agreed, I'd like them to remain steady until it goes through, it's been a big enough increase as it is.

out current deal expires in august and the new payments are well fk my life!!!!

Yep, we went from 4.95 to 6.09 :(  The variable rate that NR wanted to give me was lolable.

Mine we similar so we decided to pay off the mortgage instead of keeping it as a nest egg for later life. Unless you have decent equity in your house the deals are often alot worse than that quoted.

Yes, I'm waiting until I see evicted families standing out in the street crying before moving in. :)

Got decent equity, sadly not a decent amount to pay it all off.  To be mortgage free would be so nice. 

One day.......in 16 years lol

Property auctions FTW.

Lot 3 that's guided at £65k-£70k sold new a few years back for closer to £200k....

Housing crash FTW.  Then I'll be able to buy a bigger house than I've got now.

what's the motor trade like these days?

Autotrader is raking it in...but then they have top staff and the best website and business out there...miles ahead of the competition, so they are.

Not noticed a huge change over the past 6 months to be honest.  There's a trend towards smaller and more economical cars in general, but those that can afford more expensive cars still have that disposable income and so still seem to be buying.

More and more people turning to leasing rather than outright purchase.  

Allegedly, the cost of motoring has actually decreased over the past 10 years:  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7496381.stm - I think that's largely bull though, and probably reflects the fact that more people are looking at smaller or more economical cars.  It's a study from the RAC, who obviously have a vested interest.

I LOLd.

We spookily have too much in common.     Had the same letter as you it seems!

we squeezed 5.99 from the halifax but sheesh its still over 2k a month

chief ecomomist of capital economics on C4 now predicting a 40% drop in prices by end 2010. 2 other economists on there, 1 reckons 35% the other 25%.


they seem to agree you shouldn't buy for 2 years

renting FTW (I hope so anyway as ive put buying on hold!)

Pitching a tent on Red Dogs land for 2 years FTW ... ask him nicely and he wont charge you much ground rent.

me too until mortgage repayments become cheaper than monthy rent again.  So sick I fell off the property ladder - when I was 19 I had a three bed house in greater London, £200 a month mortgage :(

Surely its not going to be a pretty place to be living if that happens - even for those of us who might be able to start off by picking up a bargain.

May have to look back into emigrating to Aus!

Yeah my folks said the 80's were cheap as chips...    ;scarymoment;

 ;nemesis;  I said when I was 19.  2004 obv.

you're 23?..Crickey that must have been some paper round  ;scarymoment;
