Well, discouraging news this week. We were all set to bid on a house this Saturday, but the banks have given us an almighty "NO". Even though the deposit will be huge, and we can clearly make the repayments, we're being rejected purely on the fact that I am at home with the kids and James has 4 dependents. If I get a crappy job and we end up having LESS money due to child care, we'd be fine apparently. Just because I'd be officially working again. There's no logic to their rules/red tape at all.
I'm trying not to be too pissed off, but failing miserably. Really, if we can afford the repayments, what do they care what I'm doing?! Sigh. So the upshot is I'll be looking for work now. Just a couple of days a week, and hoping I can find childcare for Immy. I'd really hoped to put it off til she turned 2, but I guess it's not to be.

Oh no, that's a real bugger! It would be so disappointing for you, especially since you found a house you really liked.
