The problem seems to be a desperate attempt to retain all the London advantages but at Northumberland prices.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

What are the advantages of London? I lived there for several years - with London weighting in my salary - and was skint the entire time. I miss the friends I had down there and the art galleries, but the standard of living we can afford up here more than makes up for it.

Wenchy, how can you not afford a house on two professional wages, when lenders will give 5x income without proof of income? Are you only looking in central London or extremely cautious with your money?

Suburbia, and I don't want a flat which is what we would be able to afford. I'm quite resigned to the fact that we can't afford to buy here now. We are staying put for the time being because of my work and medical issues with a plan to move to Wales when those things are sorted and when Mr Wench can get a job teaching in a school there.

Yes but what are they? The four reaons for moving to the Cardiff area are

i) Close to Mr Wench's family
ii) Good airport with links to Malaga, hence close to my family
iii) Cheapish housing and a better standard of living
iv) Near the sea

Were there any plus points to offset that list?
