We were now into 1978, and plenty of changes were going to happen this Year for me and Susan.
I was still working and going to College on day release, and Susan was about 2 months pregnant!
We started thinking about where we were going to live when the Baby was born, I cleary remember earning £21 per week, and the average Price of a small House was about £5,000, so we needed help from somewhere!
Both sets of Parents said they would help us out if the others were helping, so we started looking at small Houses for sale, we eventually found a nice little house in our Town, it was valued at £4,000 so we needed a Mortgage, we spoke to several different Lenders, and they all said the same.......
as I was still a Trainee Chef and not Qualified, nobody would lend us anything!
If by this time I had been a Qualified Chef, I wondered what would have happened to us, our lives would have probably been completely different!
Anyway to cut a long story short, neither of the Parents would help us either, mainly because they didnt like each other, so we were left to get on with finding other ways to find somewhere to live with our soon to be born Baby!
As it turned out Susan's younger Brother had a friend who in a few months time had a Private Rented Property to let, so we were sorted! or we thought we were!
