The Confession BoxFinally She Got the KeysJulie finally got the keys.After five years of being told no, single mum, self-employed, rejection after rejection, she walks into her own house for the first time… and immediately realises she owns absolutely nothing to put in it.The excitement quickly turns into “where do I even start?” as the reality of an empty shell hits. No furniture. No sofa. Just a kettle, a toaster, and an air fryer on the way.They break down the bidding war, the panic over new builds, the small €2k jumps that decide your fut...
