A House to call our own - When to cash in other investments...

So a couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about our dream to own a home, the challenges we face and how we will be charting the journey as we go, that post can be found Here.

In this topic I thought I would talk about when to cash in other investments,.... ultimately cash Is whats needed to buy a house - however I feel a small amount of gold is prudent in this day and age, with governments constant printing of money It might be have a good idea to have some items with real actual value, What we have here is some 22ct gold sovereigns, a 1/4 ounce gold Britannia and a couple of 18ct gold rings...

Total value is around £2750 so a nice little collection but nothing to get to excited over.

I could sell the lot and buy more premium bonds - this would make me hit my first 10k saved.

But I am leaning towards holding this as gold....
