Thank you!!!
I think it's doable with £3k as well, though you'd need to be quite careful with spending.
£5k would be really comfortable though. Ofcourse it all depends on the lifestyle in the end.
I live in the centre of Edinburgh. I'm 44 and pathetic. Let me know if you want: 07754 953333
Similarly food wise, you can’t go wrong with Wings, hidden down a side ally on the Royal mile.
