STACEY DELVE
Stacey joined K&H in 2007 as an Accounts Assistant and is now an Account Manager with her own client portfolio.

You’ve recently bought your first home?
Yes, with my partner Steve. We just moved in a few weeks ago.

Did you find it a traumatic experience?
YES! I won’t be doing that again any time soon. I would say – before you sign the contracts, make sure everything that should be working is working! We had problems with the heating, electricity, bathroom leaking and a very unsafe staircase.

Will you be cooking Christmas dinner in your new home this year?
Not likely – we will keep up the tradition of splitting our time between my parents and Steve’s parents.

I understand you and your Mum have another Christmas tradition?
Oh yes. On the day after Boxing Day, we can be found at 4am in the queue waiting for the Next sale to start. You wouldn’t believe it but the place is heaving at that time, though we do usually pick up some great bargains.

Have you got a money-saving tip?
If you can’t make the opening of the Next New Year sale, then bargain hunt at Primark.

Have you had a good/bad experience with any company recently?
I wasn’t impressed with the service received from Santander when trying to get a mortgage.

Do you have any favourite place in Britain?
Weston-super-Mare – I go every year to a netball tournament and I wouldn’t miss it for anything.

I hear you are an avid viewer of Don’t tell the Bride?
I love that programme and really enjoy watching the final outcome of the arrangements made by the groom – sometimes not always quite what the bride expected. But I’m not sure I would trust Steve enough to go on it!

Any other favourite pastimes?
Apart from playing netball up to five times a week and walking my dog Harley, I don’t have much time left for anything else.

Any short-term plans?
I have accountancy exams coming up in December which I hope to pass, and I’m also doing a Level 2 Netball Coaching course.
