A graphic designer who saved an average of £1,600 per month over approximately two years, amounting to a total of £40,000, has fulfilled a childhood promise and bought a two-bedroom house for his single mother who had been struggling to afford her rent.
Will Hemming, 32, a creative director who lives in London, told his mother Vivienne years ago: “Mum, when I grow up, I’ll buy you a house.”
Vivienne, a 69-year-old banqueting manager, explained that Will was about 11 when he said this, and it was when the family-of-four was living in Alcester, Warwickshire, and had a “beautiful life”.
