I get the impression that me and my finances are not taken seriously by house owners, estate agents and mortgage lenders. I may look like a 14 year old boy but I do have more than my paper round money. Oh and I think we should go back to the old days where you go see a human being and have a conversation about what you can afford and how reliable you are, rather that a computer formula that in my case says 'will only lend 1/3 LESS than current mortgage, despite 6 years of overpayment'.
Rant over. Maybe one day going to put an offer on a gorgeous house will be a positive experience. Sigh.
Anyways.. looks like I'm staying here so..
- paid stupid overpriced and useless buildings insurance fee to the Management company that have made ripping people off into an art form.
- put 2 pound coins in bank to pay for Lego
- put in offer on house. estate agent may as well have laughed in my face.
- collected shirts to iron
- delivered Isabel's birthday present a few days late but made up for it by playing lots of Top Trumps and watching dance 'shows'
- contacted HMRC AGAIN about my wrong tax code
- finished yesterday's assigned accounts
- did a load of washing
- scanned a load of labels and ski stuff
- got rid of lots of emails
- got an AIP on a mortgage.. not from my current lender!!!
- researched savings etc accounts. current interest rates laughable, but I guess that works in my favour mortgage wise.
- did some knitting in the sunshine on my bed. Mum correctly guessed that this would be sleep inducing.
Time for tea.
And I could do with Lego time to get less angry about the world.
... took ages to download the Mindstorms programme (almost a gig!!!) but eventually installed that and update firmware on the EV3 brick and did my first programme... not very impressive.. it moved forward a bit. Might give myself more Lego time at the weekend. Kinda lost motivation on the clean up.. looks like I'm going nowhere.
