The trials & tribulations of a 1st time landlord & investor

Study all got done and I passed ready for Monday volunteering turned up with DG and all internet down so a but annoying. Got to sit in on two interviews and make some calls. Going back Thursday instead which is great I'll definitely enjoy it.

Hope I hear from Agency today or tomorrow re interview would like it after Thursday as it useful to get back into the field first. Done some more of my open uni study which fits in perfectly to volunteering and dream job interview.

Room all done so today I'll study for the professional qualification and take it easy. Tomorrow course slightly outside my field but useful and just down the road. Thursday volunteering and hen weekend.

Playing golf Sunday full member now with a handicap of 21 very pleased about that. DG is still struggling with her golf I do hope she continues to improve and don't get so upset when she had a bad day. It's a hobby.

Need to get back to gym but don't feel like it will go after course tomorrow it's next door literally so very handy.

Thanks Bugslet one offer would be nice now actually only applied for one at the moment but know I need to do more just not any really grabbing me.

Managed to complete my entire professional conversion course yesterday all three parts weren't even going for the two higher ones but no problem passed them. So happy that means I just have to do my CPD points this year and I'm fully covered to go back to my roots should I need to.

Course today so haven't got too long to lie in bed location has moved but it's still very local so not an issue. Should be good and I might meet some interesting people.

Had electricians here all day yesterday didn't know but the guardian company wanted all lights made safe. That meant our new toilet light got replaced when we had just bought a new light bulb for it which it was too late to cancel. Never mind it was only £5.

Tomorrow is volunteering proper with Internet so that should be good too. Still hoping Agency will get back in touch about dream job he said he might not speak to the person until Tuesday and the job is no longer on their website so let's hope they haven't filled it already.

Thank you yes I'm glad I did do them had a fab day volunteering today lots of things to do and all proper work not just admin. Going again Monday and Thursday next week can't wait even if I am tired now. Naughty lunch too jacket potato too many carbs really but lovely as it's so cold.

Not hear from Agency re dream job now he did say next week which is this week but I'm going to call him tomorrow just to find out if it's a no. Better knowing as I can get on with other job applications. Seen one that might look good not sure though.

Yes I'll wait until the right one comes along but don't want to wait for too long.

My mum is sorting probate out for my uncle my sister and I will inherit everything. It's not complicated but tax is different and so is the laws obviously. He's leaving some to his home but there will be a nice sum for us. Not sure what to do with it would like some money in Denmark to spend when on holiday but it's far too much for that but not enough to buy a small summer house either. We shall see.

Early night for me DG is tired too bonus we don't need dinner due to huge lunch.

Been a while since I have posted DG had a bad golf day Saturday and then I played badly Sunday where she cannot play as she hasn't got a handicap. Shes not happy but she should get one soon if she keeps up the practise going again tonight.


Still not heard from dream job it now got a closing date of 18/6 but obviously they just keep moving it until they find someone. Not gone for the two operational jobs one hasn't got the specialist area I really want but is the better of the two the other has the CEO I know. Still time to decide. Nothing else to go for at the moment but did get an email from a trustee job I applied for back in April they would like to speak to me 4/7 for informal chat. It could be really good for my CV its an area Im really interested in and it will get me the finance experience I really need. Fingers crossed even if I will miss out on 4DX movie with nephew but DG can take him instead.


Having the broadband router moved Friday DG cannot cope with the bad signal this end. Fine I agree less hassle and stress. Tomorrow is 3 month check up for my laser surgery I am sure I will be told all is fine. Thursday is volunteering have my first client booked in so will be quite good to get back into it. Loved Monday so all is fine there. Friday is meeting with people from my field should be good also get much needed CPD points. Busy week in all I would say for me.

Almost forgot my tenants have split up and he is late paying the rent should get it end of this week but not really great. He works with her and her dad is guarantor he is looking for something smaller not looking good for the rent lets see how good the agent really is. Front garden looked so scruffy last time I was down there have reported this to agent.
Need to hang out clothes now and ryebread is in oven so not been too lazy today.
