Now the new mortgagee has lost their copies of my I'd and wants me to take it back in...for a third time. How do these money houses stay in business? They keep asking if we want to make a complain and we just say, no we want to get a ruddy mortgage. Its been ages now...surely this isn't normal???

I had some unexpected post today....

A contract of sale :eek:

I know it doesn't really change things until (if/ when) contracts are actually exchanged. But it is still a bit scary.
And seeing everything I have to pay on one sheet is also eek. Though at least it doesn't include the £900ish on valuation and survey fees, so I guess it could look worse.

This is what happens when you outsource all of your administrative functions to the cheapest bidder / shift operations to the third world and pay peanuts. My bank is constantly asking me to go back in and prove who I am in respect of an ISA I opened with them in about 2000. I transferred the balance out and asked them to close it in about 2003 but they still seem to think it exists and keep threatening to close it if I don't go into a branch with my passport. What I find really odd is that they don't seem to mind about my current accout, joint account and various other savings accounts I have with them!

Not sure if its one of those that out source. This admin is going astray in a town down the road from me and the head office for this stuff in uk.

I did the maths as this sounded unlikely but it seems that Aus is 1/46 of the size of the worlds oceans so would need to be 'covered with'/holding water to an average depth of 32cm to lower the seas by 7mm (assuming that the weight of water did not cause the land to sink at all)

That is why I like NP so much.

They care about the most unlikely things.

Got told today wouldn't find out about job until end of first week of September... Six weeks from interview to decision. I can't imagine anyone can even remember what happened in any of the interviews now. Still, I have total faith that the process is fair and transparent...

We did...well nothing exciting today really.

Went for a walk along the seafront, had an ice cream (the boys) and a tea (me), spoke to James and then middle son did some drum practice at my parent's house. Finally on the way home, we did the weekly shop.

All very boring and hum drum....and just the way I like it!
