    :jYeah, thought I would have a look at my mortgage figures, again :o - always looking at them, hoping one day I'll see the figure that will make my last payment. :rotfl:

    And my July mortgage payment had been deducted :j and I overcalculated the interest added, so I am now the huge sum of £1.96 under the 27's, making me now officially in my 26's :j

    We now have our estimate :j
    But ..... I do worry too much :(. They have the go ahead if under £200.00 without our consent. Trouble is, it is under £200 and they WANT our consent :doh: :think: Should I be worried ?
    Especially as 1 builder's quote was double that and add on a 0 :eek:

    Estimate received 14/6/16 - Consent given by e-mail 20/6/16

    then Nothing . . . . . . until today :mad:

    New letter received today, new job number dated 30.6.16 informing me/us a resident has reported a repair required, and the maintenance team will visit the property on 1.7.16 between 8.00am and 12.00. Letter arrived today 4.7.16.:mad:

    We will send an itemised repair bill detailing the full breakdown of works, on completion of the repair :eek:

    Would that happen to be the one already received on the 14.6.16 :mad:

    My other neighbours are all away on holiday, so have to deal with this one myself :mad: .:D

    Been on the phone, asked what the **** is going on, reminding them that we are paying for a service, they are not providing. Of course, they can't tell me, I need to phone in the morning. Asked for their complaints procedure :D and where I would find it - was given an address and e-mail address.

    OK, so i've calmed down a bit.

    Sitting here, thinking, I could with some days off :o but again, same old story - short staffed :( so I'll be there as usual. Work has a very short secondment coming up, which I would like to do, its my kind of "thing" so will apply for that in the next few days and see what happens, closing date is a week from now.

    Still mulling over my next o/p, had decided to go for it at the weekend, now I've got slightly cold feet, not like me:o

    Was listing like mad over the weekend as got offer with 75% off fees :j and within minutes had sold an item, which encouraged me, then nothing, till this morning :) that's 2 more items - out the house :j so just over £15 into the o/p pot :)
