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

Thanks that’s handy to know about the airport I got picked up last time.

Wow £300 that’s crazy money but you can’t always book in advance.

Hope the meeting with the CEO went well?

It went ok thanks she gave me 4 days Friday AM to complete it all. I've been lucky I've had lots of replies to my feedback from partners and some ace help from a trustee so should be on track for Friday.

Job application done not sure it's good enough I think you find out from portal if unsuccessful so might need to log in and check. It really isn't the right time but an interview would be helpful.

Found someone to look at the pool coming Friday before bank hols need to ask vendors etc if ok first but feels like I'm getting there. If he says it's not a money pit I'll pay the full price if not need to negotiate. Vendors have said they'll move out so potentially could move in early but not sure that's such a great idea might be wise to finish job first.

Worked from home today but going in tomorrow so nice not having to travel.

Can't remember if I said I've bought a car picking it up 17/8 so needed insurance. If I ensure it as living down south I save £250 now that is crazy money indeed.

Need to sort insurance out for new lock up and hire van for 23/7 to move my stuff out. Need to get pool inspection done but almost ready. Moving forward. Roll on the weekend tired already.

Lots to update I got an interview it's on Tuesday so I booked it without checking my diary on my phone. When I got the confirmation I saw it wasn't in London as expected but in Leeds!!!

Had to quickly rearrange my diary and now I'm going up the night before then straight back to work. I was really grateful I remember a certain someone on here telling me the office is near the station so it's all doable.

Also found and booked a pool guy and a second viewing next Saturday will be really good to see it all again.

Still not sorted locker insurance but I now only have one thing so do on the 23rd so that's all good.

Work is tough CEO and I really not getting on planing to leave very soon. Basically I put in a lot of work in a very small amount of time and she shot me down in flames as it wasn't good enough. I was a bit dumbfounded but I think she was annoyed with the person I had help from and she clearly sees me as a threat. She wants to go for two caseworker roles which won't be good news for my amazing co worker who started it all. I'm currently trying to get her to apply for a different job she's too good for that place.

Morning didn't quite finish last night dg couldn't get to the destinations she was meeting some of her mums old friends at due to the power cut so she was here and we watched a film which was nice

I'm playing golf today and tomorrow and I shall also have to write a ten minute presentation for job interview. Dg is out this afternoon so I have some peace to do it in. I have demonstrated I know project management methodology so need to swat up on that but I think I know how my presentation will go.

Run out of milk so eating cereal with watered down milk not the nicest but yesterday I totally forgot in the stress over the ceo.

Congratulations on the job interview! You should ace it! If you are going where I think you are going, come out of the main entrance to the train station and turn right, follow the curve of the road. Cross Boar Lane and start walking up Albion Street, right to the top. You should come to the M. Centre at this point and find your way from there. 15 minutes walk tops.

If you are going somewhere else, good luck anyway! It sounds like you want the job and that is half the battle.

Keep us informed. It would be good for you to get away from the current environment, its not good for you or anyone else.

Thanks starts in 1/2 hour all prepped and nervous but if it doesn’t happen it’s not meant to be and I’ll enjoy my time off and doing the study instead as planned. I’ll also have ttime to sort new house out.
