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

TallGirl

Tired tonight good weekend but dg is currently giving me the silent treatment it's annoying but heyho she's still struggling with her mum so I have to walk on eggshells all the time.

We lost the semi finals shame but good game and the better players won on the day. Been fun to play the 4 games and glad I entered met some lovely people.

Packed and sorted for travelling to Leeds tomorrow feeling a bit nervous about it and can't find the induction email I should have looked at still time tomorrow at the hotel.

Went to the driving range to practise today was ok and also did a food shop so all ready for next week lunch and dinners. Going to be tough being good while eating out especially as I don't know what budget I have. I might have big breakfast or snack before I leave then I'm taking a wrap with me for the train its so boring. Might take my laptop and work on my assignment.

I passed 3 out of 5 on the client care not sure I understand all I failed on but should be doable to pass client care for real but my gramma just isn't good enough unfortunately and I'm not detailed enough. Need to beef up the legal research paper.

I do want to do a new diary just not sure what to call it, something about living the mortgage free live and staying mortgage free or two homes and staying within budget while working towards early retirement.

Anyway enough from my dinner is almost done.

So last day of freedom although I leave today for Leeds. I'm going to have to sort a few bits out but I'm packed and got my lunch made which is nice. Checked up I do get expenses they are not too bad so I just need to be good with food choices and make sure I don't eat crap when I don't have to. I like healthy snacks twice a day not sure how that's going to work but there is a kitchen at the office so should hopefully be ok. Starting to get a few butterflies I must admit.

So list today

• Email old work and say I don't need email access any longer
• A bit of study
• Decide if I take my laptop so I can study on the train
• Pack my summer clothes away get out my winter stuff

Need to get ready to leave about 12.45 still in bed lol

It all went well thank you trying to learn peoples names and suss IT out. Day two today off for breakfast now I’ll check in later with proper update.

On my way back on the train should really study but too tired now. IT still playing up as I haven’t got an employee number but meeting senior manager tomorrow so hopefully be good. Been trying to learn everything but it’s going to be slow slow. Looks like I’ll be in Leeds Mon to Tues for the next three weeks. Once we move might not work as I’ll have to get up super early to make train to Leeds at a reasonable time. We shall see team meeting on Tuesdays 10.30 but only once a month a long meeting which is good.

Can’t wait to get home tomorrow and Friday 10am starts in London office which is good.

London office not great really big scary and don't know anyone top boss ok but I think lots of politics too isn't there always. Need to sort desk and chair out cannot work like that.

Cancelled golf tomorrow went to range last night going out to play today too but can't face completion in rain tomorrow no way.

Need to start my new diary will hopefully do later.

All going well been busy travelling to Leeds every week quite nice being on expenses again but need to be careful so I don't put on any more weight.

Trying to organise getting my furniture out of ex house mates lockup.just as cheap to get Shipley so do it and a lot less hassle for sure. Will be good to get hat confirmed and then can take out my stuff from the other house which will save me £40 for lockup and £80 for other storage. Nice saving.

Tired tonight can't wait to chill with Bake-off.
