Aiming to be mortgage free by my 40th birthday, June 2026!0 -
Got an email on Saturday afternoon to say head office was looking at it, but confirmed that this was the last step before a mortgage offer was made subject to valuations
Hopefully they'll make a decision this week. 0 -
Now they want to see my 16/17 tax return. Please excuse me while I bang my head against a brick wall for a while....
The good news is that I went to the mart today for the annual lamb sale and didn't buy any more sheep (Had to sit on my hands a couple of times though, there was a very nice pen of 14 ewe lambs I particularly fancied!)
Am currently pricing up the various options for going to have lunch with my brother for his birthday in November. I haven't seen him for two years
so suggested to Mum that a family lunch might be a nice idea and they're both up for it. He wants us to go to her rather than all meeting up in London, but flights to Bristol are only twice a week in winter, so I'll need to go to London, meet my brother at Paddington and we'll get the train down together. So far prices for the various travel options to London range from £6 return on the Megabus (if I want to leave Inverness at 8.30am and get to London Victoria bus station at 11.30pm and roughly the same coming back!) to £90 each way for a shared occupancy room on the Caledonian Sleeper. Amazingly, the Gatwick Travelodge is only £60 for two nights (both nights, not each!), so I'll likely jump on the EasyJet as per usual. 0 -
