Starting Afresh Back Home

Still having issues with overpaying the mortgage online and have contacted Natwest about sorting it out. Hopefully it will be resolved next week. In the meantime I have to call them to make an overpayment, which meant I had to listen to an automated voice telling me I could do it online and then the lady I finally got through to also telling me I could do it online and it would be quicker. I then ended up telling her why I couldn't and finished off with 'I assure you, if I could do it online, I would!!'

Anyway, a £400 overpayment made and the mortgage is now £17,900 (although because doing it over the phone is slower, I have to wait upto 5 working days for it to update the total when I log in 🙄)

Things like that should not be so difficult.

It really shouldn't, Beanie, especially in this day and age. I was on the phone 15mins and 10 of those were spent listening to automated messages 😡

Anyway, this morning was only a quick post, so here's a proper roundup of this week. DH returned safely home on Sunday and enjoyed his weekend away at Karate camp. There's another one in September that he plans on going to and a possible one during the summer. It makes him happy so it's all good with me (that and I get to eat what I want and watch what I want while he's not here, also the house was so much cleaner and tidier 🤣). I did finish the cross stitch that I was doing for my work colleague that retired on Friday and he seemed very happy with it, so that was good.

I had three cleaning jobs during the week and next week is set to be a busy one with 5 cleaning jobs. I will be taking the following week off from all work as we have BILs wedding down in Cheltenham on the Bank Holiday Monday and won't be back home until Tuesday, so we thought we would take the rest of the week off and have a break. 

We are having to put the dogs in kennels for two nights next weekend for this wedding and I'm not looking forward to it as Dog 1 is nearly 11 years old and I worry about her so much nowadays. I've had her since 8 weeks old and we have been through so much together, I hate the thought of something happening to her when I'm not around. DH says not to worry because she's very healthy and still very cheeky. I know he's right, unfortunately I'm quite an anxious person. It's also quite costly for 3 dogs in kennels as well, but hey ho, needs to be done! 

Overall, just need to get through this week and then a nice break to look forward to.

Here's my jaws cross stitch. I think I'll work on a sloth one next for my mum's birthday 🙂
