Great news that your deposit is coming together well and that you are finding good properties around your desired price range.
1. ICO rejected my complaint, as to be expected after I discovered I still had an account with T!
2. Cheque received from former DMC and paid in, should be cleared tomorrow.
3. No news on my divorce.
Positive ending for today:
1. Had a slip / fall in the bath yesterday. Been sofa bound since to rest up.
2. Knee is still !!!!!!ed, but as long as it's strapped and I use my stick I'm ok getting around.
Savingholmes - No point me going to the Dr as they can't give me anything stronger and me still work
3. Had my MOT last week, get my car back tomorrow and be £445 poorer.
4. My review at work is this week, not last week. Going to look at my hours again as my boss doesn't like it taking me upto 90 minutes to get home.
I'm also going to attempt driving in when I get my car back, just in case that's quicker. Downside is I have to get in by 7.30 at the latest to get parking.
5. Had all my uni papers turn up this week as I put a reasonable adjustments request in for paper copies instead of on-line. My tutor also put a request in for me too.
6. Dropped my broker an email.
7. Looking at properties still, a few requirements I have are wet room / shower room. Ideally a bungalow, house, maisonette or upper flat (in that order).
The ones I have my eye on are still for sale
1. Divorce granted and official paper received today :j:j:j
2. Requested the home buyers report on a house I'm interested in.
When that's received I will be able to make a decision as to whether it's viable to view.
3. Still in regular contact with my broker :shhh:
4. Bit of money moved to MSA's.
I can't get bring myself to start a thread in the saving for a deposit forum
I have started a new thread on the other forum.
I felt conflicted staying here as I've only the one currently unenforceable debt with a decent pot, but at the same time I felt conflicted starting the new thread due to having the pot and the old debt. However, I thought if I moved on, someone else would get the support when they needed it more than me.
The divorce is a strange one, as I walked away with nothing to avoid dragging it out, I knew it would be down to me to find an agent, find him solicitors etc and do everything in between to sell the house; perhaps that's what he wanted, or it could have been he inherited from his dad and panicked I would go for that! but he isn't my problem any more! In a way I am annoyed with myself for not going for 50%, especially as it would have made a huge difference with buying, but I don't have any guilt of leaving him with not a lot so close to retirement.
I don't feel 'sad' about the divorce, perhaps 'indifferent', but I don't know him anymore and didn't know him when I went for the last of my stuff earlier this year.
Life moves on, I have a wonderful guy I'm looking forward to to spending the rest of my life with,.
My knee is still bad, but I have it strapped up each day, at some point it might get better
I guess this is my sad goodbye post for this thread, I wouldn't have got this far without the support and having a place to ramble on, for that I say thank you to everyone for reading and / or commenting :j
Just in case anyone does want to watch the next series of moving forward, here is a link :rotfl:
