We bought a house. It needed some work. I thought I'd write about it.
Tues 9th March
Bloody direct debits. I spend all day trying to move about six of them to our offset joint account so we can make the most of the offset by paying our salaries straight into it, but take the wrong approach and try to do it over the phone. Battling with 0845, 0870 numbers and queues is not my idea of fun. On the plus side I find my V5 vehicle registration document and now I can get a parking permit. Well, I could, but it’s registered to the old badger towers. And the DVLA are having a 2-day strike.
John has installed the drains & pipes but now has to wait for building control to come and tick the box before he can cover it up. Apparently Ted has been to a brick library and chosen some good ones. Hope he doesn’t get fined if they’re overdue.
We end the day deflated and watch In The Loop with a bottle of wine.
Found today: V5 vehicle registration. BORING.
