Now I am beginning to get nervous. Inventories have been checked. More fear as I realise that I am stepping into the brink and doing something completely different. Before it was just head nerves and now that has turned into gut nerves. You can feel the fear in different parts of your body. I could write loads and loads of posts about what’s really going on but I am still playing my cards to my chest. If I gave you the low-down you’d understand completely but once it is all done I’ll probably come clean and explain the furtiveness. However, this life-changing thing might mean that I’ll need to close the blog part of the site, but does anyone really care? My loyal reader probably will find somewhere else to go, won’t you? Or I could just start again and go anonymous…that would be fun.
As any intelligent person knows, Banks are just well organised parasites. I’ve got this new business account, see. I need it for my new business, naturally, but I have already incurred over £500 debit already. How so? Well my business manager didn’t tell me that the valuation/survey was going to be debited from this new account before we’d even started using it and so I have incurred an overdraft fee. He promised to clear it up, but I’ve still made a little blemish on my credit record. I was expecting the surveyor to send me the bill direct, but no, I get shtumped without even being asked.
This is why I am nervous as I expect to get really shtumped before this whole project is complete. Once the two houses are sold there are still estate agents to pay, mortgages and fees to clear, removal costs and whatever else comes along, as well as Capital Gains Tax. Ouch!
So at least now you all know why I am scared and why I get so easily fucked off these days.
Oh and by the way, my wife is heavily pregnant and is in no condition to move. Why o why do I think that after we sign the contracts the completion date is going to coincide with the due date? And yes, I have told the solicitor many times about the baby’s arrival and to plan around it. In fact, don’t even get me started on the solicitors or even the estate agents who have been a complete pain in the rump…
Grrr…
Deep blue ocean…deep blue ocean…deep blue ocean…
That’s better!
Don’t give up on the blog yet. You’ll need it as an outlet. It’ll ge worse before it gets better.
I’ve never been near the situation you are in at the moment with the mortgages and all, but I’ve moved with a heavily pregnant wife and that’s no picknick. Come to think of it, I’ve done it twice.
I think there’s a study that moving house is the most stressful thing and having a baby comes second (don’t quote me on that, can’t find where I got that from) so there’s a lot of fun in the near future 🙂
My wife bought an apartment recently and had the same issues with the bank. It’s the same everywhere…
By the other hand, Guilherme is over one year old, so it was easier to move.
In the end everything will be fine!
