Week 11 – Thursday
10.28.09
I have decided to look for a flat to buy and I can hopefully rope Mark in to help me decorate it. So I spent the entire day at work looking at websites for estate agents. Even a flat in this area is about eighty eight thousand pounds so am going to see a financial expert to see how much I can lend. I
don’t have any savings ( not unless you count a fifty pound premium bond and a jar of mixed copper ).
As I have to call in to the doctors to collect mum’s prescription I have made an appointment to see Doctor Bloomfield about my elbow pain. I need to get all these things sorted before he retires.
Manda and I are going out for a drink tonight to celebrate Kirk being off work so I am knocking off early to get my hair blow dried. Is very misty outside so this straightening treatment will be tested to the limit.
After blow dry and glass of white wine with Rex I went to see the doctor. He said it certainly sounded like tennis elbow and has booked me in for physio starting next week. I collected mum’s painkillers then popped in to the bank to have a chat about mortgages. The girl I saw said I can borrow about sixty five thousand but ideally I would need a five percent deposit. So basically I need over three grand deposit and I need to find a cheap place to live. The mortgage repayments would me cheaper than my rent is though.
As I am getting ready I am deciding that as from tomorrow I will save the deposit. No more coffees and cakes and shop bought sandwiches. I will bring my own lunch in and a flask. So straight away I will save about twenty quid a week. I will stop going out for girly nights and just stay in with Mark
wherever possible and once I move back to my rented flat I will walk to work and back and save a fortune in bus fares.
Have to go now as Mark taking me to pick Manda up then dropping us in town. Having to wear sunglasses as eye still half closed so will feel like a prat.
You never know may get mistaken for Anastacia or someone. Out of all the celebrities I suppose I mostly look like her. Trust me to look like a has been.Manda dead attractive and looks like Kimberley from Girls Aloud only an older version. When I think about it Gus is mental as he not that good
looking.
