The week so far...

This week has been a bit different. With trying to lose some weight, not that I've done much exercise but have managed not to eat any chips or anything really fatty and have already lost the 4Ibs I wanted to. Also not been chatting much to Angelika, think she thinks I'm pissed off with her which I'm not just got loads of things to do rather than chatting all night.

A house along the street may be coming up for auction, it has just been repossessed. There's a very strange and sad story to it. The family that lived there have been married for 20 odd years and have 3 kids. It turns out that she had taken out a loan or probably several loans against the house without her husband knowing and she had supposedly forged his signature. He knew nothing about it until they were away on holiday and she said she had to go back home early for an interview but really she was going to court about the loans she hadn't paid back. Then basically the house got repossessed and he has left her. Neither can get into the house to get anything out.

But although its not nice whats happened if its true, it could be good for me if I could get the house cheap at auction. I've been reading up on it, I was worried that I would end up with a bad credit rating with them living at that address and owing loads of money but this is no longer true. A credit rating it now only given on an individual not an address :-)

Simon @ work mentioned an interesting site www.nethouseprices.com it lets you look at what every UK house has been sold for in the last 5 years for free.

I seam to of been really busy all week but I can't really think what I've actually done, just been tidying up loads of loose ends and sorting out my finances.
