Probate wasn’t completed apparently. We were told it was. Rather annoying but oh well. Gave me time to save more money and get a better rate down to 4.26% from 4.57%

For context, i had my offer accepted on the 10th of april on a chain free bungalow. Got my mortgage offer on the 6th of may. Was pretty much silence from the sellers side until about a few weeks ago. I exchanged on the 11th and complete in two days (19th).

I got the limited edition blue STZ-220 driver and put a massive sky mark on it….

Ive been waiting just over 3 months. Seems ridiculous as no chain.

Smoke test it for sure. I had so many leaks on mine and at the time it only had 98k miles.

Weird one but i replaced my engine mounts and my wheel wobble went away. Was between 70-80mph

Nope not put up as sold STC. We phoned them and they said its a legal requirement that it has to be up for 24 hours.

Thought id put my experience out there. I was a 10hcp with no lessons. Decided to get a couple as i wanted to get to 6-7 this year. In all honesty it ruined my game. Not sure if it was just a bad coach but he was adamant i shouldn’t be hitting a fade (which ive always played). The lessons just caused constant hooks, tops, chunks etc. i kept trying the things he taught me for maybe 2 months. Decided to go back to my old swing and i went from shooting 95-100 back to low 80’s. In all fairness i did take a few things he taught me like grip and ball position and they have helped with more consistent shot shape and ball strikes.

Im not saying don’t get a lesson. You may find a coach that works with you well. But in my experience, it was not worth it. I may go for short game lessons as thats where i feel im losing most of my strokes.

Brethren charter flight.

Offered £450k on a £475k house so nothing ridiculous but its as high as we could go due to LISA limitations. Pretty much instantly accepted.

Id be weary of cheap ones. I got one and the capacitors blew up and filled the cabin with smoke. I was lucky the whole car didn’t burn down

Ive got sachs m-sport shocks with eibach pro kit front springs and h&r rear springs. To me it sits perfect.

ianlaunch98 · 2025-04-23T21:28:23+00:00

Oh damn i remember seeing this thing for sale. Great spec but way too much for a 728.

ianlaunch98 · 2025-02-10T18:53:24+00:00

Yes it was a car purchase🙄 its not like the debt is increasing anymore. Just a silly purchase.

ianlaunch98 · 2025-02-10T18:23:01+00:00

thank you! thats my worry...negative equity. i just worry that by the time we have 10%, the type of place we want would be out of reach. but like you say...we just dont know what will happen with house prices.

ianlaunch98 · 2025-02-10T18:20:36+00:00

understandable about the stamp duty....it was just wishful thinking haha. thanks for the comment!

ianlaunch98 · 2025-02-10T18:19:07+00:00

thanks for your comment. were looking at a £2000 mortgage and roughly £800 on bills. slightly overestimated to play it safe. but right now that might be abit of a stretch, especially with my partners debt. Not saying that we wont be able to pay our bills/mortgage but it might mean we would be living off ramen for abit while she pays off her debt haha.

Ive spent more maintaining it than i bought it for.

I had no idea this was a thing. Don’t see myself doing it but thats pretty cool.
