Letsdance Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Saw the the stock markets plunge and decided to cash an endowment I took out in 1994 with Nat West. Endowement seemed to be losing money every day quicker than my bath could empty water. 10k to 9k and last week 6k. Sh*t myself and threw in the chips on friday last. Got a cheque for 8k. Still lost money but pleased I'm out. Used it to pay off a BTL (sorry, I was in to BTL quite early so lay off the insults) One for you guys, laugh at my expense. Got a phone call this morning from tenant about blocked drain. Unblocked at lunch time. What a s*itty job. Looked like chicken korma. Would have posted the pics but mods would delete on unsavory grounds. Best wishes LD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendy Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 it seems to be the ultimate bull trap right now - it's up and down in roughly the same ranges by the day/week. it's probably going to be even more bullish over christmas, but then i think the markets will fall by another 20-30% as every company becomes no more mr. nice guy. followed by another 20% as the public sector also becomes no more mr. nice guy.

bendy Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 haha on the korma issue i assume that you are a decent ll and forsee that if a tenant decides to get rid of the korma in the sink as opposed to the bin then it's you that is going to foot the bill should the drain need professional service. always a risk on btl, and many don't see that people use their 'investment' as a home - but then if the tenent 'owned' the house he/she is renting they'd learn a valuable lesson not to stick korma down the drain due to the plumbers bill that follows. expect more plunging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
