"get shit done" day
Yesterday was "get shit done" day. I had the day off and the aim was to get as many things off my to do list as possible.
9am - appointment with accountant to sort out my tax return
All bad news unfortunately. Unless I can get my group certificate re-issued not showing my allowances for the year I will owe the tax man $5000. Best case scenario I get my certificate re-issued and I will still owe $1000. #fail
10am - appointment with Mortgage Choice
The good news is that banks want to lend me money for a home loan so I can definitely buy an apartment in the city. Now I just need to get motivated and start looking at some places (arghh Saturday mornings), decide exactly how much I want to borrow, sort out my paperwork so I can get pre-approved for a loan.
1:30pm - optometrist appointment
Surprise, surprise... I need new lenses. I think I've had my current pair for just over a year. My eyes have gone from -2.25 to -2.75. No wonder I can't read stuff on the tv screen. I want to get some new frames too because my current ones have got a bit loose. After trying on every pair in the optometrist I'm no closer to making a decision.
2:15pm - dentist appointment
I'd forgotten how much I hate the dentist.
3pm - car repairs
I dropped into a car repairs place to see if I could get my drivers side mirror replaced. It got smashed one day by a flying road divider (you know those temporary orange stick things). Anyway the guy called up Holden and found out that the part costs over $200. WTF! It's just a mirror!!! Absolutely insane! I've since found one on ebay which includes the entire side mirror, including the casing, for $100.
Get shit done - mission complete...
