Thanks for that Kay. I must admit I got a bit discouraged this afternoon when reading a post, and I think I vented too[
][].I’m just hoping I’m not one of the opinionated, nitpicker types that people keep mentioning as their reason for staying away from the forum.[
!][]Seriously though, if you want to talk to this guy about loans, he’s the best. He made things so easy for me, and I’ve told him that when I want my next loan I’ll jump on a plane and come up and see him. He told me he’ll leave instructions that I’m to be given top priority.[^]
Cheers
MelHaha[
] And Arty should now be known as rAty for real. So much for ‘settling’ on only 3 rats!![]Cheers
MelHey muppet, I think I did help Maddison out in my response to the first post. I wasn’t sure if they wanted the forum, or the massive NZ post, so i indicated both.
But yes, we are nosey![

I suggest you definitely get a full building inspection report done. Buildings these days are not to the same standards as they used to be. You have 90 days I think on the warranty period, but if you can get the builder to fix any problems you identify pre settlement you’ll be doing much better.
Also, I hope you have a good solicitor. One unit we bought was a really bad finish, but our solicitors said that we had to settle (at great cost to us), and the kitchen was not even finished. the splashback was against the dining room wall
The bathroom door didn’t have a handle, and one of the wardrobe doors handles was lying on the floor – with the door firmly shut.This was a brand new place! We used a build inspector, who identified about three pages of problems, but in the end it didn’t do us much good. We now have an excellent solicitor, but it was an expensive lesson.
Cheers
MelJaffasoft, once again you step in with your pearls of wisdom! At least my posts are helpful, rather than hateful.
I thought you had improved, noting that you had deleted a lot of your nasty posts, but I guess I was wrong.[
]Although I note the smilie, so I hope maybe you are not being nasty.[?][
]Cheers
MelPoltergeist, you’ve undergone a name change!![
]I like it.
Cheers
Melalf, you can always ask for a different personal banker – or ‘demote’ yourself back to normal banking. That should send the message through to them. Also suggest that because of his attitude you are seriously looking to jump ship.
Sue, hope your news comes back [

MelHey ANUBIS, what happened to king of the world?
It took me until I saw a post talking to polar bear, and the post above was by ANUBIS to work out what you had done[
]. I was very confused for a while as I had not seen ANUBIS before, and yet he had almost 200 posts![]Cheers
MelYes, in the public service there are many many people who are ‘career public servants’, and that’s the ONLY way they’re ever going to make any money.
You can earn really good money, for not a lot of work, but that’s all they are happy with, and intend to stay forever!
I actually enjoyed my job, but I didn’t enjoy my new ‘superiors’, and I’ve always thought, if you don’t like your boss, then you need to change jobs. I had succeeded in doing that, but then my boss would not let me go![
][xx(]Cheers
MelOnly 10-20 years? I think you’re aiming for too short a timeframe! I don’t think I’ll ever ‘not work’ but it will be the work that I want to do, like investing, and helping my family/friends to become financially free, and to do a lot of travelling.
I had six months rec leave, three months long service leave, and six months sick leave. I’m down to three months rec leave (and increasing by the week), three months long service leave, and about a month and a half sick leave![
]If my boss had of let me use up my leave, I would be done by now, and have to have gone back (no way[^] that was going to happen), or resigned. As it is I’m having a paid holiday, and it’s been really good. Although if I was at work still, I would be at 2000 posts, as there really wasn’t much for me to do – I used to read lots of jokes, and send out a mailing list of them!
Cheers
MelHey Poltergeist, I worked out how to move the items – go up to Edit, and Choose ‘Move to Folder’. Then I did the standard windows solution, closed Windows Explorer, and opened it again and voila – it works again![
]Cheers
MelYeah, I get the feeling that my name is appearing far too often – especially when I look at active topics, and all I see as the last poster is ‘melbear'[
]I keep wondering ‘Where is Arty, where is Poltergeist, what has Pinky done to them, and where has she gone?'[
]Cheers
Mel
