I don’t want to see another form for the rest of this year. The paperwork trail to lease a vehicle and buy a house is just incredible.
On top of that I’ve had consent forms and medical forms to fill in for young Michael’s Country Week soccer trip to Perth. I also obtained a new frequent flyer points credit card, which fortunately didn’t require too many forms (funny how the banks hand out credit cards so easily) but changing my direct debits to maximise points involved numerous other forms.
The bank forms for the home loan were the most onerous. I signed my name dozens of times, then Juliet had to do the same and we needed a witness to the fact we had signed the forms, and she had to sign a form too.
Imagine the relief when I arrived at the bank and triumphantly handed over all the forms! The lending consultant flicked through the forms and after about 25 pages (half way through) discovered that Juliet had missed signing one part of a form. I was crestfallen.
I haven’t felt so downcast since Myrtleford lost the Ovens and Murray football grand final in the dying seconds to Lavington.
