Admin

Today has been focussed on administration.

There is a backlog of accounts to be checked off against the statements and because the aggregator had a problem with some of the accounts for a while, the backlog was even bigger. The Gorse Fox, in the end, created a spreadsheet that allowed him to separate duplicates from the missed transactions. It took an hour or so, but it solved the problem. Then he started the usual statement checks. They are not finished yet, but are well under way.

At lunchtime the Gorse Fox had to head into Chichester. The car was being serviced and MOTd. He dropped the car roof then caught the bus home - making use of his bus pass. Back home he carried on with the accounts until it was time to get the bus back to Chichester. The service was brilliant. He left home at 1555 and was at the bus station in Chichester at 1610. It would be difficult to do much better in the car.

The car got a clean bill of health and is now nestled on the drive... next service is either August 2019 or 125,000 miles; whichever comes first. As the Gorse Fox has only managed 12,400 in the last four years he suspects the mileage threshold will not be too relevant.
