NatWest Logic™ 🤡

NatWest want proof of address for my client.

They’ll accept a NatWest bank statement for other lenders…

But NatWest won’t accept their own bank statement. 😂

Other bank statement = ✅
Their own statement = ❌

Apparently, their own documents are only trustworthy when someone else is reading them.

Make it make sense. 🤦‍♂️

Then ended up with a fabulous dinner at The Unruly Pig

What a game this was to be part of!

Three games for the 🐧s yesterday and three wins!-

Whilst on paper it was only the Socials' second game, this was really their first proper match as a team after the Peterborough forfeit and what a way to get the season underway.
Leicester started the brighter of the two sides. A few balls over the top and their number 10 caused us plenty of problems early on, but Adam was alert to a goalkeeper mistake and punished it to give us the lead. The heat was taking its toll and changes were needed, but Leicester kept growing into the game. A five-minute spell where we switched off saw the game completely turn right on the cusp of half time, and suddenly we found ourselves 2-1 down at the break.

We came out for the second half looking to put things right, and Mike did exactly that with a well-worked goal after some neat link-up play with Joe. Unfortunately, Leicester hit back almost immediately with their third, and before we knew it they'd added a fourth and fifth. As the water break arrived with 15 minutes left, we were staring at a 5-2 deficit.

But if football has taught us anything, it's that games aren't won on paper.

We switched back to the front two of Reece and Adam, and suddenly the momentum changed. Adam rounded the keeper brilliantly to pull one back. Reece then finished superbly to make it 5-4, and when centre-back Bobby burst through and found himself one-on-one, he kept his cool to level the scores at 5-5.

With the clock ticking into the final minute, it looked like both sides would have to settle for a draw. Then Ste got forward and whipped a ball into the box. The keeper came out and kicked it clear, but he hadn't counted on Adam standing there like a brick wall. The ball cannoned off him, he stuck out a leg, and somehow it found its way into the net to complete his hat trick.

6-5.

Adam left it so late that Leicester barely had time to restart before the referee blew for full-time.

Credit to Leicester, who were excellent hosts and a very good side. In a game that had just about everything, our Man of the Match was Kingy, who never stopped battling, never stopped running, and has probably left half his skin behind in Leicester for them to remember him by.

What a start to the season. What a comeback.
What a game!

Base rate stays at 3.75%, and that's welcome news! In a world full of uncertainty, it's reassuring to see some stability. Higher rates affect us all, from mortgages to everyday spending, so holding steady is a positive step. Here's hoping calmer times are ahead, and we start to see rates ease in the months ahead.
