House and Holidays

House Extension

My brother in law was hoping to extend his house but it seems like he has been turned down for the loan. I think that he wanted to increase his mortgage to pay for it, but the bank are not so happy to lend him more money. He easily extended it when he converted his loft and his income is higher than it was then but I think that with the lending problems that banks are having, they are being tighter with their money. I am not sure where he is going to find the money from now, but I am sure he will find a way some how.

Favourite Travel

I guess that my favourite travel experience was going to Perth in Australia. I have family out there and got to meet cousins which I had never seen before as well as their children and families. To me that was better than actually seeing the country, which was very interesting as well. We were in Perth which was pretty and fun and we visited the gold mining area, explored the bush, old fashioned towns, the city centre and parks as well as other towns in the area and had lots of fun even though it was winter time and raining a lot!

Banking the Cards

I think that banks should be a lot stricter with their credit cards. People seem to be able to get into debt so easily. I think if they brought back the charge for cards, then this may put people off having so many. Then they should make sure that people realise how much they will end up having to pay back if they do not pay the balance in full each month. If they make sure that every one understands this then it may stop them getting into so much trouble. I guess the banks would make less money out of the interest but with interest rates so low at the moment they are not making much anyway.
