Something which have kept us busy lately are insurances and cheques. Both rather annoying. Some hospital bills are sent straight to the insurance company, and some are sent to us (dunno why). Now, most of the bills can only be paid by cheque and the hilarious thing is, that one bill came just before Christmas and it said it was due before year end. Right, that would have worked had we been able to pay it online, but know, after phoning them up we were told, checks only. Arrggh. Off to the post office, which apparently shuts at 4.30. No wonder they are thinking about closing the post offices down, what fulltime employed person can make it to the post office during the week?
However, since the bills are dropping in at the moment, we are busy writing out cheques and buying stamps (bought some at the machine, now THAT was rocket science!!, makes German bureaucracy look easy).
Another insurance driving us up the walls is the car insurance. We swapped insurance companies back in October and not one statement as been correct so far. NOT ONE. Lucky for us and unlucky for them we have learnt every and anything here needs to be scrutinized here so we keep chasing them. Sigh.
