Breaking Through, Travelling On

I meant to take a trip to a local NT property today, as all my rellies are in Norfolk, but I've messed up with the bus timings to such out of the way places it will have to be tomorrow now.

So, post was opened, and there are 3 online payments to be made, plus some jiggery pokery between current account and savings accounts. That will mean that I really can then do an accurate assessment of the financial situation (except more probate cheques have come in. These are small, though, and even I can divide by 3 for the prospective amount ).

I have a slight headache, so more food is an essential. Later on, I *might* even be organised enough to start practising SL's Yorkies

Morning

I had a proper sleep last night, blissful

I'm knocking the NT visit on the head, I want to do as much prep as I can for the arrival of stuff from my mum's house on Saturday.

MSE-wise, I *will* do the update on Net Worth, the last one was 1st July, and a lot has changed since then.

Okay. Well, um, NW is good! A few forward pointers stand out:
- I still need to be frugal, because there's no more income coming in from anywhere.
- but I can most definitely have a life!
- some focussed dfw work like a few surveys, and even a bit on sb if I get a new phone and can handle the phone methods of making free money, that will be fine.
- most of the cash I was due to inherit is now in my accounts. And I never, ever included it in my own pension provisions, because I expected my mum to need it, to live to be older than her own mum, and she didn't.
- the new Post Office Easy Saver is good, as are the two new Regular Savers, and the Ratesetter accounts, though the admin emails of the latter have some sort of difference this month - I think its as simple as a big early repayment from a borrower has meant more info coming to me. I'll check.
- I definitely need to derisk the pensions - they're not 100% stocks and shares, there's some cash, and there's some funds, but I haven't been happy for ages with the balance, and I still haven't done anything. Bad Me!
- French apartment - I originally valued it at £70k, I think thats probably optimistic, I've put it down to £35k. It might go for more, which would be very nice, and I'd certainly put it *on* for more.

So, my house is £300k, apartment is £35k, pension funds are £57k, house inheritance next year will be about £65k. Inherited dosh of £23k after expenses, and healthy chunks of cash and tax sheltered stocks and shares from my own savings. Blimey. Once you lift your nose up from the grindstone, sometimes life looks quite different!
