Ooh, I wonder if Fringe is on Sky 3 (or youtube, lol) - I think I liked that one before I got rid of Sky.

Other news - between playing free bingo (and winning £2.50, lol) I've been out in the front sawing up branches and sticking them in the bottom of the bin - some are so broad I've put them by to take round to a neighbour, since I noticed she has a woodburner. I *will* get the dratted walls safe!

Amanda was one of those kids who were taken to Canada age 2 as their parents emigrated - I was nearly one myself, but my dad was over there first looking for a job - he couldn't get one in his trade, so went lumberjacking, and injured his back. Really! My dad's a lumberjack!

Mutters about Bingo again- have had a quick look for Fringe episodes, they are being a bit tighter about it understandably so.

Right. I've been in a bit of a funk today, and I've kind of snapped out of it - the thought of *having* to move, because I don't have any money, was scaring me - partly because going mortgage free wouldn't actually solve the underlying lack of money problem the interest component of my mortgage is literally £20 a week....

So. Back to reality. I added up the bits and bobs I've got stashed away in various places, and admittedly a *lot* of it is in the mortgage overpayment fund at Nationwide. Well, so what, its still my money. I have enough money for now and for a short time in the future - so now, to see about various alternatives: these include permutations of:

- minimum repairs
- no repairs at all
- staying put and degenerating
- moving out to mid-Sussex
- moving out to a camper van and renting out my bricks and mortar, wherever that may be.
- taking on an extra job.
- starting up another self employment element in my present field.
- starting up another self employment element in a different field.

Those are the alternatives, some of which are mutually exclusive, others not so much. I'm not going to die, my life is going to change - the reason behind it isn't great, but much, much worse things happen, all over the world, all the time.

My thoughts are

1. I know you need to make a sensible decision
2. But you also need to go with your heart and do what you want to do

As you more than anybody know life is too unpredictable to be too sensible so I would decide what would make you happy and stress free and then work out what you need to do to get there and then go do it and we will be cheering you on all the way.

:rolleyes: Should really take my own advice and decide what that is for me too.

Oh I like that. Off the cuff, that would be:
- minimum repairs.
- sell this place.
Then, I'm not sure. But thats valuable in itself, thank you

Well that's a good first couple of steps so get on with it and perhaps the rest will get clearer as you go along.

Well, I have been! While I'm waiting for the next free bingo, and the time to call my mum, I've been washing down a wall and the skirting board underneath, free of dirt and the odd speck of plaster that got stuck from replastering, and the odd piece of leftover wallpaper - so I can put the base coat on (some of) that bare plaster in the kitchen.
