    I'm glad the slush fund is growing ... erm, since you're doing the transfers online, any chance of him eventually finding out? Sorry to ask it :o

    Depends how much he digs I suppose. But he does not actually have access to the business bank account and the numbers I use of the log in are unusual and nothing like I would usually pick so I think that is covered. I also have my own accounts - again - he can dig but he doesn't know about one of them so I think I am as ok as I can be.
    He did ask me why the business was making any money and I shrugged and said Brexit.
    He did persist with what had Brexit to do with anything and I simply asked if he had seen the state of the pound on the currency markets
    vague answers ... little explanations ... I'm practicing and learning as I go. For someone who has previously overshared this is a new thing
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Been very lapse at checking in here but been busy in life. Just looking after 3 horses house and dog and cat on own with full time job is actually quite a lot to do. I never noticed that before :rotfl: I suppose Mr W must do a bit around the place :rotfl:
    He'll be back from his trip soon enough. After this morning's alarm I made a long list of personal stuff that is nagging me and then took most of today off tackle the list. Still have to organise a hair cut and organise getting to a specialist lab in London for a blood test - but- feel so much brighter now a lot of admin stuff has been tackled.

    Bit of a spendy day too but all necessary stuff like worm tests for horses (lab test to count worms and see if they need worming as is cheaper and better than just giving wormers) and hay and registering charming cob with a competition body and goodness the list seemed endless. Now off to running club so flying visit. More tomorrow :)

    Very. Today I have decided on a couple of work priorities so hopefully that will be the same level of satisfaction :)


    Elderly horse has a massage/physio session as he is very stiff at the moment so hopefully he will feel better afterwards, an online shop being delivered and a coaching session later ...but 3 work priorites settled on. One routine the others include opening 3 days worth of mail and answering emails. I am certain those emails breed overnight :)

    Was a late night working last night but the benefit was I got to have coffee with work friends this morning and not feel guilty. Home now and just off to find a left over burger and salad for lunch prior to settling down to a bit of work.
    Mr W away for a few nights so thats nice :)

    Sadly it is not happening. He is apparently returning home as due to protests in central London unable to get a van out of the area to make the trip.
    And I had the rest of my week planned :(
