Another pri!me user. Was going to ditch but really for the watching stuff it seemed a good plan.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 !!0 -
It is what it is seems to be my new mantra.
A friend says it a lot & now I do too!

I'm slightly peeved that my videos are too big to go onto my kindle, or rather too big to upload. I wonder if I could upload them to dropbox and download them onto kindle from there? More of that sort of stuff today, and some writing, for the blog and for family.2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -

I don't know - I think you achieved a goodly amount and without overdoing it - sounds like a great result to mexx

Thank you greent! Yep, its that balance, thats the most important thing - doing stuff, without overdoing it.
I've been slowly moving stuff around upstairs, ready to move the single bed into the Cosy Corner and have it more useable, rather than just a stacking place. That can't happen in full until I get rid of all the cushions that belonged to my previous sofa and set of armchairs - the plan was to renew the webbing, which had perished, but I've scrubbed that idea, I remember a certain amount of discomfort! Getting rid is another matter - can't do the run to the council extra rubbish collection either today, not in this wind and rain.
I need to do some writing today - a blog post if I can, plus some I can transfer onto my kindle, so I can take it up north and make editing notes.
Amazon have replied to my message about getting my own videos from youtube onto my kindle - asking me to phone/livechat. A piece of software is needed, so I'll see what they recommend, it *should* be fine, famous last words.
And I know what else I can do up north next week - I can start sorting papers, I'm the one my mum always talked to about finances, and there's the genealogy paperwork too ... plenty there to be getting on with.2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Difficult times ... not great news from Merseyside, and still stuff to do here before I'm ready to go up there tomorrow, so the diary's being suspended for a while, I'll be back later, but not right now.
Thank you all so much for the love and support, hugely appreciated.
