Breaking Through, Travelling On

You are wearing me out just reading your lists. I do love a good list though

Any interesting properties that might tempt you?

:rotfl: I'm making up for lost time, thats what this is! And I'm not doing much else, to be honest, I'm not yet out and about, except for trips such as the one that starts tomorrow, to see my brother.

No big plans for me to move back up north either ... I'm being a bossy person and checking things out on behalf of others

The reason for the continuing big push on the house and garden is simple – I'm dealing with years of neglect when about 90% of my energy was spent on my paid work, and now I've retired, neither the house nor the garden are comfortable places to be, in the state they're in, not now that I've mostly recovered my health. But nor do I want to put off having a life outside for much longer – the friend I cancelled on today, I've rejigged that, hopefully, for 1st April – and thats that, I'm off, I'm spreading my wings after that.


Your concern, and your comments, are much appreciated, thank you all :kisses3:


And today's list:

• phone dentist, make a routine appointment for end of month.
• check the private pensions, then arrange to make the new contribution, £2.5k – it could be a bit more, but with all the probate money coming down the pike, I don't want to confuse the issue.
• bit of scanning, then back up the computer.
• clean and tidy! I did do quite a bit more garden work yesterday, on a quadrant (of cherry laurel rubbish) that hadn't been touched, so I feel good about that.
• phone sister.
• pack.
• prepare a few blog posts.

Well you can't just lob it in the bucket and not elaborate!!

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I love that!

Preparing to travel today, and figuring out what pension payment I could safely make for now, and that led to looking at my current net worth, and that frightened me into metaphorically standing stock still and bleating, "what shall I do now!" over and over and every job felt like it was too big to start *then*, because of going away today, and all in all, it wasn't a good morning

I tell you what, people - I was already in my 50s when I found mse, and if I'd come across it earlier, or stumbled onto even the American early versions of their own mse-type people, life would be really different right now.

Never mind, there are still a couple of ways to make a couple of grand a year - the catsitting, and the writing and designs. And when I get back, the first thing I do will be to sell online all the stuff thats hanging around the house, whether thats furniture on a fb page or books on Amazon. Got to get going on that - and this sort of thing is why I need the annual plan, which I still haven't uploaded in detail because there are so many bits that need doing, thats where the paralysis comes from ...

And breeeeaaaaaattttttthhhhhhhheeeeeeeee ....

See you next week, lovely peeps :kisses3:



ETA - just finishing off the post - my Net Worth just increased by £3451 after opening a letter from a pension provider it really is worth opening the post sometimes.

Great post opening KC! I don't know how you put it off - I am clearly still a big kid when it comes to post and am excited about opening it every day, even when I know it won't contain anything exciting!

Have a great weekend oop north!
