Good luck with the conversation re paying back, those types of things are never fun.

well done on the kipper - vastly underrated

Thanks SH, I keep trying to push forward on the tech front so thank you 
Thanks lianne1984, I had the conversation. It was difficult but I'm hoping I get the money back...
Thanks WMD yes, that sums it up. I am feeling zen...or resigned, or defeated, not sure...it varies...
Yes, Mark I do love smoked fish, especially kippers 

I'm reading @WelshmansDaughter I just can't muster the energy to update. However, a brief update...

  put off posting by new MSE website
  No home yet, one possible hoping to view next week
  Paying off my CC bill in full after a small unexpected windfall
  Very restful rural break.
  Had a successful haircut
  Creative break coming up in a few months (hoping I get a grant...)
  Mindful eating and drinking
  Swam this week!

Will be posting more often once I shake this meh-ness...swimming will help 

Happy weekend everyone

Feeling meh! is relatable and sometimes just your own way of taking a break from it all.

On another thread (another forum in fact) a poster was worried about not getting his next property underway - the overwhelming advice was to persevere but keep generating interest on the money he had got from his previous sales and that it was unlikely to be eroded in value in terms of house price inflation - if anything things would become more affordable

I know your own experience may differ, but I just hoped it may reassure you that although you want to get on with your life, you should not feel your situation is worsening

Glad the break was restful and fingers crossed for the grant.
Keep up swimming as your inner calm resets, factoring in feel good fun helps.

Lovely to hear from you again.  Congratulations on your windfall.

Glad you had a lovely break, and hope you feel a bit better soon.

Good news about the small windfall and that you’ve put it to good use. 

Nice to see more 🙂 than 🙁 in your list.

Something I am learning- home is in the mind. A house is a place to live

Whoops posted too quickly there is a small nephew running around and now I have lost my train of thought entirely

Great news on the windfall.

Good luck with next week's viewing.

It is definitely swinging to being a buyer's market so hopefully things will go in your favour soon.
