In the Meantime

Brie

Do you have a decent bike shop near you that might sell it on commission?  Save you the hassle of no shows and time wasters from the local sites.

I hope your vendor finds something soon.  The whole house buying process is so stressful!

When your purchase is near completion, you'll make a decision about the bike. 

Could you take a note pad and homemade coffee to the park and transfer all decisions to the laptop when home, or use your creative workspace for them. You've already paid for it. I guess it boils down to what's cheaper, travel or coffee.

Thanks everyone 

@Brie good idea. I will ask around

@jwil you are right it is stressful! Hoping I. am on my way to a new home...

@MovingForwards the plan is to use the sale of the bike for housing costs so if I  choose to sell it would be sooner rather than later. Creative space is great when I have more time. It is closed for holidays. Upcoming week I have appointments every day but hope to get back to using creative space when back from break. It is a productive space that I. have paid for it is true! 

So, a few quiet days. I. had a declutter and clean. Today I. am tackling paperwork.

FROGS
I have a few tech frogs

• software issue I need to post on tech forum on
• change to newer computer once software sorted as older computer has issues and is becoming tiresome to use

I have a financial frogs and need to

• draft a letter pension
• arrange an OD as an additional line of credit (not to be used)

I did an evening walk yesterday and will do one today

MSE I had a YS shop where every item was YS including fillet steak that was reduced to 1.42.

Hope everyone is ok.

your YS haul sounds amazing.

plus well done on the pension frog - I saw your posts on the pensions board and the posters who helped answer are the regulars - helpful and knowledgeable day in and day out

Good luck with the admin and frogs. Very productive shop, steak was a bargain!

Regarding the hopeful purchase of your new home ..hang in there and hopefully it will be the ' normal ' anxiety of Hse purchase that yourself and your vendor are going through and everything comes together 🤞
I wouldn't change area though if I could help it , as you are putting everything into being in your preferred spot . Again 🤞

Everything else sounds okay though . 

Regarding software issues and possible newer computer; I'd advise you to stick to Mac .
Also , it may be a case of having to get a couple of cheap hard drives , plus if an application won't work on your newer Mac then if it still works on the older one you may no need a new one . If you get no joy from tech forum ,I may be able to advise .

Anyway, I'll leave it there ..

Glad things are coming together.

Thanks @another_casualty and @savingholmes

So, relative emergencies keep springing up. Doing my best to support whilst maintaining boundaries...Visited today and back late and tired.

Dentist finally! I don't need any new treatment . I have a tooth that has had everything over the years but now it needs removing. I  was leaving it but now it is getting wobbly so rather than have an issue I  have been referred so it can come out. NHS  so might take a while...I  had my teeth cleaned and it is now £63!!!!!! Together with check up £90...Hygenist wants me back in the early autumn but she admits I am doing well despite over 2 years since last visit, so I  decided I am going to clean teeth twice a year. I. can't afford £63 every 12 weeks just to get my teeth cleaned...Glad I  finally went.

I need to take some money from my solicitor costs as there was not enough in my account to pay for my teeth...

Tech continues to plague me. I am locked out of my email account. Arrgggh 

I  have an appointment re my trial tomorrow. I  have some time in the afternoon when I. plan to tackle a frog or two.

I hope everyone is ok.

Hope relative is being shared fairly with others.

How much for the dentist 😲

Good luck with cracking your emails, frogs and trial. Everything will work itself out.

Find a pool to have a swim, relax and soak away the stresses.
