Mortgage Free now aiming for FIRE

Ordered the car and signed the agreement I have never spent that much on a car but hopefully we will keep it a long long time due to the depreciation. I have researched chargers and it looks like getting the electrician to install them is the best option and then not take on a subscription as we drive so little but need to check with BIL.

DGs hearing did not go that well as the other side were really horrible and applied bully tactics so she gave up work about 3pm and we went to try another chemist and guess what not in stock and only 4 places has it. I did find an app that shows where in the country they are but nearest is 100 km away which is crazy. The prescription is for 1 month only so I cannot see myself doing this every month it would drive me crazy. I wonder if I should just give up and come off it. If I stay off medication for 1 year I can join the insurance and get cheaper meds for life. I have to be med free for 1 year and I only have until I turn 60 to join which I agree is stupid and unfair. I think I will call the gyno I saw and see what they suggest. Yes i should have looked earlier but I really thought it would be easy to get hold off. I have messaged them and lets see if I should just stop I am quite frankly rather fed up now with the whole thing. I mean I waited 3 months for the appointment and then this feels like such a waste of time. One thing that does not seem better in the UK.

Sorry for the moan but it is really getting to me and I wish I had started looking much earlier.

I called about my op and it is with the specialist doctors diary so I just have to wait. I got them to block out 2 weeks in Aug when we are in the UK.

Sorted an old account out and got it closed after getting bored with their weekly emails so that is no longer cluttering up my emails. DG is totally stressed due to her cases so nothing new there. I have that survey call in 30 min so best get prepared.

Morning going to be 23 degrees here before the weekend heatwave at 27 so golf tonight should be really nice.

I did get a few things ticked off the list yesterday but more to do today in particular the china I really want to put it away now it is in the way. I think the car is booked but not heard from dealer will chase on Monday if I do not hear anything maybe they only order once a month who knows 🤔.

The company I have my investments with her in Denmark wants to stop foreign payments so I will ask my cash ISA to be cashed in and move it over asap. I need it for the car and it makes sense to have everything in one place.

I have messaged the gyno asking what I can do about not being able to get the prescription. There is currently only 1 chemist in Denmark that has them in stock which is rather stupid that you cannot pre order. I have found another 4 patches which are not the same but I might be able to use to stretch things a bit further. We shall see.

Garden still progressing I am loving it but the slugs are really a nightmare. I am now using beer in milk cartons at least they can be chucked afterwards. I rigged the hose up last night for the bottom of the garden to water the grass as I found a brand new water spreader in the shed. Very nice win but you still have to move it along as it does not cover the whole to the patch. I am having to step on the new lawn to move it which is not ideal but not sure what else I can do. Lets just hope the grass starts growing soon. I am going to let the rest of the plot continue with long grass the the farmer will cut that in the autumn and then I can get my new yet to be bought robo to take over and keep it down. I want to plant some more fruit trees on the plot and maybe take cuttings of the black and red current bushes and move those. They do take a lot of space up in the main garden but are well established so seems a shame to lose them. I should get a good crop this year.

I got 3 loads of washing done yesterday and just brought the last in as we it is now raining which was not forecast. Obviously good for the grass so not complaining. The electricity was 4 times higher than normal last night between 8pm and 9pm so need to be extra careful with when we do things.

Sorted DGs eye app out you can just book one with a specialist no need to go via the optician so that was easy. We need to call to book the smear that did not have an online option.

Sorted electrician not with reply and also asked him to fit a new smoke alarm as the other one broke.

I need to go to the shops to get some essentials we are running really low on everything.

Lovely weekend the work day for the local area was lovely I learnt to willow weave which was great fun and I now have willow to make my own plant supports which is well cool actually. We had a dinner together in the evening so met some new people and got to know the nearest neighbours even better. The ones with the dog who bite our cat are actually really nice. We have invited them to use the pool bar to make some angels in willow in October for Halloween then we can have a meal in the evening. Should be fun.

Moved the back lawn but not the new part or the front it quite hot so not keen to do it. Cannot wait until I get a robo I really do need it.

Not a lot else to report have a lovely Monday and try to stay cool.
