The business is very 'niche' but I think I could find others. Having run all the figures with IFA I am slightly better off financially in the future if I sell because my pension pot can remain untouched for a couple of years so the only bonus selling is that I get my time back and I can live on what I get for it.

The flip side is I can employ someone and get my time back that way and so the outcome would be fairly similiar.

Email from her accountant suggesting we meet online on Thursday but she still has to confirm. I think after this meeting decisions will need to be made on both sides.

At the moment I'm doing things work wise that will benefit the company if I keep it or sell it (so regulatory compliance) but not things that would grow it. Those ideas are parked for now. I do have a potentially good idea but that is with my freelance designer to develop a little bit and I'm happy to pay her, she really needs a little income, and this is either an idea I will run with eventually or the new person can but either way designer gets an amount of money to go on holiday and my only time is a few emails on progress.

Sunday was a gentle lovely day and I finally got back on Most Handsome. I've not ridden him since health problems really flared up and it was such a joy - although - I was a little nervous. I had fun, but my goodness my legs ached. VNM hung around 'in case'

Having really enjoyed it I looked at the pics he took and reflected on the ride and messaged a local posh dressage trainer that I know because she uses my place to train a neighbour. She knows health issues. She is going to come over on Tuesday for half an hour. I'm really looking forward to it. I've already said her role is to push me to ride him properly and relax and not worry (big task!) but also she is calm and if I have a problem she can just deal with it whereas VNM worries and therefore worries me!

This month was all about saving as much as I can so I can finally clear the credit card but paying her I consider a big investment in my future :)
