what have you done this week?

This wasn't a typical week for me. I’ve had a cut on my heel for a couple of weeks so I’ve been missing gym class, dance and padel matches, then I got a two day tummy bug at the beginning of the week and decided not to go to craft club too, in case I passed it on. People noticed my absence(s) and messaged - my fears about social isolation were unfounded. And I did manage to get to Pilates and yoga.

I’m quite relaxed about finances. We’ve just had to order a new boiler and the cash is there. We’re schlepping to the big city in Monday for a free lunchtime concert and to open a branch-only regular saver, and I’m hopefully back at gym from Tuesday, before I get too out of condition ie back to my pre-retirement condition.

Began a transfer a Cash ISA to Close Brothers. Started last Tuesday and it's beena pain in the but.

First message can't process (after taking all particulars) ring Customer Service.

Rang Customer Service. We are having technical problems, will ring you back later. Didn't.

Rang again. Agent says they need identity information. Sent Thursday.

Thinking of cancelling altogether if no response on Monday.

That's my financial news of week!

This week I have been out shopping for some new outdoor walking clothes (with 20% discount vouchers). Later I met two friends for lunch yesterday. We had planned a walk but the weather was too wet. Today I went to a language meet up and practised French and a little Portuguese. I also had my Portuguese lesson on Thursday.

Yesterday I was helping to marshal a rally on Exmoor.

My insulated, waterproof overalls definitely came in handy!

I've played four full rounds of golf, swam 50 lengths (=1km) three times , paid my annual membership fees for Bannatyne's (which is where I swim), done three stretching sessions at the gym, batch cooked some curries and soups, finished a book and started a new one, went a 30km bike ride with a friend to a favourite cafe for their All Day Breakfast, attended a Keep Fit session at local community centre, had Wednesday night in the pub and averaged 12,000 steps a day. The funny thing is though, before writing this down I felt as if I've not done much with the week…..

For the last two weeks I’ve resisted opening the ii app. Training myself to stop looking at it multiple times a day. Never did this most of my life so…

I need to also stop reading finance subreddits as I’m getting indirect nerves. Not checked my balance in Fidelity for 6 months and only checked my RL workplace to time a partial transfer

Yeah it’s tough initially to stop looking. Wonder if I can hold off until the Trump era is over?
