Less worrying, more blogging. Could be a mantra, I suppose.
"God knows what the decorator made of this house" sighed Bonnie when she got back, "Ian gambling in the front room, you upstairs telling fortunes."
No, she was not best pleased with her son's latest escapade but she seems to have become somewhat stoical of late. Adopted a kind of what next attitude.
I think it's a shame she can't live with her husband. It's a lot to do with having to keep this house going for Ian. I think her job is too stressful and her health is not really up to it. She was rushed into hospital earlier this year with an angina attack.
Still, stressful or not, she's on £30,000 a year.
What did I make today? £3!
Still, did ok yesterday. Worked on Line 2 for 3 hours in the evening and was quite busy. Tarot lines are much more lucrative 'of a night' which explains why I'm sitting here now, blogging between calls.
Hackney House has a broken back window. Bonnie still advising me to sell it and she's probably right. I'm mean what if I have to pay thousands for re-wiring e.g. But how do I pay the mortgage on it before it sells?
Oh, stop worrying, it'll give you wrinkles.

No, it sure doesn't solve anything by worrying. Just causes more grief. Hugs

Not really the time to be selling property unless you're prepared to accept some silly offers. If you can, hang on for another couple of years.
Still all things are relative. You may have bought it for a song a few years back and still be making a hefty profit if you sell.-

that is it really. I bought it just before the prices went up, more luck than judgement. If I sell it I should be able to buy one outright up here.
it would just be less of a worry sold. rented, something is always going wrong. At present, the back garden smells (pond trouble possibly), a window is broken, tap loose.....
it will just take one big repair bill for me to be in real trouble.
but if i sell it next june, i have to sell it quick. then again, maybe the tarot lines will have picked up and i will be able to afford the mortgage until it sells. but then if my income improves, i can afford the repairs....
god knows. i'll see next year.-

I did the move oop north a few years ago myself. Sold my place in the New Forest, moved back up to Lincolnshire (my home county) and was able to buy a farmhouse (eight bedrooms and dilapidated) out-right. Tarted it up, that is to say, tastefully restored, moved back dahn sarf and got divorced and lost the fucking lot. Ho-Hum.

I am so sorry. That seems to happen to a lot of men (don't know about women). My ex-boyfriend lost his big house in Essex (his wife got it). It didn't exactly help our relationship because he had expected to get half when they divorced. Then again, he had not expected to divorce, that was his wife's idea.
I don't know. I'm not planning to marry anytime in the future and if I was I would seriously think about it.-

I'm well over the loss of house, it was the loss of my kids that, at the time, completely bollocksed me and I'm over that too. But thanks for your concern all the same.
Denny.
Worrying does one no good. Easy for me to say, I know...hugs
