My life

This is to keep the account open and to try and understand what's going on. The next big hurdle we have is the MOT on the car. I don't know if they have the same thing in the USA, but its an annual test to see if your car is roadworthy. Ours is an old car, with problems, so we are hoping and praying it passes. Money wise, we are not on rock bottom, but the shares have done so poorly of late, that they is little to draw upon. Don't want to moan, but my stars are looking good if nothing else....

A brief note to say Hi, and just let you know we are still here and hanging on. People have been so kind to my silly posts, but the truth is nothing has really happened to us. The shares are doing OK, but not enough to live on. I do have a few irons in the fire, but nervous about writing about it, because it steps over the mark and might offend some religious people. But I am thrilled to be doing it and see a very good future in the whole project. I used to write a lot about my spiritual world,... Sign in to see full entry.

When I look back on old files and old articles, I often find things that I tried to make money out of. One of them was Web design. Really it was just making web pages to flip for money, there was no long term plan for the things, just take the money and run. I got sidetracked by pyramid selling and then sidetracked again by stocks and currency selling. But I often look back and wonder what would have happened if I had made it as a web writer? It soon occurred to me that the big problem was... Sign in to see full entry.

Just a note to let you all know I'm still here and want to keep the account going. Mother had a bad fall, but she's bouncing back. Wish I could make enough for her to take things east, but the markets are against me at the moment. I did want to make regular entries, telling the world how clever I was and how well I was doing. But as you might have guessed, that would be wrong. The stocks have bounced back, but most of my money is in crypto's and they are doing appalling. I would not recommend...

Strange to think that the one thing I tried so hard to achieve has now come about. I tried so hard to get Mum and my sister back together again, and now it's happened, I feel guilty about wanting it so much. I feel selfish for wanting that one thing, purely because it suited me. It was for pure ego reasons and now I feel so shallow for trying to move people towards what I wanted. I did point out to Mother that she only got in touch because she wanted something, and she agreed. But at least it... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, we got a shock this morning, as my sister Sarah wanted to come over to see Mother. The real reason was the dog had died and could we bury it in the garden. Very sad, but he was happy running in this garden. After having so many months of never seeing her, we were pleasantly surprised to see her and the rest of the family. Sign in to see full entry.

Have not had anything in the post about the speeding ticket. So here's hoping. Big changes in the village, as old buildings are being pulled down. New ones going up. This was the old pub. Sign in to see full entry.

Thanks to everyone who sent me support, it really helps. Another day has gone and we have escaped the post. I've noticed that the local town market has picked up, with everyone gambling on a big surge in spending. Not sure if it will work out. Lots of things cancelled, due to the lack of support in cancellation insurance. Sign in to see full entry.

Not much happening here, but I feel I have to say something just to keep the account going. Had my second jab for Covid-19 so all that is behind us now. Even though most businesses are struggling. The only cloud on the horizon is the speed camera van. I was sure we were going more than 30 as we passed it, so we live in fear now of getting a notice through the post. There is no way of knowing if you got caught, so we have to wait for 14 days and live in fear of the postman. I suspect it will be... Sign in to see full entry.

We are struggling to get some money back from the bank. In the UK the banks went through a period of overcharging people for things, and even making up charges that never existed. I hold a joint account with my Mother and she has been overcharged for 20 years. the amount of money comes in somewhere around two thousand pounds and well over two thousand Dollars. Not much to some, but a fortune to us. Mother did get back money from the PPI scandal, which amazed us, and the firm which handled it... Sign in to see full entry.
