Back to work?

I might have to return to full time work The money is running out and all my capital is tied up in the stock market. If I keep taking out from the principle of the capital, it will run out. I only need to work for 3 months maximum for the money to get to work and return me enough to live on. If I keep taking it out, it will not. The are plenty of jobs which I could do, as I have a car. But the biggest worry is my mother. She would be really upset if I went back to work and I'm not sure if I can... Sign in to see full entry.

Old works

Just looked through my file indexes and wiped out some old rubbish that I hoped people might read. What made me think people would have ever read that rubbish (as opposed to this rubbish?). Should we keep that old stuff? I've felt comfortable with the old entries here on Blogit. Although I have cut a lot of stuff out. I just did not feel that was ME anymore. When I look back over the web, I often think: "What are my old friends doing? And what sort of things are they writing?" The sad truth is,... Sign in to see full entry.

Still here!

Well, the car did not pass and we got a new (ish) one. Problems with that but I hope to get them fixed. The really big news is the fire in the village. A local guy, well known for doing his own DIY had to stand and watch his home go up in smoke. I knew something was wrong as the local dogs all began barking. The air outside was filled with smoke and the smell of plastic. I walked through the village to make sure Mother was alright at the Manor house where she worked, but they were all OK. The...

Just a note.

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....

Keep going!

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.

Web pages

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.

Hot!

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...

Funny old world.

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.

Sister!

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.

So far, so good.

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.
