'D' DAY IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER! WILL IT BE ENOUGH?

Hi Guys,

Just a brief one this time round.

Last time I wrote I was hurtling towards the unknown.  Next week is D DAY week.  Will I have done enough to hang on?  This time next week I will have a better idea as to the answer of that particular question.

That is when I will find out exactly what will be 'not' coming in to pay for all that goes 'out' and how massive that 'shortfall' will be that I have been fearing now for many many months and what impact that will mean!

Ergo, 'home' or 'no home'.

First off, had that Market day.  I actually did better than I expected and had ever done before and got rid of quite a lot.  But, gee, what a lot of work for so little when you get to the end.  No matter, it still all helped in the end.  It meant just that bit extra down on the first high interest smaller debt.

Here are some shots from the day.  Starting out with a filled to the brim car and my trusty mascot dragon in the front.

What made the day so enjoyable other than actually getting to clear some of my 'stuff' is the other market stall holders and how friendly they are, along with a few friends coming to say hello.  Made my day.

I also have done some driving, mainly airport runs and a few Spring Horse Racing trips in the mix that has also helped via Uber and my personal contacts.

Here is my POV (point of view) while waiting watching the planes land.

And this is a 360 degree photo from my office.

Through sheer determination and hard yakka, some very dear friends, my daughter and future son-in-law and son, the smaller of the 2 debts is almost gone.  This does not mean I am out of the woods just yet, but it does create a very very small breathing space for now.

Will know next week if it will be enough to help keep me going under, even if it does mean it is still off the smell off the smell off the smell off an oily rag.  I just may save my home yet.

Last, is the eBay items.  My goodness what a palava that is.  Strike rate is less then 50% of what you place selling with first time round generally a dud and the waiting and the redoing and the queries and the postage at the countless post office trips and the oh my goodness gracious me all the other stuff that one has to do to sell one simple item for next to nix.  Which translates into "oh so time consuming", and again, hardly worth all the effort it takes to put together, but it has meant slowly getting that smaller debt down.  And for that I am truly grateful.

Just taking one minute at a time for the time being when I find myself starting to over think about the future.  Brighter days just have to be ahead.

Next will be taking more photos with a friend over the weekend to keep up the momentum with the selling off the 'stuff'.  That and taking some larger items to an Auction House and hope to goodness they sell.

Will let you all know soon enough how much I have achieved.  Whether it is enough to get me through Christmas till early next year.  Or, to get me through to early May, which is a point I am trying to get to where finances can be rearranged to help get further along.  Or, miracle of all miracles I have saved the day enough in order to stay put just for those few more years that I had planned toall along.

Fingers crossed folks as the timing means all the difference to what kind of next and final chapter I get to live out.

Ciao for now folks
Anita
