After a short conversation at work, I was led to do two things. Firstly, oil one day off with my son over his OCTOBER holiday to reduce the guilt a tiny bit that he has to go to school holiday club when off school.
Secondly, I looked at houses to rent in denholme which led me to see a 3 bedrooms house with off road parking and other attractive offerings, all for the same as I'm paying. The biggest plus of all is that it's the village next to my son, about ten minutes away rather than the thirty which I currently am.
But as good as this discovery was, I'm in no financial position to move and still have my 'yearly' contract to see out.
The ball started rolling in my brain and the finding has worked as an incentive to fuel my saving up. I cancelled Lovefilm and Empire magazine subscription and thought about how to further save money. The thought of living nearer my boy and step kids is a pleasing one. But truth be told, Denholme is neither as pretty or as tranquil as Silsden where I currently reside.
The basic thing about this all is that I now have at least one plan for my future. Something to aim for.
My worry though (and there is always some cloud) is that I have no actual problem with where I am, plus I rent off my boss, who I'll have to disappoint by moving out. I'm sure he'll find some other tenant mind you.
All I really need now is more overtime.
The gym is finally showing results I can see. Is this down to my recent whey powder? Doubtful, not so soon. I can't see myself buying a second tub. Not now that I'm saving up. If I moved I'd probably have to leave the gym too which would save me £20 per month. Although, you have to have something for your pleasure.
