Rambling Happenings

Lots of thoughts going on in my head with things changing.  I haven't slept much.  I had to really think about all that AJ said.  I talked with with him again about moving.  Basically he wants to first find out what we could get for our house, then see what the bank has to say.  He has figured out that instead of selling the house and using all the money to buy another house and have no money left - that it would be better to see if we could get a mortgage instead and just use some of the money from the sale - thus saving the rest.  Makes me a bit nervous to have a mortgage.  Never had one.  Being 54 yrs old (him 66 yrs) is also a bit nervous for me to have a mortgage at this age too.  In the end he might be right to figure it out this way.

Living here, we don't own the land, just the house, and the company that does is very into money so we could get hit with more and more increases.  They will be going for above guide line increases every year.  At some point living here might be very costly for us.

I have booked a estate agent for tomorrow to assess our house, and have booked an appoint with the bank person for Thursday.  Lastly I called Jacqui and asked to see her too to help me get some clarity.  I see her next Monday evening.  AJ is on board with all this.

I still lean towards Tillsonburg and also Colbourg area.  One in one direction and the other in the other direction.  Will be interested to hear what Jacqui helps me come to see.  Read about the Niagara / Fort Erie area and the web doesn't seem to be a good idea about moving there.

I went shopping this Monday, as I walked in, I saw a Boston Creme Pie cake and thought oh, one day I will get that.  SERIOUSLY???!!!!  I realized I really don't care for a Boston Creme Pie, and it isn't the pie I'd want, it's just the thought that I currently can't have it.  Normally I would just walk in, see it, dismissed it, and continued on.  It's because I'm still doing IP that I have these thoughts wandering thru.  Just keep wandering right out then too!!!

Didn't do much else today.  Thinking of all the stuff I will have to pack for us to show the house.  Ugh.  At least the place will be very clean.  ha ha ha. 😊
