Only 21 days of Summer left and it will be Autumn. I think I’m already over it. Bring on Autumn.
The heat hasn’t been too bad since we spent the bad days in Thailand. It’s the flies and ants that gets to me. The ants come inside when it’s hot.
Now I’ve got ants crawling all over my dinner table.
Today will be interesting. My walking buddy wanted to meet again. I had to tell him no. He’s already had his slot on Wednesday.
I’m popping out late morning to meet up with Mr Heightened. He’s been wanting to meet since Monday. He wanted Wednesday but that slot went to walking buddy so I had to delay him til today.
Work is piling up and I’m way behind. I’ve got volunteering to sort out and also school.
School is not bad just for some reason I can’t log into my email. Other than that it’s a breeze. We spent half the class last night risk management in the gardens.
I’ve got to research on Melbourne’s history to do a talk for our airport excursion. We all have to do a two minutes blurb on Melbourne.
Tomorrow we are hoping to go down to the hidey hole so hubby can work on the plastering . That way the tiler can come in with his team to do the tiling for us.
Hubby just found out we owe near 90K from a bad investment. We bought 6 hectares or was it acres of pine plantations 20-30 years ago. Well the trees that was supposed to be harvested and sold to offset the loan was damaged. The service company went into liquidation and they are demanding payments. Instead of having trees we now have no trees and about 90K debt.
Here is hoping they accept monthly payments as we don’t have 90K to pay them.
It’s like we never went on holidays.
Getting back to reality really blows, doesn’t it? $90,000?!? That’s a hit. Damn. That really, really blows. 😔

Yes, we had a bad accountant back then . His wife was a damn good lawyer. He was just plain awful. We lost quite a bit of money with him. When we ceased the partnership with our partner we found out we owed 80K in tax as he advised us to delay. When I went through our statements the tax man was taking $1000 every month as interest only. Thank goodness we got out of that mess. And now this. Lol Now we don’t have any investment at all. Once bitten twice shy.

What a crappy accountant. Jeez. I could see it if he were skimming y’all, but he just sounds inept. 😏

I know but the loan spanned 20-30 years ago. Apparently we only paid the interest and not the capital. Anyhow no use crying over spilt milk. Just have to deal with it. It’s like what else can life hit us with? At least it’s only money and we are all healthy, alive and kicking.

That’s true. That would stress me out so badly. I’m glad it was found out now and not later and I know you guys have to do whatever you have to do.

Just have to sit tight and deal with it. Guess no more holidays for a long while whilst it’s being paid off.
