Cheers...I've done it now. You're right.

Nearly all my savings accounts with half decent rates have come to an end. My last NS&I account which was 5 years index-linked to RPI + 0.01% expires early May. It's just under £20k but I'm lost as to where to put it. They are offering a 3 year index linking to CPI + 0.01%. I know it's crap but there are no good options.

I was thinking of buying a garage there (as you know there are several rows of them) and got speaking to a resident in the block of flats. Can't remember all the details but he said maintenance was dreadful, there were leaks which didn't get fixed etc. Can't remember all the issues but it sounded pretty bad and he was desperate to sell and get out. Didn't buy the garage as it was leasehold with lots and lots of conditions and costs.

Am clearing up my laptop and came across a pdf of 5 Marine Terr. I'd been interested to see what it was going to sell for as I seem to remember it kept being heavily reduced. Interesting price history. 5 marine tce oo450k.pdf

Bet it's Fishers...nouveau riche. Fixtures and fittings are really cheap though.

Pre-covid we would eat out about 3 x weekly. Have now got used to Waitrose deliveries and "cooking" at home. Not interested in going out to eat as it wouldn't be relaxing. Home made pizzas https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/northern-dough-co-original-pizza-dough/893403-307494-307495 and a bottle of wine in the back garden suits us at the moment. PS It's great pizza dough.

One tends to remember (good?) story tellers.

But but, I thought your AirBnB was doing so well and you imply you are such a wise investor...why would you be desperately trying to sell?

Well there will always be those who have no scruples. No-one I know would stoop so low.

Hah, I noticed that too and I kept repeating it correctly after she had spoken. Was really weird.
