Life post house move ...

I've been a bit remiss about my blogging these past few weeks, due mostly to the house move to pastures green. The move went well although there was a moment of 'Mexican standoff' half way up the hallway stairs where (whilst precariously balancing a large sofa bed) I shouted "it WILL go up" and my other half replied "it WON'T". Needless to say it did, I was right, enough said!

So the home life is semi sorted (albeit with rubbish Internet connection, currently am relying on my dongle thingy - cant wait for the wifi to be connected next week) it was back to work with a vengeance. That's the rub with being self employed, when the work stops so does the income so all periods of absence from work have to carefully managed.

I had a pretty good week this week, my colleagues and I met a great developer building lovely developments on a golfing resort in Portugal. Provided the buyers can show the equivalent of 20% equity in some form of security such as cash, shares or equity on home then they can obtain near total finance with a modest outlay of only 3500 euros. Prices start at 135,000 euros. Looks good so far and is something I shall be looking into some more over the coming weeks. I've always liked Portugal.

Funnily enough the new home is opposite a golf course so I might have to take up the sport as a form of market research!

We have also been approached to market a stunning 5* apart-hotel complex in the South of France, three words can only describe this; stunning, stunning, stunning and definitely something a little bit different.

The rest of the week was filled with admin (snore), meeting clients (smile) and more admin (more snore). Oh, one thing I have discovered this week is a rather exciting skin care range called NuSkin, my friend Terry gave me an example of how it works. I am not the most technically minded but I think it works with electrical currents which run into the skin and make it feel 'alive'. I was told it boosts circulation and metabolism. Sounds good to me, yes my skin certainly did look a bit less wrinkled after the trial run although unfortunately I am now sporting a rather unsightly pimple on the cheek, the side effects of toxins being released I am told.

One things for sure, being in my new home has done me wonders. I feel more settled than have done in years, I go for little jogs round the green in the morning and am thoroughly enjoying the peace and tranquility. Home is certainly where the heart is. I can't help but think how lucky I am that homes across the world are also my livelihood!
