Pressure

pressure pressure...money running out and I should be dj'ing to earn some..but I am so tired there is no way of that happening just now...priorities...the big fecking tree at the back that needs pruned...then pay the solicitor to take on the flat...down to Edinburgh to check the flat...back up for an Easter programme...which I need to arrange..flat out...money out...no more rent from Edinburgh so need to cover that...big bills coming up in May and June which means the sale is key..in fact...the sale is key to everything...clears the overdraft and allows me to save for the upcoming bills....removes the liability..reduces ther amount of work entailed in managing properties....allows me to upgrade here...focus on dj'ing...or...god forbid...have some time off and chill. We shall see. Done and done.

Demon Days

Well...calming down again....as the bride to be did not want to take me on at the price I gave...more so because it was higher than the original one Paul said he could do...Paul said he never knew the amount of time of working...the bride to be says he did..so..caught in the middle...I told her I understood...but I was not prepared to work a a minimum of 8 hours for £160...no...no..no! So..pressure is off and back on track the way I wanted...to enjoy the process of music and learning....even though the money is not coming in....but it was never about the money...my interest and my health.....went up to Blackburn at the weekend with Andy and checked out some sub woofer things....300 W each...which..when joined with my Mackies as 200W each...makes a total of 1,000W of power!!...we went and tried them out on their won and then with the Mackies...oooffftttt!!!!...not even turned up and the noise was clean and immense!!...done and done...kaching. Handed back two expensive flight case boxes to Paul....I was never going to use them and they were taking up room...and he gave me a proper studio mic and mic holder (like a desk lamp) which is what I need as holding the mic and running decks seemed a bit strange to me. So things are moving on in terms of music. My tenant has handed in her notice (as we had agreed) so she will be out in April. A quick visit to clean and move keys to the solicitors and it will be on the market. I need at least £30K profit to make it worthwhile so here is hoping. The main thing is that she kept her word and handed her notice in...if she had not I would have had to issue a Notice to Quit..costing £200 and meant she would not be out until the end April..so...good. Trying to have water damage painted over prior to the end of the tenancy...so..scary..but exciting and I look forward to leaving that proeprty behind and moving on..in more ways than one. My tenant in Perth is moving as well...not the best...but I thought he would as he was on his first placement as a qualified doctor in Perth ARI..he would move on after...this will cost but..hey ho...do I need a visit to make sure the place is clean?...I think I will if I can...as a result of the last time where I had to do it all myself..hey ho...maybe I can do it on the way to Edinburgh. At least I will have 3 months rent in my pocket as well...and then I can pay my council tax for the year. End of May the extortionate health club fees will stop as well. Granite to move as well. Health wise...I am trying to look after myself better. Eating better...ahem....more often than not...I am getting to bed early when I can..and indeed...need to...snoozing after work is essential I have come to realise...M.E and CFS.....I can do this job ONLY if I can do this. My muscles ache and I am tired...I need that down time in addition to a full nights sleep...I realise this has an impact on any potential relationships..and already has....and it means I cannot make it to a gym after work..but I am in controlof my health..mental and physical...and it makes me at peace. Having paid a huge bill for a years energy due to NPower messing about and myself being the one pushing for it....I hope that is the final unexpected outgoings and now start to chip away at the overdraft...sell the flat...pay it off...put some aside for the Capital Gains Tax..and get back on the even keel I had last June...let us see. Lots to do and see...me and you..you and me...well..just me really. Done and done.
