Plan B...
So, thinking today about what the hell I'm going to do as Plan B if I don't get an offer to go to uni...
And I'm thinking a decent property investment.
I know that right now with my current savings, the first home owners' grant (thanking Mr. Rudd, natch) I could buy a property - a terrace or decent workman's cottage - in the location I want and put some tenants in it, and cleverly use their rent to start paying off the mortgage for a couple of years...
I know that the market is decent right now, and especially advantageous for first home owners, but the downside is I'd be at home for a while longer and have absolutely no money left in my savings. Though having said that, I could find a better job and save shitloads in a short time. Not bad as a long term plan...
And travel fits in as an alternate Plan B, too...
But I'm reasonably confident that I'll get an offer and that my Plan A will come together nicely.
As for today, though, I took myself and the dog for a walk today, just a simple 45 minutes to get myself back into the routine of healthy(ish) activity, and then I made a bold attempt at making Mozzarella In Carrozzo (fancy toasted cheese sandwiches, really) and it was an epic fail. And now I smell like eggs....The first time a Nigella recipe died in the arse. I forgive her, though...She's a paragon, not a God.
