So the DIY adventure continued, I gave the bath side a new lease of life. What do you think?
It’s annoying I don’t have a before picture, but I’ve learnt that 🙂

Week 14 –June 1st 2020 – Week 11 of lockdown
Going into the unknown this week.
Had a Zoom meeting with Nikki going over how my pension would be handled by Brewin Dolphin and AJ Bell for my SIPP.
It was now or never with trusting Nikki and not seeing him on that Jet Ski!!

Week 15 –June 8th 2020 – Week 12 of lockdown
People that know me, know cricket is a big part of my life, when I was 10, myself and a group of friends, from April right through to October, virtually every weekend day and school holidays, we would go off to this piece of land and play cricket. We would take food and drink and just play.
I even had a trial for Kent, but only public school children were taken on.
I played adult cricket from 13 and have met some lovely people over the years, the Chelsfield Exiles Saturday was a blast, on the field and off, thankfully Claire understood what cricket meant to me and the Saturday team welcomed her.
I have been captain and chairman of the club.
In my later life, I have played league cricket for New Ash Green and even won a medal for winning a league, I just wished the players would believe in themselves in the second team, there are some quality players that would easily walk into other teams!!.
Obviously COVID19 had stopped cricket, but as you see from the ECB roadmap, they wanted people playing, with my depression lifted, I wanted to play again, so made myself available again for New Ash Green.

Week 14 –June 1st 2020 – Week 11 of lockdown
We’re not the greatest gardeners in the world, until this year I pity any new plant coming to our home, as It was like signing them to an early death sentence!
This year though, the lockdown has had amazing effect on Claire and looking after the plants in the garden, nothing has died!!!
This is the left hand side of the garden, which had been completely overhauled by MJ Limited.

So the DIY project starts, now you have to remember, prior to 2020 as mentioned before, my DIY skills was breaking up stuff or passing a screw driver to my father in law and sometimes I got that wrong!

Week 12 – May 18th 2020 – Week 9 of lockdown
My dad was able to go for a check-up regarding his myeloma cancer, and I’m sure due to COVID19 and not having appointments, it had resurfaced.
He had two blood transfusions this week, which thankfully sorted this out and would need a daily injection to see if it could improve further.

Week 10 – May 4th 2020 – Week 7 of lockdown
This was a tough week for me, had I made the right decision regarding Nikki?
I was moving my three private pensions into one.
I couldn’t have done anymore background checks on Nikki or his company then I had.
Trust is a MAJOR thing for me, you so have to earn it, even more so when you’re talking about MONEY and mine and Claire FUTURE!!
