    Sorry to her about the big C.

    If I didn't need the comparatively good income accounting gives, I'ld be a tour guide and spend a lot more time doing yoga, maybe to tutor level. I can easily loose 90 minutes on a yoga mat as it is...

      Different strokes. If you don't have a good room to kit out as a proper office this is preferable. If you find your home is too distracting. If you have kids. etc... or simply the feeling of being "at work" might make you more motivated.

        Home office doubles as my musical launch pad so after about 30 minutes of work I am on the roland 12kv kit thinking I am Neal Peart ( but with style! ) On the other side of the desk is a piano where I can sound like a 2 year old Chinese keyboard prodigy.

        No works get done really.

              I would spend a lot of time on a nice big yacht. I've always fancied a circumnavigation.

              I'd probably get my Dive instructor's ticket and bum around teaching the middle classes how nice it is to breath underwater.

                Similar but I'd do research marine biology rather than being a teabag for brats.

                  Sounds like a ball-ache. Just in the middle of a 6 month renovation at the minute. Despite having top notch builders it's been dragging. The problems I had with the council and neighbours has been doing my head in. All I've wanted to do is open up the downstairs by putting some steels in. Cost £3k just on the party wall surveyor.

                    I have done a few properties, and after each one, I state I'll never do it again. No matter how good the builders are, you will have a disagreement, and I have never known one that has ended amicably, so you spend the last X weeks of the project barely on speaking terms. An example would be laying oak floors. They wish to put them North South, you want East West, you go away, and they've done it north south, so you have to get them to take it up, buy some new ones, and put it how you wanted. Surveyors are robbing bastards. We had one who drew up plans for some townhouses. My wife and I backed off, as it was going to cost a serious amount of money to build, and I'd have had to take a year out to PM it, and the surveyor chips in saying he'd PM it for £140k.

                    Nah, lots of money to be made, if you do the right one, but it's just aggro. The last house we did, we purchased for £215k, spent 45k and It's going on the market for £325k next May, that after £48k in rent over the past few years.

                    Of course, I am doing it all next year...

                      Probably a doctorate on the later Roman Empire and more research afterwards.

                      Although I'm probably on the way with nearly mortgage free and then a full time masters.
