[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 5747790, member: 2119"] All I can say is that I feel better now for avoiding taking on any more ventures that are either absurdly difficult or offer marginal profit for a lot of work and messing about. This might sound like defeatism in some ways but actually it's realism. I had thought about buying some "cheap" stores but if I do that I am due an immediate TB test as I'm in a TB1 radial and if I get a positive not only do I shut myself down but also have a bad impact on my breeder neighbours so I'll give that one a miss this year thanks very much and sell the forage for which there seems to be plenty of local demand. I have also decided not to buy a new baler and run my bank account down to "sleepless nights" level where I have to watch every penny. The existing machine will do. After a difficult year, with dad passing away after nursing him for three months, a drought and the bank closing our account and having to find a new one I am going to have a winter of pottering and tidying and getting ready for lambing time and next year generally, sticking to jobs that I enjoy and turn a reasonable profit. I am also paying less attention to the news and all the constant bickering about Brexit etc which really is soul destroying to behold. I am having the next month in "power saving mode". I'll be doing what I have to do, and catching up on some rainy day jobs but won't be taking anything new on. Best Regards All and hope you find some respite however that may be. I don't think there is a perfect solution, but for me sitting back from it all helps and not feeling guilty about taking it steady. [/QUOTE]
