I love personal finance blogs, LOVE them, would happily read them all day. I suppose I'm interested in money, interested in planning a good life, getting good value, exploring pensions, savings, investments etc..
Most of the personal finance blogs are american, so some of the terminology products etc aren't transferable, different systems etc, however it is easy to apply the principle of thought to our own options here in Ireland. I think over the next few weeks I may explore my thoughts on it and see how my plan takes me..
I have no debt and don't intend on entering in debt unless it is a sound investment, maybe a mortgage in the future etc (if it makes sense) time will tell.
I want to understand pensions schemes better, I've just joined my company's scheme and am happy about it, but have yet to grasp the full extent of how it works..
So to exploring! :)

Productive Day
It's warm today, and it is a very welcome change after our mamoth 50 days + of rain all throughout the summer. So I'm happy it's September.
Work is busy, lots of deadlines, management have had a change of direction with how we are managing our project timelines, so it's all about calendar dates now, and me in my little one person department cannot be a bottle neck! :) I never am though, when you tend to be the only one responsible for it, you can't pass the buck....
Seems like I'll be off to Wales to do a manufacturing audit on an external contractor in the next few weeks so that's new for me. Have a bit of reading to do in prep.... Sometimes people are surprised when they meet me as I'm quite young for the position that I hold but I'll keep working on it.
Today is wednesday and work is busy.

Time Passes.....
You know, I had completely forgotten about here, to the extent that it took me 25 minutes to remember the title of the blog, racking my brains, visualising the design but just falling short of seeing the title, and the more I thought about it, the more it dangled just out of reach!
Anyway, I got here...... eventually :) I'm trying to figure out why it came to me today, to route out this old blog and write again... I'm slightly unnerved by linking the blog to my Google account as I enjoy the air of anonymity, and this is probably why I haven't visited in so long...
then it just slipped off my radar.
Life is fast paced at the moment. My lovely boy is in northern ireland Mon to Friday working, so we are making the most of our weekends together, it's really ok so far, I'm very happy that the adjustment is going well, you always hope things will be ok but sometimes reality is tougher. Needless to say, give it 3 or 4 months and it may be a different story but I can be hopeful.
A few people close to me are going through some rough times, and I'm doing my best to be there for them, it's difficult though, it's difficult not to get a little frustrated when the situation is constant, I sometimes feel there is only so many times I can say the same thing. Maybe I'll write about it again soon....
Today is tuesday and music makes me happy :)
