Things just got interesting.  I had an estate agent come over this weekend, and they valued my property at £475k. This makes a big difference because it means the equity I'll have from selling, will definitely get me a nice place in the Sun.

Moving to Mallorca is now my number one option.

Initially, my parents were not happy with this. Worrying as usual, and only seeing the negatives. But I think, I've managed to get them to see the benefits of what I'm trying to do:

I've been to Mallorca a number of times, and I love the place. I know a few good tennis resorts, and my friends could come visit whenever they want. The thought of not having a mortgage or rent commitments is so appealing, I genuinely think this could be what brings the old "happy" Ben back to life.ive

Well, the first step is to sell my house, so it's going on the market this week. (Sad I know, but needs must etc...)

I think I'll need a few months to get my bearings out there and find a nice place, so I'll probably rent a place or a room over here for a few months, and Simon has kindly said I can set up my office at GGS head quarters so I can still work.

Doing this will mean that I'm in a great position to build up my business from out there without the stress of money. Once the business is growing (which it will), then hopefully I can save up enough to buy back over here, and keep my Mallorca place as a holiday home.

I'm actually feeling happier already just thinking about doing this. For seven years I've plodding along, struggling, without much changing. Obviously there's been some great highs in the past few years, but the underlying issue of money has always brought me down.

Maybe now is the time to do this !!!  In the great words of Billy Joel....
