Have had a really really crap year. Been off work, all our savings are basically gone and we were getting pretty pissed off about being broke all the time. Anyway, SWMBO's father called her yesterday to say he needed to see her and she went up last night. He's an elderly farmer who owns quite a bit of land and he's decided that he's not fit for the farming anymore. He built a new 4 bed bungalow 4-5 yrs ago and he's offered it to the wife for £30k, said it would be free but he needs the money to build himself another little cottage on the land and clear whats left of his original mortgage. Was gobsmacked to say the least but then she told me that there are 6 huge windmills being built on the land which he will receive £18k per yr for each of them and after a year he will be dividing them between the three children so she'll be getting the rent from 2 of them from then onwards. I think light at the end of the tunnel is definitely an understatement but its funny how things work out eh?
