So, all in all a productive day, but I'm feeling tetchy, antsy, like I want to trade my "success" for fun or something which long term makes my soul go yehhhhhhhh!!!!!

So here are the results!

1 - I streamlined all my financial info into one file (or maybe I did that before my last post??)

2 - I successfully signed on today = £80 to pay back dad with

3 - I got a job through til Fri and popped into the agency (which I think was instrumental). At least £250 into my account after tax and all ..

4 - Will have £40 to give pa and have purchased H's present (all thanks to moneys coming in)

5 - I finished Martin Lewis' book and did some research about where to find 0% credit cards. Next step is to write a criteria list and start ticking off.

6 - Ah - got a tutoring gig for Thurs nite = £19.90. Will pay for H's bday meal

7 - Have two CP hosts. Both want small parties which puts a ceiling on what I can earn. £360 max at party one and £150 max after profit share at party two = a little over £500. If I find a host, would do a CP iii before Xmas, for sure!! Let's see what santa's helpers bring my way ...

8 - Thoughts to self ... just cos I'm earning doesn't mean I need to be a spend-muffin. Keep to Martin Lewis' advice of having a small amount in my wallet!!!

9 - Just cos I'm in Ilford and bored doesn't mean I have to becoem a doing-junkie .. balance life with fun stuff, yoga mindful body stuff and get excited about my planning the next step sessions. I sense the challenge of finding the work is over, so I want the lolly without having to put myself throught hte paces!

10 - I know long term that this is not what my life plan is, so I'll gently remember that, without unduly pressurising myself.

11 - I can be very proud as I'm about to earn the most this week I have all millenia!!! 150 about to be in the bank for CP (and going into my 4 per cent acct!) - 280 or so (without tax deductions) for temping - 80 signing on backlog - 20 tutoring = 530.

12 - Can take calculator to temp job to figure out what's going on with loans in my dull moments and book to scribble down life thoughts in.

13 - Know that temping with 9-5 hours and a 30 min or less commute (pref by foot) is my short term aim, with various self-employed bits going on around it.

14 - the book proposal is almost finished!! This could be a whole other profit source - advance, royalties etc.

In short, be proud !!!!! Know that my talents can translate into handsome earnings and that the lack of earnign before was because my situation was all wrong.
