Fun-packed turbo-charged laugh-a-minute goals time again.
Here's last week's blink-and-you'll-miss-it thread.
Last week, I wanted to stick some stuff on Amazon -- done,
crack on with freelance work -- done and fixed up some more shifts,
and spend less thsn £120 -- £101.19. Hurrah.
So all in all a good week. Except that I've just lost my job. Daunting but at the same time incredibly liberating.
Next week looks thus:
Fix up more freelance shifts/interviews etc.
Look into tax situation for self-employed, consider signing on in the meantime
Have a nice cheap week (less than £100).
Enjoy the free time...
