    I think I'm just lucky with the photography job!! Going to be late nights and having to give up my weekends mind!!

    Just back from Isle of Wight Fest, earnt £170 and had the most amazing weekend, couldn't explain how much fun it was, great weather, music and people!! Have just signed up for another events site where I'm hoping for some more work, if anyone is interested in doing this sort of work I can send you over the websites - it's hard work but so much fun :):D

    Ok so having a think - that £170 has put my account back into credit enough to just get me through to next pay day. This means I won't be going over my overdraft into my reserve again and so no more fees (again!!! Why was I so silly!?) This means I have £400 I need to somehow make to cover this PDL that I've taken out, I think I can do some more festival work and some ebaying but that figure seems impossible!! Need to get back onto Lightspeed and into the attitude that every penny counts.....

    Have put myself forward to work V Fest in August so should be another £170ish, also going to try for one in July, though it will mean missing a friends wedding... to be honest I haven't seen the friend for over two years and they haven't been in touch except with the invite so I think the money is more important!! Hopefully if I'm super careful this will put me back on track for the end of August, whilst still paying my parents the £330 a month....

    see it's a plan which is coming together, we told you that you have changed, i'm sure a while ago this would have knocked you for six but now you know what to do to try and get through it all.

    Anyhow off to update my signature as paid my parents £330 towards the debt... still needing to make money this month quite urgently... i have £400 in the bank to pay bill etc!? The pay day cheques are going to have to be postponed as well :( But should I find some money I can hopefully sort them out the month later!

    Such a shame if it wasn't for my silliness I'd be nearer £3K then £4K by now :(

    I'm still here! Busy working and painting - but read whenever I can.

    Although you would be closer to 3k than 4k, if you hadn't started in the first place just think what you might be at instead!!!

    You are doing really well and you will get there - no-one said it was going to be quick or easy (unfortunately!!)

    Keep up the good work, Nats :T

    Hi honey, just thought I'd pop by and see how you are doing!

    All's really good with me... I've just updated my diary so won't repeat it all here again!

    Keep up the BRILLIANT work honey!!!
