    My shoulders are a little pink and sore, but the tan is coming on nicely!

    I am typically English in that the first bit of sunshine I'm out in it all day with no suncream, naughty I know!

    Still no cheque from the Council for the election count, why are they so slow it was almost 3 weeks ago!

    Paid another £55 off Lloyds today from my leaflet money.

    My friends Dad was a presiding officer so his family always help with the count and my friend put my name down. I would just ring your Council Offices and ask them, I don't know how everyone else there got on it sorry.

    Money not loads, but not too bad, £142 before tax for 8 hours work, I didn't finish till 5.30 in the morning, but I didn't mind as it was quite interesting. Lots of different people from the parties watch you count and try and keep a tally on their clipboard as u go which was quite funny! It was also nice to see them announcing the results live on telly as everyone starts cheering, whilst we stood their looking bemused!

    Had a random spare penny in my bank so paid it off Lloyds, as much to irritate them as anything!

    2 days until pay day. Am owed £50 from leaflets and will earn another £150 this weekend, so should get below the £14k mark by the end of May.
