    Morning Pesto hun....

    You're absolutely right....I DO need to structure a bit better...AND just force myself to work that little bit harder I think....And remember what I'm doing it for....I think I have given up too easily over the last couple of Nights....

    The Pay goes up from 8pm until 2am every night and then again from 2am until 8am...so the worst paying time is on a Weekday from 8am until 8pm....so I'm trying to minimise the time I work then and Work mainly at night...although I DO have to Work during the day as well....

    But I think I HAVE done well this Week....it feels really good to say that I can pay everything that needs paying next Week...Mum and my Debts and everything else....That feels wonderful!!

    I will try to get to £50 if I can...depends on how busy it is as when it gets to about 6pm on a Sunday it all gets very quiet...but I'll see what I can earn between now and 6pm....

    Thank You for your encouraging Words...if it weren't for you and Mara I'm not sure I would be in the Position that I am now...So a BIG Thank You...and if I could send you both bunches of Flowers then I would do!!

    So my little poppadoms ... Im back, showered, dinner underway for tonight .. huge stew, as we are taking in hay this afternoon and will have helpers to feed ! Dishes almost all washed .. one pan soaking in the sink, Will get back to that in a mo .
    Life feels like a treadmill right now, You, Helen will certainly understand that ! Get up, go to work, come home, do housework, do farm work, fall asleep .. repeat next day ! Work days are going to be long as I take the company out to the local agricultural shows, one next week and four the following week , so lots of preparation, and ealy & late ferries to catch ! What fun !
    On top of that my sis & her two daughters arrive here on Tuesday to stay for a week, Will have to do some entertaining there I think ! lol
    Bought some lovely beads off Amazon, (from a fellow MSE'ers shop) So will let the girls loose with them...Time to teach them the fun of jewellery making !
    I have thousands of loose beads & findings here !
    Will have to hide my precious beads tho, they can have all my others to play with, but I have plans for the precious ones! lol

    Ok, back to the kitchen sink ! Catch up later if Im not asleeeeeeeep ;) x
    Its just a bad day, Not a bad life .. :cool:

    I DO know what you mean Mara....it DOES seem to be all Work and no play right now....but I'll get there....just have to really Work hard and the rewards will come....

    I have my October Show to look forward to....I'm Soooooooo looking forward to that...even if I won't have a lot of money to take with me...It will just be nice to have a day off....And to spend time with a Friend that I'm going with....

    Try to relax today Mara hun....Do something for YOU....

    Work going okay so far this morning....Has been quite busy....But the Guys aren't staying for very long at the moment....But we shall see how long it takes to get that £38 and then see if I can continue past that to get that little extra...

    No me time today I doubt, just busy busy .. Why dont you just plan to work till five, Even if it means going Wayyyyyy past your £38 . .. another tenner or two will easily find a home in your budget, or just tell yourself that whatever extra you can earn over £38 will be for "that event in October " , bit of extra motivation for staying online for a couple of extra hours ? Then take it out of the bank & stash it away before it vanishes into the ether. I should get you a "fritter fund" moneybox ! lol :rotfl::rotfl:

    I agree, if you worked all of the better pay hours at the weekend and have a proper 8 hour sleep each day you could probably have a day off in the week. Why work 20 daytime hours when you can earn the same in 14'ish at a weekend

    Well I will definitely be working more Night Time hours....but I can't cut the daytime hours out altogether....not if I want to make extra for little treats, which I WOULD like to do....Plus pay all of my Bills of course, they come first before treats....

    But yes, you're right....working night time hours IS better...much much better....
