DreamerHelen's New Diary - "Ad Astra per Aspera"

Sounds like a realistic goal, And anything extra you can do is a bonus (overtime ! ) . So, 50 hours is only 7 hours a day, so a full time job basically.

Youve had a full time job before, so you know this is viable, especially now that the college will be winding down for summer.

Glad youve had a LBM .. Let the debt busting commence !! :j:j

Helen, think that is a really good achievable goal - 50hours per week (seven hours a day). Maybe if you so more some days then you can even have one full day a week off (and not have to think about the phones at all..). Enjoy lunch. Will PM the mystery shopping sites to you in a minute (busy night last night!).

Just read my post. Meant to say if you can do extra hours on some days then you can maybe take the occasional full day off and get out of the flat to go to a gallery (free of course) or something else that you consider a free treat.

That's what you get for speed typing and not re-reading your posts...

^ agree, make the most of the wonderful free things in London (other than Oyster card cost!), you definitely need to rejuvenate yourself outside of work/college otherwise they both suffer, do realise it's a tough balancing act though.

Afternoon young Helen , Quick lunch break here, I hate working inside job on sunny days ! Doing some stock ordering today, to refill my shelves after the big stocktake next week, Love spending the companies money instead of my own !

How are the hours stacking up ? Hopefully you will be well on the way to your weeks target , I think you said your weeks end on a Sunday ?

Its been a good week money wise for me ... in a roundabout way ! Sold a couple more things on FB marketplace, got a £20 off electrical spend voucher in Mr T, and I will have to buy a new TV soon, so that will help ... shame it expires before payday, so the old CC will have to help me out for four days !
So between that and my clubcard vouchers, I will get about £40 off the telly ! (and it wont be a dear one in the first place ! )

Catch up soon, I expect youre asleep .... so Im whispering ! lol :rotfl:

Friday night at last ! Paid employment over till Monday, unpaid housework coming up !
Just chopped up rhubarb and covered with sugar to get a head start on the orange and rhubarb marmalade tomorrow. Was going to do ironing in front of stobrts trucks and trailers, but the phones never stopped ringing !
Hope your weeks going well, catch up soon, as hubby is dragging me and the dog off to the beach " because its midsummer " ! No way am i going in that bliddy water !

Hugs for now !

How are things going? Have you finished your course for the Summer yet?

Hi Everyone....

I'm so sorry that I haven't Posted....I haven't been ignoring you...but I've been dreadfully unwell....

I still managed to Work a little so I've made "enough" but not what I had hoped for....But I guess that's why I need a "safety fund" as well as earning for each Week....just in case I'm sick...After all, I don't get Sick Pay or Holiday Pay...

I'm feeling better today....and have started the Week with a-gusto....So I'm feeling positive....

I finished at College last Week so this Week I can now Work on Tuesday instead of being at College....

Also this Week I have put in some planned breaks....just for a few hours here and there so I have something to look forward to during the Week....if that makes sense....

I'm struggling emotionally right now....there is lots of stuff going round and round in my head and my head is a little bit all over the place....but I'm not going to let it stop me doing what I need to do for the Week....

Anyway...that's what is going on with me....

Thanks for keeping up with my Diary and encouraging me to Post...xXx
