Time to get it sorted

Thanks Fuzzy - do you have a diary?

I've just added another 15p to my One Poll account. The Ann Summers thing is a bit like being an Avon Lady etc. I'll find you some info if you like?

I've decided that I'd like to be paid to review some things but want to get a little portfolio of reviews together and practice my writing skills. I am always nose first in a book so figured books would be the best thing to write about!

Once I've had a practice I will start seeing if I can get some freelance writing work etc.

I've started a blog but as a new user I can't post the link on here yet.

I know I keep posting and it's probably getting a little annoying but I find it quite therapeutic. Here's my list of things that I have to keep me distracted so that I don't spend any money!!

1/. My apprenticeship - I'm doing an Advanced Level Apprenticeship in Retail
2/. My Jewellery Business - I own my own little jewellery business and I'm currently working on redesigning the website. If I can be frugal with personal money I most definately can be with business money until business takes off

No, not annoying at all. Write as much or little as you want - it's your diary to use as you want.
I agree with it being therapeutic - keeping my diary has changed my world in ways I never thought possible.

It has completely changed the way I've think in relation to my personal things and my small business stuff and I only made the decision to start it yesterday. I just don't want people to think I'm overposting too much!

I'm trying to work out how I can get paid for writing reviews etc

You can never post too much IMHO. I started mine on 1 July and already there's nearly 90 pages :eek:

Don't know about writing reviews - have you tried looking/posting on the "Up your income" board? (think it's called that - will check and amend if ness).

I didn't really think about that to be honest.

I'm trying to update my website. I want my business to take off - I've been doing it for a year and it's still quite quiet which I know is the norm for new businesses. I decided while I wait for it to take off I will use a free site and redirect my domain to them for hosting - saves me £18 that can go towards something else for the business

While I wait for the business to take off I'm working full time in a supermarket

I've made jewellery in the past just for myself not to sell and have been wondering if I can do something else with it to make money once I'm living alone.
Another thing I need to think of together with everything else :eek:

I really hope the business takes off for you very soon xx

Thanks I'm gradually working on the site - hopefully it will look great when I'm done

Well goodmorning all

I worked on my site well into the night last night. It's looking good. I just have a lot more things to edit and then I can publish it.

I'm sat in the library this morning. Thought I'd make more use of it when they have an ancestry subscription rather than paying for my own. I'm going to visit my god daughter later - I can't wait!
