SF's road to mortgage freedom!

slowlyfading

DS slept a bit better again so I'm feeling slightly more human currently watching The Bourne Ultimatum whilst reading up on blog stuff and ideas. I've implemented G0ogle @dsense and have signed up for @mazon affiliates, so we'll see how those go. The only way I earn from them is if people click on the ads, or buy something from @mazon after clicking on one of my links, so I'm not holding out much hope :rotfl: still, I've got to start somewhere.

I listed 14 items on the bay of e on Sunday and one of them has a bid on already, which I'm pleased about. It's only 99p but it's better than nothing and something else that will be leaving our house. The only slight problem is that the bidder has 0 feedback as they only joined yesterday?

Another NSD in the SF household; we're having chicken fajitas for tea followed by HM lemon drizzle cake and strawberries. Nice and simple.

Happy Tuesday everyone

Thank you! I suddenly feel like I can do something and as my income is going to decrease rapidly, earning some extra pennies seems to be top of the list

Oh, that reminds me - need to look at registering to be self employed.

So, do you have to link to products in your posts to use the Amazon affiliate links? If so, happy to pretend route the odd purchase through your links, it's you or some other affiliate who I don't like

Don't rush yourself hun and be careful becoming self employed when your maternity leave has already started, I think you have to have done it before or it may affect your pay. Worth checking.

So glad you're home and things are starting to settle. Have a read of "the fourth trimester" - it's some great advice about early days with baby xx

I have had a read and I think, if I've understood correctly, it doesn't affect SMP, but would if I was getting MA from the government? Think that's right.

I have also had a read of that, thanks for the suggestion
