    Well done Steph glad it went well for you I was nervous just reading your post, I am sure it will get easier the more you do - I teach children to swim and was terrified to start with but once you get into a routine its amazing how you do it without even thinking although I end up with no voice but hubby thinks that is a perk :)

    Thanks guys. What on earth would I do without your support ???


    Had a majorly hectic day today, both children have had a friend round each and its been a situation of everytime I sit down, someone calls me and I jump up again...phew.


    Dd's friend has gone home, but Ds's friend is still here for a sleep over. I'm exhausted.


    Had an absolutely brilliant text massage just now and had to come an let you all know.


    The manager of the Spa sent me a text asking if I wanted 2 Indian Head Massage sessions on Monday :eek::T:j.


    Had a little panic as they are 1030am & 1130am, but the amazing friend that loaned me the money said she will happily have the children while I go do the treatments. I told her that I will earn £40, of which I will give straight to her to start paying off the loan of the course money.


    Will see no money from it, but it feels brilliant to start earning some REAL money :D




    Lets hope its the start of many to come :)
  • Superb steph, won't be long and the money will come to you. Well done they must of thought you were great!

    Morning all,


    A quieter day today I hope.


    Got Ds's friend here for a while after his sleepover.


    Here are my jobs for the day:-


    Get going with one of my Cushion orders (Buffy if you ordered from Etsy then its yours I am working on ;) (& Thank you xx)


    Tidy around the house


    Keep washing machine going.


    Have a think about what I am going to feed my Friend and her children tomorrow who are coming over for lunch and a play.


    Also going to meet my cousin tomorrow morning for a coffee with the children, I really can't afford it but I haven't seen her for well over 25 years!!!. She lives in Staffordshire somewhere but her new husband has relatives near to me and they are visiting them this week. Its an opportunity I can't pass up on.


    So going to be a busy day tomorrow. Hopefully I can get some work done today as tomorrow will be a wash out.


    I keep thinking, can I call myself a Therapist now. hehehe I'm so silly.
