I hope I don't have any hypos as it's going to be hot, hot, hot. I am v excited though. I have to plan the tour tomorrow morning. Please let it go well. I do love London and I can do this tour without it costing me any money.

15km later I return home. We ended up with two parties of students and a great time was had by all. I loved it. I wish I could do this full time but the money would not be enough to live off.

I am working next week and then will have to start some work work at home in my spare time. I am a v happy bunny though.

It feels great. I get to see some of the south of England's most wonderful sights and walk in this lovely weather for free. I will have to stop soon as I am not getting any work done. I have 3 courses to write and research still.

Today my laptop is having Windows added and my friend is taking it home to add an SSD as it will make it quicker. This will cost about an extra £70 including fitting it and adding windows to it.

So far this month I have purchased:
£16.99 sliders
£7 blouse
£8.50 jacket
£30 on clothes for my brother to say thanks for helping paint house
£22.00 perfume
£53 on SSD card for new computer
and I am a bit worried about paying it off. All my rent money goes towards the mortgage and I have £250 savings too every month. I am giving £1000 of my this to my niece for university. It is a constant struggle on my rubbish £22k salary.

Some good news, my new contract came today. I will be earning an extra £100 at work whilst it is less than the year before last it is still something. Hopefully I will be less likely to be sick if I can rest more and lodger's money is helping trememdously. Kerrching.

Today I walked 25000 steps. This is 18km. To keep my blood sugars stable I had to eat 3 packs of sweets. I don't know if I am losing any weight but my sugars are fine. lol.

I have seen my wage slip so far and I will be paid nearly £300 for extra work on this side hustle. I will get this week's money next month too so that will be a bit extra. I have a tour tomorrow and on Thursday. I might be working on the weekend and then I quit. Dead happy it is so wonderful to see all these lovely things in the South of England.

So pleased for you - that you're earning lovely money and that you're enjoying the tours. That's a blooming long way to walk in a day, wow! Especially with this heat.....!!

I am so chuffed with myself it is helping me to earn and to keep fit too. Tomorrrow I only have a one hour class so I am meeting my friend and going for a long walk before hand.

Today I visited Southsea Castle with the students. It was fun I enjoyed the walk. The weather was v warm again 27/26 I think. I hope it tones me up but I haven't lost any weight despite all this walking.

On Saturday I am visiting Bath with a group. I haven't been for a long time and am looking forward to it.

Right all is well. I only taught for an hour today and met a friend for lunch she paid - so nice. I paid IT friend £40 for all of his hard work as he is still sorting out the new computer so it can do all the stuff I need for my job. I hope it is sorted v soon and I can use the laptop in the garden.

I am going on a short trip tomorrow. From 1-4pm.
