How is the tutoring going?

pavlovs_dog

lovely to see you back courgette :wave:

Courgette

Really well, thank you Smallholdingsister. It's great to have a job I enjoy, uses the education I worked very hard for, pays well and fits around my family.

I've not been around much as I've been busy trying to work out ways I can earn even more from it. I do hardly any advertising (I have a website but I update it about once a year, quite literally) and that's about it. Having had a nosey at SlowlyFading's blog and following the links to the earnings some bloggers make I'm wondering whether I should start a blog of my own. I'm not remotely expecting that I'd make the mega money some bloggers do but before reading SF's update I'd completely discounted it as a way of making any money.

I've got what I think is quite a good angle on my idea, I'm just in the process of working out how exactly I do the technical side of it and also whether I really really do want to do it, ie am I prepared to make the time commitment.

Money-wise everything is steady. No major news, good or bad. Still waiting for biopsy results. Dr Google suggests no news is good news with these things and it's been over 2 weeks now. They said 4-6 weeks but I reckon it'll be longer with Cmas. I do think I would have heard by now though if there was anything amiss

Not sure courgette. I hope its all ok...4 weeks does sound a long time to wait.

Thinking of you x

Courgette

Thanks Earthy,

I'm sure it'll be fine, I'll just be happier when I know for sure.

Feeling very tired at the moment so lovely DH has taken the boys out and left me at home with the internet and a box of chocolates that a very kind student gave me.

2 more days of tuition then I'll be having a nice break, looking forward to it

Enjoy the break and the chocs. Fingers crossed for you. X
