Thank you all for the support you have given me during 2017 :A
You will never know how much I appreciated it.
There were many things in 2017 that did not go well. There are many things in 2017 I could have done better. If you ever read this diary you probably know some of those things. I am not going to focus on them. Instead I am going to finish 2017 focusing on what I did well so I can take the positivity into 2018.
MONEY AND INVESTING
Tackling debt
Paid off £13,000 of debt :T:T:T
Achieved mortgage free status :T:T:T
Increasing income
Started my own private teaching group
Taught a successful summer class for 8 weeks (used money for debt)
Taught a successful short course (used money for debt)
Did a private gig and paid the money to debt
Received royalties and paid those to debt
Investing in me
Attended a residential masterclass in my creative field at Oxford University
Gained an agreement that I could work a 4 day week in 2018
Decreased my BMI
Joined a gym and started exercising again
Improved my iron levels
Got a new GP (after years of moaning about the old one) and she is fabulous
Investing in my home
Gutters cleared
Squirrels vacated my loft
Foxes banished from my garden (alive and dead)
Front door canopy stripped, repaired and painted
Giving
Served at 2 charity dinners
Gave private donations for charity
In 2017 I did okay. More than okay. In 2018 new options will open up for me so I plan to do better.
Bring it on

If that is your definition of okay then I would hate to see outstanding! You have cleared the mortgage, shifted a raft of debt, invested in yourself,helped to develop others and along the way had a good time
