Parsnip I love my Karc3r steam cleaner. There are attachments and yes windows can be cleaned too. I haven’t cleaned windows but I have done my sofa, floors, rugs and hard area surfaces like parts of the cooker etc. I am very pleased with it. Today, I am going to steam clean my hallway and top landing stairs carpet. I originally was going for the more basic model but there was £30 off and the reviews pointed to this S2 model.

Whatever you decide, happy cleaning

Thank you, I think.

I really want a good steamer but trying to save for one.

What I did not buy, eat or drink this Christmas:

Mince pies
Christmas Cake
Wine
Brandy
Crisps
Nuts
Pigs in blankets

When I eat lots of sugar I can’t stop, so it figures not to start. However I cannot live without sweet treats of some kind. Dramatic, but true...

Today I bought some Naked bars and a bar of dark chocolate (both low sugar). Dark chocolate I can’t binge on. Naked only contain natural ingredients and I have not felt the need to binge on them. They were reduced from 75p each to 20p each and I have several. They are good to throw in my bag when I leave the house. Coffee out is a treat but generally the treat with the coffee is too sweet and too expensive!

I bought some organic veggies today and made soup. I had the soup with a soft organic sheep’s cheese YS to 80p

My weight is going down and it is so encouraging I don’t wish to spoil it

This year is nearly over...roll on 2017

I am searching for new income streams for 2017 so I can meet my goals. I will need a second job in 2017. I have been looking at early morning online grocery shopping but nothing has come up in my area. I’ve had time to think and getting up at 3am a few days a week to start at 4am may be optimistic thinking given how tired I am with my low iron levels

The creative venture I pitched for in the Autumn came to nothing

but that is probably a good thing too as I planned to work for nothing to build my rep but I can ill afford that option right now.

New options to earn more:

A new pitch for a role as an evening tutor at a college I have worked with before. They pay well and are asking for proposals.

I have been invited to do some creative work in a few weeks time. This pay will go towards something on the house, not sure what yet (but this extra money is not going towards further debt repayment) . If I can impress maybe they will invite me back for some more work and if so, I will use that money to speed up debt repayment.

A job I’ve seen advertised in my F/T work field (for another organisation) The hours are ad hoc, but that suits me.

Selling stuff. :eek: I have not really done this but will start listing 2 items a week. I WILL

Anyone else thinking of additional ways to increase their income in 2017?
