It would be easy because they are always advertising for staff and offering increased hours.doingitanyway wrote: »As someone who has explored the 4 day scenario for the last 100 years and bored everyone in the process. I think you should go for it.
:rotfl: I currently do four days but used to do three in my previous job and i think it was ideal as well as giving me time to do other paid work.
I would need to do some serious figures before I jump.1 debt v's 100 days chapter 34: T3sco bank CC £250/£525.24 47.59%

Oh, I see. You are already working 4 days a week... Ultimately I am aiming for 3 days a week too but not until this house is sorted out.
Do the sums Parsniphead. See if you can make it a reality. This isn't a dress rehearsalIf you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

Another job delivered today and a few more pounds made.:D Another job picked up so more pennies due. I will also be delivering another one when I pick DS up from school so more pennies will be picked up.:j Not a bad day off.:D
Another shock though at the state of their house. It was immaculate, not a thing out of place. Too tidy for me but it has spurred me on to start on mine again. I have made another dent since I returned.:D Lots more to go though.
I will be breaking up on Friday for a week then once I return I only have three weeks before finishing for the summer. I really need to get a lot of this stuff done before then so I can use my time wisely once I'm off. I have three weeks alone before DS breaks up.
Not much time and lots to do. It's focussed the mind.1 debt v's 100 days chapter 34: T3sco bank CC £250/£525.24 47.59%

You are doing great with the private work.
I like that you get to spy on so many other peoples homes. A perk of the job surely?
You are sounding very focused at the moment. Long may it continueIf you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

A day of decluttering and finally the top of my wardrobe and the stairs are clear at the same time. :j My god, the dust on top of the wardrobe. Shocker. :eek:
I'm off this week and I need to get some quotes for the bay roof as it was really coming in last night when it was pouring down.
Its definitely going to be a week of clearing, cleaning and sorting the garden. Hopefully by the end of the week I will see a difference.1 debt v's 100 days chapter 34: T3sco bank CC £250/£525.24 47.59%

What a noisy night and still it rumbles on. I like a good thunder storm but this is ridiculous. :rotfl:
It was so nice to look up from bed this morning and see a nice, clear wardrobe top.:D, and coming down the stairs was a treat.
I also started sorting through DS's bedroom last night and as the weather is not up to gardening today I will carry on later.
Blimey that was a huge bang. I nearly shot out of my slippers.:rotfl:
Anyway, the decluttering goes on. I'm at the point where I he easy stuff is done and every decision is a difficult one. Its made me determined to never get to this point again.
Yesterday I got a bargain. We have a charity warehouse open on saturdays only. I got two meters of gorgeous fabric for £2 and a pair of long curtains for a fiver. I'm planning to make some roman blinds for the bathroom with either one or another. I just need to make my mind up which one you're. I will definitely be visiting again.
Anyway I must get on. I have to pop to the shops in a while then a day at home cosied up.
Have a good day and keep dry.1 debt v's 100 days chapter 34: T3sco bank CC £250/£525.24 47.59%

Yes, there were some great bangs in the night but that one was huge. The storms and the rain have finally stopped. It's now sunny and very warm.
I have decided if it stays nice to go and get more veg plants. The stuff I have in is doing fab.1 debt v's 100 days chapter 34: T3sco bank CC £250/£525.24 47.59%
