Morning All
Started the day with some pretty bad news. My biggest chunk of work each month is going elsewhere in a month's time. This is unfortunately completely unavoidable, and not based on anything bad on either side, simply the best decision for the client.
I have one more month of probably enough to get by and then need to find around 3 new events to cover that cost every month from then.
I do feel a bit fed up. Just as I was about to go away for a few days. And just as I had made that saving on my account.
Some how makes you feel it's never enough. There will always be something.
But. Whilst I feel pretty worried. I also feel that bad things can often lead to good. There might be the best opportunity ever just around the corner and if this didn't happen then it I couldn't fit that in. Or something.
Right coffee. Then we get on with life.

Fingers crossed that a huge opportunity comes up for those dates/times Bob, plus you've still got the potential good social media client so that could reap huge rewardsLet’s just pretend I have not been alternately drowning in debt or only eating toast to try and pay it off for the last 20 years 😭0

Sorry to hear that Bob, good for you on the attitude you're taking though. As my mum always likes to tell me "What's for you, won't go by you".
Enjoy your break.Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Car loan 1 £10,546, Car loan CC 0% BT £5200. Debt Free Diary to try & keep spending in check.0 -
Sorry to hear about that client Bob but hopefully there will be other opportunities just around the corner! And with your business account, a win is a win! You could be in the same situation with the client and still be paying through the nose for the account.
Enjoy your time away - maybe the break will give you the chance to get some inspiration on other opportunities?0 -

Thank you Georgina that is so wise. A negative doesn't cancel out a positive does it. Why do our brains work that way? Appreciate the boost." Your vibe attracts your tribe":D

Oh what a pain Bob, I know well that feeling of losing a chunk of income that you had begin to rely on as a regular stream. I really hope something crops up and you don't have to manage without it for long.Trying to figure out a whole new life. Trying to figure out a whole new budget.
Divorcing, unclear on final debt total right now, but focusing on building a financial buffer zone.0 -
