    Phew! I'm tired just reading that :)

    Hope everyone is feeling much better today and that you got some sleep last night.

    The business is really taking off, what is it that you're doing?

    Thank you everyone is now well. Horray!

    I am running a hire business essentially. It is taking off its true. Thanks for all your encouragement:)

    Today was lovely and leisurely. Lots of nice chilled time this morning. Visited the library with DD for stories.

    Had a late party enquiry which is great as I thought October was done. Looks like another week long event for November too.

    We had a relaxing evening with a movie on Netflix & that's it for today.

    Morning All

    Another clear day in the diary. I won't know myself. The guys left at 7.30 & I am currently lolling in bed with DD. We usually start the day looking at books. DD loves stories.

    I feel some more planning is needed to keep myself on track for these last almost 3 months remaining of 2016. I acknowledge 2017 but want to wring every drop from this year too.

    More as I think of it :)

    Bob

    Such a good day. A party confirmed and the deposit is coming and a pencilled in booking also sending theirs. Excitingly had a very cool enquiry about use for a photographic gallery pop up. And my ad on Gumtree which has been on since July with no interest suddenly resulted in an enquiry.

    Have spent the day feeling so happy and excited. Its amazing that I can earn money at the same time as spending all day with my daughter and doing the pick up for my son every day. I may not be earning a fortune yet but I feel very lucky to be where I am right now.

    I also managed to chip my debt under the £1k mark with a £26 payment. I am curious to know how close I can get it to £0 by Christmas. Bob's mini challenge starts here!!

    Bob I'm so pleased that things seem to be coming together for you with the business! It must be lovely knowing that you can spend the time with your children whilst knowing you are still earning.

    HUGE congrats on getting under £1000 too - fantastic news :)
    Let’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 😭
  • Bob - I'm so pleased that you're all well again and that things are going so very well at the moment. Your happiness is quite infectious...
    And brilliant to see that debt into 3 figures now.
  • Bob so thrilled to see you in 3 figures :T:j:T:j

    And hoorah to all the enquiries - may they soon become bookings with cash paid :D
  • Bob that's excellent and you're in the triple zone now :)

    I'm sure you'll be able to smash your debt by Christmas or at least come very darn close. Well done xx

    Thank you all. The best thing about you lot is you are lovely when things are pants and even lovelier when they are good.
