Though coming off benefit ultimately means losing money, I thought I'd record my experiences of doing so.
I don't know how long I will be off benefit, self employment seems temporary at the moment, despite doing it for more than a year. I've got a payment from Fiverr writing job this week (on a niche topic) and may start a blog for another freelance site (which will remain nameless) and I had a Great Content payout last week and have nearly got enough for a Slicethepie handout. No gardening jobs at the moment.
Determined not to do another time wasting course, despite some protests.

It's hard to find work this time of year, I had some proofreading tasks last week and I did some Greatcontent work this week. I've got some money for Christmas, but feel I have been bailed out. Return to JSA in the new year?Advent Challenge: Money made: £0. Days to Christmas: 59.0

May finally have something a little more permanent. It's all very tentative at the moment.Advent Challenge: Money made: £0. Days to Christmas: 59.0

It's given me tonnes of work over the years but now it's time to say goodbye. Hopefully I'll make more money with other jobs.Advent Challenge: Money made: £0. Days to Christmas: 59.0
