Earthgirl's Final Battle

earthgirl

You are both so kind, as is everyone here x
I'm really hoping that as I get better that I can use it as a side hustle and film when it suits me (i.e. when my kids are asleep or on my break at work if I can find a quiet spot for example) and just use those spare moments to earn cash, rather than doing extra tuition online at hours set by another company.

We will see but yet again I'm bowled over by the generosity and kindness of my friends on here x

Great video, but watch where you forage - I'm not sure about that cress stuff - it looked like it was in a prime dog weeing/council weed-killer spraying spot! :eek: (It might just have been the video though).

What bothered you about the egg swapping? Surely it's common practice to get the eggs when looking after someone else's hens?

Yes it was on my driveway - I don't have a dog but I suppose a dog could have weed on it :eek:

Because I have my own eggs I didn't like taking others even with the bartering.

Thanks for watching xx:T

I lost two days this week due to amazingly bad period pains - very sudden and odd for me. I could hardly walk or sit down, at times I was screaming but I managed to go to work with lots of pain killers and a hot water bottle. If it happens again I will go to the doctors.

By losing 2 days I mean I didn't do anything but go to work and do the basics for the kids. This morning I worked on Ohs business, so caught up there.

I still have loads to catch up on:

Cleaning - change beds, washing away
Surveys - catch up on surveys, get £20 out of circle
Youtube - film 3, edit 1 and upload on Saturday.

I am going out for a date night tonight as a MS so that will be good. MIL having just one child as the other is at something else so thats nice and easy.


OH and agreed we could book 2 cheapish trips for my 40th in 2020 (rather than our original idea of an expensive Aus trip) if I can get 2 days off work (this cuts the cost by £1500). So I really want to get saving and earning to pay for this.

Enjoy your date night x

earthgirl

Thanks date night was great £4 spent on a meal out with drinks - whats not to love

I have felt so much better today, despite a little work stress that I'll deal with properly on Monday, I have had a REALLY relaxing yet productive day!

I have finished my mystery shop write up, edited a video, figured out more youtube stuff, got caught up on surveys and got my £20 payout. I ate sensibly (being really successfull with a new approach to losing weight - common sense really).

I've also had a great day with the kids too - drawing and playing games, and not sure if I have said here but ds1 is progressing really well with football and was playing at a SPL side today. No pressure on him - and we certainly don't push him and spend £10 a month on training for him - anyway its great that he enjoys it and is doing well.

Haha OH told me to come and edit to say Scottish premier league as apparently there is a big difference in the Eng/Scottish leagues - I'm totally clueless!

Tomorrow I am hoping to work on OHs business in the morning. We have a family lunch at a restaurant tomorrow in memory of my wonderful late FIL. Still very much missed.

oww on the periods, I have an implant so I don't get them which also saves me lots of money and is so convenient

Well done on your mortgages so far - you pay them off so fast, I'm in awe!

earthgirl

Thanks Kayacastle. I kind of miss the mortgage figures and paying it down and having that kind of focus! I think thats why I like filming about it as it has my brain thinking through what I'd do/ what I did etc. I like a challenge!

My latest offering is about How to live mortgage/debt free. We did 8 things to live mortage free in the last ten years - just love thinking about these things - am I mad?

Hiya earthie



Well, now you're mortgage free, that money is going on experiences and on savings for FIRE - you have such a lot of energy, you're bound to be doing *something* or other all the time you're not mad, you're bounding with energy

Fair enough - probably safe enough on your driveway!

I can completely appreciate the need to have a challenge - the change from having a mortgage to pay off to not must require a huge adjustment. And it's not mad - being money saving is definitely an evangelical hobby!
