Starting Afresh Back Home

Jessy103

Thanks all, I felt like I was maybe overreacting, but as cheery says, they need more help than I am able to give them. 

You are right crazybee, I do enjoy streaming and should try and do it more. The problem is streaming is very oversaturated now in that anyone and everyone is able to do it, so building up a viewship and earning money from it is getting more and more difficult, so I can earn more cleaning and gardening a month. Peak usage of twitch was during covid because as you can imagine so many people were at home and able to watch. Since then it has slowing been declining, this also makes it more difficult as people tend to have found the streamers they enjoy watching and stick with them, as opposed to looking and finding new ones to watch. Another issue is to know what game to play and stream. If you play a new game that has just come out, you compete with a lot of other streamers doing the same, but also some people don't want spoilers, so won't watch it until they have played it themselves. 
There's a lot more to it than you might think and sometimes it's just too much hard work for someone who can be very lazy, like myself 🤣

We've just come back from tea at my parents. We had red lentil and veg hotpot which was so delicious I had second helpings! We also had jam sponge and custard for pudding, which was equally as yummy and I am suitably stuffed! Think I will chill out with my book for the rest of the evening.

Thanks for the comments about audio books, I think it might be an option when I'm cleaning and if I move back into the factory office at work which is a lot quieter, I'll be able to listen to them then 🙂

Yuck. Definitely the right decision, you are a cleaner, not a carer ❤️

I wouldn't make you out as lazy with having a second job, streamling and walking dogs and full time first job, quite the opposite actually.

That’s absolutely dire Jessy - you are a better person than me - I would not have done it.

 The electric blanket is an absolute game changer in winter, I love ours!

Thanks ladies x

Today has been a nice chill one. Too cold and frosty to drive anywhere to take the dogs for a walk and with them feeling the cold more (even though they wear their coats), we just stayed in the warm. We set up the shoe box storage and I have to say I'm very impressed. They even sent little incense sticks which go in a groove in the handles to keep them smelling nice! 

We made swede and carrot soup for dinner and then I streamed this afternoon. We had fajitas for tea, made my DH and I love him to bits but he forgot to grate cheese in them! Like, that's the most important bit! 🙄🤣

Hopefully my payout for streaming will come tomorrow, which would be a nice bonus amount to put towards the mortgage. 🤞

The new shoe storage.

Blimey jessy, not regrets leaving that job I’m sure! Sorry but the weirdest bit is the fact they debated whether to clean it up or not 😱 very odd and clearly not a physical impairment, that’s beyond strange…

Urgh - definitely a job to not return to! 🤢What on earth made them think that was in any way acceptable to leave it for you?!

Thanks NG & greent x

I certainly didn't miss that cleaning job this week and I streamed instead and i received my payment from that of £106. I've paid that off the mortgage, so it now stands at £23,500. The next overpayment I make will be on 31st January, on payday and it will be £1k, so another step closer to getting under £20k which should happen by the end of April 🙂

Had some good news at work in that I will be moving back to the factory office, which is where I want to be and doing my preferred job role, by the end of the month. They are refurbishing the office downstairs in the building I'm currently in and as I'm in an office upstairs, they want me out the way, so that someone from downstairs can move upstairs to my desk. Fine by me! 

Three cleaning jobs done this week, although one of my older ladies wasn't very well, so my hour of cleaning was only half cleaning and the other popping into the village to get her prescriptions and lottery tickets for her. She was very worried she wouldn't get her lottery ticket in time and she has been playing the same line of numbers since it started and wouldn't it be typical for them to come up when she hadn't got it, bless her! 

Going for a family meet up at my grandads tomorrow as he turned 90 yesterday, he took great pleasure in showing me he had won £150 on the premium bonds. Told him that wasn't bad for a 90th birthday present!

Thanks crazybee  x

I was quite sensible when I bought this place and only got what I knew I could afford on my salary alone. I've been lucky since then in getting pay rises and I am well paid for what I do, which means I can overpay a lot each month. I'm also quite low maintenance (lucky for DH 🤣) in that I don't buy a lot of clothes or like to go out a lot, I'm happy going out for a nice walk with the dogs and then cosying up inside 🙂 i spend more money on the dogs and things for them instead of myself. I am a crazy dog lady 🤣
