Moving forward and upwards

~FlowerPot~

your nails sound lovely. I never do my nails, always seems like to much faff. BUt I dont like seeing nails when they are done nicely!

It sounds like you are really settling in well and bookings are coming along nicely, well done, hope you get to relax a bit over the weekend

Great that you are getting regular bookings and upselling. Lovely you are getting to sample the products too.

Sounds like paid bookings are increasing. Keep on keeping on

Thank you FP, SH and DIA

I get a lot of pleasure out of doing my own nails, as I'm back to using varnish I can change colour each week. 
- Thankfully, I don't feel like I should be fully made up for my salon work, not as if it would last as I get really hot when doing the big treatments.

Got my days mixed up and it was only nails and a new client facial booked in.
- Gut feeling is a funny thing and I didn't feel the latter would arrive, so wasn't surprised when the time came, went and no client appeared.

£95 needed for rent next week. Off the top of my head I've little person nails, adult nails and a big treatment booked in, can't think what else. It may be close covering my rent from earnings, however, it's still impressive this soon into being self-employed.
- I'll keep earmarking earnings for rent, with little top up from day job income if needed.

Sat in the garden for a bit when I got home, was sent to bed and woken up for food.

Tomorrow I'll tweak and submit FMB coursework, do some of the "posh" facial training and if the weather is ok have a potter in the garden.

Monday I'll pop to second home and sow a few seeds. Attend my massage treatment. Finish the "posh" facial training. Have my FBM demo. Slot in some rest!

Disappointing on the no show. 

Hope that rest materialises and that the weather is kind so you can also go to your second home. Love how much lighter and brighter it is now.

Thanks SH

We had lunch at SIL's, popped to a CS and picked up a pair of wide leg trousers and did the shopping. Rained therefore no gardening but I wouldn't have been able to do much anyway:
Unfortunately doing nails isn't great for me at the moment as it stretches already painful parts, causing more pain 😕

I tweaked and submitted my FBM coursework, typed the movement descriptions, finished all the theory and I'm ready for my demo tomorrow.
- I'll have to do the main "posh" facial training tomorrow.

Feet are well and truly up 🤭

Made it to 2nd home and showed some tom seeds in the GH. My main rhubarb is in flower.

Had my massage. Even I felt the knots as she went round 🤢 seem to have several more too. Got loads of exercises to do, I've block booked appointments and if there's no improvement after I'll be contacting a chiro who also does acupuncture and block booking for those.

After I popped to the garden centre. Picked up seed compost, sale / reduced price plants, bulbs and a big pot. Pottered in the garden when I got home.

Got the month wrong for the FBM demo, but had the right date 😮

Went back in the garden and created a beautiful arrangement in my new pot.

Attended a webinar and have had my feet up.

Tea was mexican wraps.

I'll chip away at the "posh" course this week.

I've done some watering and adore my potted flower creation 😍 

So far I've got sweetcorn seeds plumping up and I'll sow them in our garden when fat.
- I've got salad, root veg and pea seeds ready. I'll sow some this week and plant the violets I picked up.

I've sown two types of courgette, two types of chilli, cucumber and okra (aka ladies fingers). There's a bit of space in my windows to sow a few more as I'd like to get aubergines on the go. These are all for 2nd home and I'm focusing on getting half my plot fully up and running this year.

I did book a chiro appointment, earliest I could get was nearly a month away. 

Promise I'm resting for the evening and have been since having soup for tea 😊

Well done on the chiro. 

Sounds like you are having fun in the garden. Glad you are able to bask in your achievement of a lovely pot and allotment.

Chiro is a month away but you know it is coming and sometimes that alone can help. 
Garden and second home are sounding fab
