    Morning everyone, 
    Hope you all have a lovely weekend . I have a cold and it's caused me to relapse. So I'm feeling absolutely rubbish to put it nicely. 

    I'm spending the weekend and next week really concentrating on my side hustle project. It's time consuming but I'm getting there slowly.  I have 11 or 12 days off after my shift on Monday so I'm going to commit to at least 4 hours a day to it. 

    It will cost me a small amount of money as it costs to list on etsy. But that's all it will cost me and my time. I'm thinking of doing a fa&ebook page or website too at some point to help keep the costs down but we will just see how the next few months go. 
    I'll be keeping all spends/ income (if I'm lucky enough 🤞) separate to personal budget so I know where I am at. The double win is I'm focusing on this instead of browsing online. 🤞 it will pay off in the long run. 
    All the kids will be at school in sept so I will then start my second side hustle project if I am well enough, it requires the constant use of my hands and a steady hand which I don't currently have. These projects are things that I have had on the back burner for a while. But then my health declined and I was just too unwell. My health is still in a bad place since Sept. I sometimes wonder if I will ever fully recover or be back to where I was but for now I'm trying to make the best of it. 
    As I had to reduce my hours at work I thought now would be the best time to now focus on my side projects. 

    Tonight we are having Fakeaway we brought the stuff with the food shop the other day so today will be another no spend . Got a few daily jobs done this morning. 

    Edit to add. 

    I've spent about 6 hours on what I will call project a . (Side hustle) today. And will do some more tonight 

    Have a lovely evening everyone

  • Good afternoon my beautiful diary friends. 
    I hope you are all well. I've been working hard at project a. Its keeping me busy without causing me to physically feel worse. 
    I also have everything lined up and planned for project b. But my focus right now is project a I'm not going to run before I can walk. 

    Lots more to do for project a this week. It's taking more time than I originally thought but that's okay. 

    Nothing to report re spending etc as my only spends the last few days have been my et$y listings. I wanted to do a shop on my fac@book page but I haven't managed to work out how at the moment. 

    Off to work this afternoon 😴 

    Have a lovely day everyone 
    Love hugs positivity and prayers to you all x ❤

  • Morning my beautiful diary friends, I hope you are all well. I'm sending hugs and love to you all. 

    I did the food shop yesterday. I can't remember how much I spent. I'll find the receipts and update first page.

    I got my covid test result from testing at work and it is positive. I cried when the lady told me on the phone. I'm not one that has to shield but my health and my one sons health isn't great so it's a massive worry for us all. I managed to get a slot with Mr t for tomorrow for extra milk etc  to see us through until next weekend. 

    Well I'm off and semi well ... as I said In previous posts my pain is much worse since Tuesday I'm going to get the house in order 🙃
    Get stuff done I've been putting off 

    Have a good day everyone  

    Love hugs positivity and prayers to you all ❤
