This is for MDs Birthday I made it myself from a kit.

I have made up my mind I listened to my friend, I am going to get a full time job if I should be so lucky. Mentally I do feel better, chances are it won't be perm but we'll see I could get lucky...I am really hoping for the remote job, that way if my car does fail me in the future I would hopefully still be earning, and afterall it is what I have been after for some time. Having a car always worries me, because I need one and they are very expensive!

Today sadly I spent money again, actually I spent too much, I really shouldn't have especially as I don't have a job. I can be a bit reckless sometimes..why did I do it? I don't know, I felt to just do it go for a Sunday roast, I kept it to main and side, then I bought dessert in MandS as well as flowers...which are beautiful...I guess I have celebrated before I have a job. I have just remebered I bought some things from Boots too....what am I like...If I don't get one of these jobs, I will have to change my spending quite a bit...really I need to do this now...actually I think I will sell the clothes I kept aside when I blitzed all the too small and stored and not used clothing. I kept back items I wish I hoped I would fit into again, pallazzo pants and a velvet dress amongst other items...I dealt they will sell for big bucks, but it may pay for today, I'll have to go through everything and see what I can sell, although it wasn't long ago that I blitzed through my belongings and I feel potentially there is not much value in it...I could reapply myself to prolific again...But I don't think I want to do that just now - I found it a bit hard going and a bit destructive going at it like I did, perhaps I say that now because I haven't been feeling well, but I did bomb through a lot.

Tomorrow I need to attempt and do something productive in the hallway...actually If I could promise to put up all the ceiling masking tape that would be a step in the right direction, also first thing I need to sort out washing. And I will hope and pray for a call about one of the jobs. I also have started again doing the big cross stitch project there is a heck of a way to go, I have basically done about 10 grass leaves of a 10,000 pieces, But it will come together in time, I don't know what I shall do with it, I really hope it looks good, I have never tackled anything quite like it or received anything like it, I like the picture a lot so I may want to frame it...early days.

Anyhow I must be up early as SFD needs to go to the gp...I hope he will be okay, he is very tired and in bed a lot and losing muscle mass, which does not sound goodXX

Today I have purchased fuel but no snacks therefore I am up to 10/19 No spend days (as fuel is esssential). I have put the ceiling masking tape up and finished the wood masking tape. I am planning to do three things tomorrow which is: 1) Put masking tape around the door, 2) Paint top coat on door once and 3) once again. Before the following day where I will paint the hallway once and the next day if needed paint again.

Now I haven't told you my most exciting news and that is I have a job interview with an accountancy firm with potential for remote working, although I will need to ask for details once I go for the interview. It is for a bookkeeper however I will be doing tax which I haven't done before, also final accounts which will be new for me too, I am also hoping that I can do some management accounts, but we will see, I should think I will get the same pay as my last perm role...I have to say I am really keen!

Ohh and I have been put forward for one of the credit control jobs I applied for, I await to hear about the remote role, but I did call and it is a real job, so hopefully I will hear back. This evening, I will do some cross stitch and plan what I will do with the kitchen with regards re-decorating...I have the paint so I can do that side of it...But I would like to put new tiles in and worktop, I have most of the tiles...anyhow it is a savings mission as well as EF..but not before the job.

Thanks very much RedLipstick I really appreciate the comment XX.

I am now officially a published author, I got the email last night that the book I wrote is now live, it is only a short story, but it was so easy and hopefully it helps someone who faces similar issues. I am not expecting to earn a great deal from this but it is something from my bucket list.

Today I will pop to MDs this morning like I have done all week then commence with the decorating when I get back. I find I quite like spending my time this way, I enjoy seeing MD then I feel ready to do some decorating when I get back. Then job search and interview prep in the early evening.

I have done what I wanted to do today plus more...I have masking taped the door, small job I know, I have painted the door twice. I have been to MDs and SFDs and they are both doing fine, I have had a celebratory lunch due to book being published and MD could have been my first customer! At least one book has been purchased!! By my dear MD, she said she enjoyed reading it. And drum roll please...MD wants me to write her story and I have already started.

I think I will prepare for the interview tonight, as I want to get my head in the picture of getting a job, I need to search for jobs also, I have been searching but not given it my all yesterday and today so far, I will tonight. I think I am not going to apply for roles outside of my location from 25 miles around as I don't think the remote roles I see further afield are interested, they prefer local and they get there pick of candidates, my CV is not really succeeding at this...I think this is where the longevity helps...so If I get somewhere good I want to stay there for 5 years!! That is the dream!!

I best be getting on with job search now and interview prep...I hope you have a good eveningXX

P.S I have just checked a new function on amazon kindle publishing and MD is the first person to buy and read my book HaHa! One soul purchaser!! I love that she is the first, I wonder if there will be a second?

RedLipstick

Ah what a beautiful achievement re published story, I'm sure it's one of many Fantastic start of the week and I'm glad to hear everything is going well! Keep at it! have a great evening and good luck with the prep, do an early one for some beaty sleep, found interviews go easier when my mind is well rested, and there is no need to rush in the morning, etc. Is it a virtual or face to face interview? Looking forward to read all about it tomorrow! Good luck!

Thanks @RedLipstick the first interview I have is on Friday and the second interview I have got is on Monday. Fridays is Face to Face and it is for a part time role, I may not have another option then to take it as it perm and will pay for most bills along with a lodger. However Mondays one has the option of going full time and is online however it is the wrong location but there is a real potential it could go remote? So I will see.

I have written my second book today, it is being read by MD as it is a first draft and needs MDs approval as it is about her and her experiences as a wheelchair bound lady. I hope to publish it in a few days, I am deciding whether to give the rights so that only amazon can distribute it, potentially I could get more sales out of it, I think it might be worth trying as I am still at one sale dear MD!

Today I spent money but then used Prolific funds to pay for it, but I really shouldn't be spending money as I am not earning, and if I end up with the part time role I won't have enough money to spend really actually I think tonight I will do some calculations...

I would definetely need a lodger if I take the pt job and if I get the full time role I wouldn't. However I am not sure how flexible they are with regards to remote working? I think I will send out some pre-emptive emails relating to the roles as their answers I may not go for the interview and I don't want to waste anyones time.

Today I have been to MDs to get more of her story so that I could change the story some what and add to it. I completed another draft in the morning which she agreed was better. I have now added to it again from the notes I made so it is the same length as my first as a coincidence. So I now feel we are bordering on final draft territory.

I have also painted part of the hallway, gosh it really is going to look very good when it is done, as the bit I have done is a real improvement, I just have a single brush so it is going slow, I have stopped for the day but I would say I am maybe over the halfway mark as I have done the larger areas, the rest to do are the bits between the doors. So I am pleased there would have been a time where I would have pushed myself to get it all done in one hit, but not now!

Unwisely I have spent today, on farm shop food, rather enjoyable but very naughty and a bit pricey, not a cheap visit either! But very much enjoyed! One day I will just go for the fruit! (I had strawberries (first this year) very good!)...and two big oranges.

Tonight I am going to do a big job search as I am not sure either interview will be fruitful as I have not heard back from either after I messaged them. Life is good!

Sometime later...

I have discussed with my lodger life and the universe tonight, I really enjoy his company I will miss him when he is has gone, he said he may come back some time, but we will see, anyhow he is here until August so there is a bit of time with him yet! Tomorrow I am going to get a birthday present, it is his 21st next week, he sneekily already told me what he wants!!

I have spoekn to my psychiatrist today as well and she said the only thing left for me to do is to lose weight (as well as get a steady job!) so I am thinking again and I have just changed my shop...it is mind over matter for the most part, I am not going too fast, I am going to change my breakfast to porridge and change my lunch to just a sandwich and nothing else, I have seen SFD just get a sandwich for lunch and he doesn't have any of the other bits and pieces so it can be done (don't ask me how my mind works it is unfathomable!). And dinner needs to change, but I am not sure how yet?

Today I have heard about a local job going and I am quite keen for it, it is in a brewery. I do have an interview in the morning with the recruiter about the role and then the P/T role interview in the afternoon, I have been thinking about how this could work with getting full time work there is another p/t role that wanted the hours spread over the days also and it is not far from the P/T role - anyhow lets see how it goes.

I am a little worried about losing weight and gaining it as it is not good for health, but everyone, the voices within, MD and Psychiatrist all say that I need to lose weight. I am more then very large at this time.
