    I am feeling in much better spirits today yesterday I was stressed and worried, today I am light as a feather. This is because I am thinking that if I get the job today or not I am going to set up a new business, I am still working on business names etc and planning and development, but it will be around the ledgers; which I feel most confident in.

    Cash pot no change.

    Prolific £5.64/£13.23

    No spend day 15/19 Not including today.

    Have a good day allXX

    Thanks Newstart I went from one interview that was bad to one interview that was very good, however I got some insight into the job crisis, apparently there were 80 applications and more coming in and every candidate they have come in for interview is very strong, so if I get the job there is more reason to celebrate, and not to worry if I don't do well apart from being financially not secure - except I am doing okay now so I will just need to get another lodger I guess, not that I want one but needs must, I guess I will be okay, but I am feeling it for the poeple who are not in such a good place. 

    Today I have added to the pot which stands at £15.19, I have been off prolific as my mental health was not so great whilst doing it I don't know why, I'll just take a break then go back to it. I feel much better baking a cake and getting the place look a bit nicer.

    I have a chap coming on Monday thanks to MD to come and put together the bathroom cupboard and put it up. I want to get the All the decorating done before then, It is a touch up job, but I think realistically it will all need sanding down and painting where the mould has started to grow, I am really not looking forward to it. I think I will do this Sunday and start Saturday afternoon.

    Did I mention I can't remember but the lodgers new mattress didn't cost a penny, they have agreed to replace with a different one and it should last a bit longer with any hope (with 5 year guarantee) - This arrives Next week!

    Have a good evening allXX

    I appreciate you coming by Newstart and your message, I feel really drained today I felt like having today off, I have been to see MD and SFD and delivered their groceries for the week. So not nothing, but I just can't seem to stop feeling drained, I think I am eating too much cake, that won't help, I really need to quit cake - It doesn't help that I have beaten all cakes with the ultimate choc chip and banana cake - god it is yummy!

    On another note I have started my own business, the ad will hopefully appear soon in local paper I have sent the email with my logo on the signature of my email and on the ad that will be posted, I have a business email address and I even have a number especially for the business which I should receive soon. I spent money on the logo but it does look good (for logo, licence, brand & sim I have spent £133, I feel a bit nervey about this, however it does look professional. 

    Also I have looked for work today and found nothing to apply for.

    Also I am up to 16/19 no spend days to end the month with, I am sort of pleased with this but could aim for better.

    Hi Crazy Bee, if you are going to be doing book-keeping work have you got insurance? When I was self-employed I got insurance via my professional body (AAT), so if i did something daft I was protected. I found it lonely doing the books for my six clients and soon returned to temping as I enjoyed the company of others.
    Hope the lodger quest is sucessful

    Hi Chievely, Yes I had thought about that but I haven't got it yet, but plan to thanks. I don't find it lonely working remotely but sometimes I have to get out of these four walls, However I haven't been fully on my own ever so will see how it goes, but feel I should try it out. Thank you. I have postponed lodger quest owed to the fact that everyone wants the room now! So I shall wait until nearer the time.
