Elantan's enjoying her excellent adventure

elantan

no please dont karma you are totally right ....i am trying to look at it as saving money towards other things like the reflexology etc that way i can provide more services and eventually once i have done everything i want to (this will take time) i will put the money towards other things ...so essentially for me i will be looking at saving not making and i will sit down and decide how much i want to charge discounts for friends etc

well i have been to bed and got up again ...i have started (yet again) to take readings from the gas and electricity for the last three weeks i have managed to cut the electricity usage down by a bit by simple things but mainly by being more aware i think ...the gas has came down as well so i am quite happy ...just need to stay on top of it now so that it stays that way ...gas has came down by 0.5 unit which isnt much(but i am only using 2 units a week just now so not too bad) but the electricity is down by 16 units approx from 62 units a week

it might not sound a lot, but percentage wise that is pretty good :T

elantan

your right hypno and it is going to get to the point that everything counts soon ...i have to get on top of this debt if i am to succeed ...and ofcourse that is going to involve more planning and square charts lol

well i managed to get a bit of sleep today and have picked up son from his c.b.t training (thats what he chose to spend his exam results money on) and while i was there popped into visit a good friend who just happened to have completed the course i am starting next month she gave me loads of books covering the subject which in turn will save me a fortune yippeee ...money saving day for me then

That is excellent - books are always far more expensive than you expect.....so to get them for free is very :j :j :j :j

Great news on the books - really helpful start. I'm with Karma on the charging and I *really* like her way of thinking about it (thanks Karma!). I have some qualms about charging for dog training - not so much classes and courses but the sessions where people are in a real mess and both they and the dog need help! I like the charging for time, professionalism, room but not for me! Think though in the end people value what they pay for more - reasonable rates - with some mechanism for giving access to those who really can't afford it - seems the way to go.
