  • Hang on in there Bob. 7 days...
    You have a plan, and if worst comes to worst then use the credit card. You're quite right, you have a family to feed and you need to look after you and them. You have the option there, and don't you dare feel guilty if you need to use it.
  • Loving the tip on the slip mat. Thanks bob hang in there. You're amazing :D

    Bob, you've got to do what you've got to do. Please don't beat yourself up over it.

    Thank you Cat I heard a great saying the other day, " when we plan God laughs' ain't that the truth:T

    Good Morning

    Last night I received two private messages. The first was absolutely delightful and I am grateful to that user.

    The second was vile. I really have to wonder what is wrong with people who take time out of their day to go about trolling others. Reported to admin obviously.

    I am not going to stop keeping MY diary for anyone.

    That's so rude Bob, how dare anyone be so horrible to people.

    I love reading about your days - exhausting though they sound, I don't know how you fit it all in :)

  • I've been slowly catching up on your diary Bob.

    Some people can truly be awful, it makes me wonder what they gain out of sitting at a screen throwing nasty comments/insults at others.

    Your days always sound so busy and packed with things. I think an 8 mile walk would feel like torture to me.

    Hope you're well.

    Hi All

    Wealth

    * Very poor. Still 7 days to get through till payday.

    * In good news, I decided to make a meeting with the person mentioned above. I thought to myself you never know where things will lead. And in more exciting news I have a good opportunity to take on another monthly client, so meeting with them tomorrow.

    * But without sounding defensive I hope, it isn't actually my fault, having expected £400 at the end of this week and a further £200 next week. Shortfall due to cancellation.

    Bob

    Bob I'm really sorry you're having a stressful time. You are not being defensive at all - this is NOT your fault, you made business contacts and other people let you down. It is a shame, and it has put you in a difficult position, and you're doing the best for your family to make the best of it. So don't apologise for yourself :)

    But I hope these meetings go well! That's good sign for the future!! Wishing you all the regular bookings :)




    Also: :mad::mad::mad: to the person who had nothing better to do with their time than be cruel to you in such a cowardly way, PMing you! That would genuinely upset me I think, so I hope you've managed to shrug it off.
