    Thanks jwil. I thought that may have been it. OH uses the desktop PC. This is located in the man cave where he goes to play on line games.
    So, yesterday I got my ancient ipad to remain in use for long enough for me to update the password here so easy access has, for now, been reinstated. This is good as I need more regular postings to keep me on track.
    Big project plans are progressing. However, there has been a potential derailment due to external factors and I haven't plucked up the courage to find out how bad the impact is.
    Yesterday I went for a reiki session. I had bought a voucher for this when there was a bonus cash back available and got it booked on Friday for yesterday. It was lovely. I'm not completely sure that I get the whole thing that should happen but it's an hour's relaxation and pampering and you can't really be bad to that. I then nipped to a shop to buy a £10 deal. Turns out it's not available in NI so I left £30 poorer. Got some business admin done and it's looking like the taxman won't be getting any pennies from me this year.
    I also transferred £50 to DS from my personal account. He was in oz on holiday and his Christmas present was money to spend. However, I held back £50 of what I had intended to give him so there would be something in reserve to get him to payday. MackeyDs will be happy!
    Today I need to go into the low paying job for an hour or so. I'd sooner not but it needs done.
    Today I am grateful for

    Am rushing but am trying to get back to regular posting. Today will be a full day at the low but prompt paying client. Lots and lots to do there and also need to construct a work to do list as have other stuff to address.
    Yesterday we renewed my website so another payment from the account. Wednesday will be at least another three thanks to necessary tolls. That £250 is in my sights! Anyhow, gotta get a wiggle on. Today I am grateful for

    So, major crisis is ongoing at yesterday's job. That means a meeting to be held today that has to happen but that I don't really have time for as I've other stuff planned in. Spends yesterday were £1 on a subsidised lunch and today will be low spend as dd and I are using a voucher to go for afternoon tea.
    Had a spectacularly disturbed night's sleep yesterday and feel dreadful but, if I were employed, I'd get myself into gear and get on with the job so I need to do the same on the hours scheduled for work today. Yesterday I kept a large hardback notebook alongside my desk and noted down tasks as they occurred to me. I got 2 done last night but need to get cracking on the others. Today I am grateful for

    I hope your meeting goes okay. That's the lower paid but reliable job, isn't it? Worth keeping if you can... not what you need when there's so much else to do, though.

    That's a great idea about the jobs notebook. I suppose it's like the idea of keeping a notebook by the bed so you can note stuff down rather than worry about it. That one doesn't work for me because I'd wake DH! It's such a nice feeling to cross jobs off your list though.
