Today has been one of those days that just makes you want to dust off that blog that’s been sitting in the cupboard unloved for a while. The last day or so I’ve been having car trouble (well, longer than that with general or “other” car troubles. This specific issue has been a couple of […]

Rookie mistakes
Why on earth is asking people for money so difficult? The one part I’m hating about being self-employed above all others is chasing up unpaid invoices. There have been a few teething problems for me. People have made mistakes when setting me up as a new vender within colleges or just never had to deal […]
Day 252 – 258
Day 252 – 258 First thing’s first, the Sunday of this week was the Man-shape’s birthday! I know it is late on the blog (it was on the 9th) but I can assure you, I definitely said it to him directly on the day: “Happy birthday honey! I wish you a coming year that is […]
Day 238 – 242
Day 238 – 242 First lesson I have learned that I can share with you all today: When trying to keep a blog of a year long self-development project, don’t decide that you really need to take a break and not write for a few weeks. What will happen is you will catch up to […]
Day 231 – 237
Day 231 to 237 Quiet week. And how glad I am of that! This is the last week before I will find myself working for myself a few days out of each week. I spent some of the week going back and forth with Disclosure Scotland (the people who do police checks in Scotland). I […]
Day 224 – 230
Day 224 – 230 This week was so fast. The weekend flew past in a flurry of trying to finish my crochet blanket squares. As of 12th August I was all set to finish and then I ran out of wool with 3 squares to go… Typical! I haven’t got more wool yet and […]
Day 217 – 223
Day 217 – 223 This week I turned the career corner. Saturday evening when I finally checked my post something had arrived. I am a registered trainee sign language interpreter! My badge had arrived! Considering the day before I was so low – on hands and knees trying to fix my freezer low as well […]
Day 210-216
Day 210 – 216 The week after my grandpa died was tough. Not because of grief as such, I wish I could say it was that, that would make it easier to write about. On the Monday I had an interview with a local call centre for a bank (I think I mentioned the telephone […]
Day 207
Day 207 Mum and I had an interesting chat this evening. We were talking about the choices that people make and how you can often see the consequences before they even happen. You can see exactly what result they are about to get that is exactly what they don’t want. Jillian Michaels talks about this […]
Day 198/199
Day 198 & 199 Very little to say over the last couple of days, I’ve been drowning in paperwork mostly, and job applications. As my search of a job in my chosen fields is so far showing cold results only I am widening the field. I hope I don’t end up in a job I […]
