Day 40 of 183. 143 days to go.
Monday.
I was out enjoying myself, spending a bit of money, when i came home to find out that i have lost two contracts!!!
GULP
Fortunately i only bought a cushion and a new bath mat, and some sparkling water and loo rolls. I also bought three very indulgent items.
Magazines.
WHen i had money before i used to buy glossies.
I havent bought any, except for when ive gone on holiday, for about 5 years. They are soooooo expensive! There was barely any change from a tenner! Incredible. I won't be doing that often, but i did like doing it today 
I have been really enjoying myself swanning around spending money lately. Its a pity that all that pleasure has now gone.
On saturday, for instance, i bought the most beautiful decorative large bowl, to put into my new-look lounge. It was from the auction house and cost a massive £25. I felt as though i'd been shopping like the old days, when i might buy 3 sets of egyption cotton bedding for about £600, as a very occasional treat). But, back to the huge indulgence of spending £25 on an un-functional item such as a decorative bowl. When i went to pay, it ended up costing twenty nine pounds and some pence, because of various charges added (which, call me naive, i did not know about).
Oh what pleasure!
I was only saying to someone that i am enjoying having more money these days now that i have passed my exams and attained my MSc. I dont have to pay for any training costs anymore. Its fantastic! And, i have now finished paying for my car. Added to that, i got a great secure contract once per week which keeps me half-afloat on its own. That reliable income has been recieved with thanks, i can tell you.
Still.
"Do not Doom, Deter".
All could work itself out by next month and i may be back on track with my new found freedom due to monthly average earnings that have been good lately.
Theres time for things to change, yet. 
Tomorrow i have a very long day.
I am training somebody.
I need to leave here at 7-30 am and then have to dash straight to the LL group to be weighed and therapeeeed, and i will not return home until 8-30pm.
That's why i'm doing my blog early tonight. 
After Big Brother tonight, i'm off to sleep. 
My cats are very hot, and so am I. I've been in the garden from 5 till 7-15 tonight sunbathing and reading my magazines (i have a rare weekday evening free of work! so i planned it to perfection)
Somebody that i met last April read my tarot cards. For reasons explained a few times, but that i do not comprehend, she is also set on doing me another reading.
I recieved an email last week asking what i wanted my reading to be based around (what question would i like to ask). I duly replied with said question. It was the question that i raised in one of my previous posts here in this dieting blog, where i was weighing up which business opportunity i should follow.
Should i follow the money and slightly lower my professional status amongst colleagues (emphasis on 'slightly'). This will entail a small outlay and will build up relatively quickly (within a year) to become a substantial salary.
Or do i spend very little money, but invest huge amounts of time getting myself known for what i already do - and, in fact, perhaps specialise even further in a few areas. This way my profesional stauts will be enhanced, in the view of others within the industry. It will not reap in the same rewards, financially as the option above.
If both options were carried out succesfully and brought in the rewards as projected, the second option just doesn't have the capacity to generate even half of what the first option is capable of bringing in.
Aaaaaaaanyway.
I asked my mystical person whether i should invest the money and take the first path towards the bigger money.
She said that she did the reading a few days ago when it was a full moon.
She said she would write up the results today and email them.
It is now a quarter past eight in the evening and i have not heard from her yet.
You, my trusty confidente, shall of course be enlightened also with the jist of the message, once i have recieved it!
