How I did it
How to get up when my alarm clock goes off
It took me
5 weeks
It made me
Happy

How I did it: My boyfriend has helped by changing his schedule so that he now gets up at the same time as me. We have a radio alarm clock, and we have a strict rule of just one snooze and a short cuddle before we get up.We try to go to bed earlier, too. Read how I did it…

work in a charity shop (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 20 months ago

I’ve just picked up the form to volunteer in the Oxfam bookshop—they need someone on Wednesday morning. The trouble is, the more regular commitments I have, the harder it will be for me to get temp work.

I don’t want to be a pain by making them train me, only to suddenly find myself needing to take up a paid short term contract.

Oh well—it will encourage me to make money from the writing.

I’ve started A Feast For Crows. Train journeys and reading sessions just seem to vanish. I’m sad that it only covers half the characters, though—can’t wait to lay my hands on the next volume.
