Delighted

How I did it: I spoke to my financial adviser about what I wanted from a pension. He was very helpful, and asked lots of questions about how much I thought I could afford, and what my plans for the future were.We filled in some forms, sent them off and before I knew it, I was putting away a small amount each month.   Read how I did it…

work in a charity shop (read all 2 entries…)

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.
