Daily Writing Journal: Week 15 Fridays Mo Money 52 Week Challenge! Breaking The Rules with £15 savings

I only had £11.50 so it was £3.50 short so I'm breaking the rules and putting in an IOU note for the balance. So lets call it out, one tenner, one pound and fifty pence in coins all make up £11.50 plus the £3.50 on the paper note makes £15. I'm not sure when I'm going to exchange the IOU for real cash. I guess I should at some point. Why? Well I just didn't have the correct change on me for the pot.

So the picture of the money pot and the £11.50 and £3.50 IOU note. I was actually thinking I needed to bank the cash soon but where? I'd probably need to open up a saving accounts. I was thinking a credit union account. Anyway let's just see how far I get.

The camera used the flash so it looks different from the rest of the pictures, but you can see the sad smiley face of my IOU note plus the other monies. Yeah, I guess that's it. Finance is boring, it really is, spending is more interesting but can make you BROKE and IN DEBT.

I'm thinking of cutting back on spending, maybe carrying packed lunch to work. I did try carrying vegetables crudités and homus but I got bored very quickly. I don't like sandwiches because they can get soggy with fillings, and salads just seem wet. What I eat at lunch? Typically just junk or whatever I can find for fancy. I admire people who bring in a packed lunch everyday. Maybe I won't need to do IOUs but at times it's hard to work hard and not feel the need to buy lunch once in while. Anyway that is another blog post for another day.

My African American & Black Love Romance Adventure Nearly Ready After Four Years.

Thanks for dropping by and taking the time to read this. This post is going to be about my upcoming black love and African American contemporary romance release, which I think tentatively will be late this year or early 2024. It will be a six-part serialised novel, and I'll reveal the date nearer the time. It has been five years since my last black love romance novel. I have two novellas published on Amazon, and I'm pleased to finally say, I'm about to publish again. It's been a long time. I planned to release this book in February 2019, but after a long writer's block and other things, it had taken me this long to complete it. If you follow this blog on and off, I've spoken about it a lot over the years. I'm thinking maybe I should relabel those blog posts as a series of how it developed. The Story Description The names have changed well from Angelica to Pippa but it's fine. Everyone wants someone special but PIPPA MILLER thinks not her. She

Lost Four Pounds! Attended Pilates! Watched Patricia Bright

On Friday my boss got bored of me talking about my eating plan and how I only used my gym for the spa facilities, so let's just say I forced to put my money where my mouth was and ended up booking five exercise sessions. Yes, hard to believe I've been with my gym for over a year and have NEVER ATTENDED A GYM CLASS. Mainly, because I like the spa and thing food reduction is the way to lose weight also just thinking of exercise exhausts me. I needed to book them via the website but having never done it, my password failed so I rang, in front of my boss, the gym to book it. Proof. They are mainly low impact classes so nothing too strenuous or so I thought. Come Saturday, I'm down the gym for my pilates class with all these fit, slim and trendy people. It's a 9AM class so basically like a work day for me. I thought pilates was gentle. Not. I say this having done it for about three years in a dance school - yeah I was once about twenty pounds or ten kilos lighter - and the

HAPPY NEW YEAR - LET THE GOALS ROLL

Hello all. Happy New Year! So last year was awesome for me because I managed to achieve one goal. The biggest goal which was to get a new job. And that came with financial reward as well. Yay! It was hard, challenging, horrible. I hate change but I had to get out of the rut I was in. Dudes, I was desperate to move. So I dug deep, did my interview practice, attended a number of interviews and hit one. Yay. Now longer gaming. I didn't need the escapism with my new positive work environment. I also abandoned the iPhone family and went Android. To cut a long story short, I got bought an iPhone 8 but it was faulty - however Apple weren't transparent about their return policy - ALWAYS ASK ABOUT RETURN POLICY. Nor did they believe the phone was faulty. It was. Anyway I was so disgusted the arrogance of the 'apple people', I decided instead of getting a replacement to spend my money elsewhere. I'm still part of the Apple family. But the Apple Store sales assist
