Fridays Mo 52 week Money Challenge - Week 19....Took midweek change from the money pot.

I used a different collage app which reduced the quality of the pictures so I can't increase this size as I normally do. Anyway, it's week 19 of the year and of the challenge.  As normal, I decided it was easier to take change from the money pot rather than give the correct change. You know that's how many vending machines make more money by demanding 'correct change' so if you put in more you never get any change. Have you being cheated that way? I have.

So starting from the lower left picture and working upwards and clockwise or to the right. I have a twenty quid note. The next picture is the twenty quid note with the money pot. I opened the money pot took my change of one quid out. The following picture is me plonking the twenty quid into the post. After that is closing the pot with my one quid change outside the box.

I had to change some notes, so I took from change from the money pot. Yes, breaking the rules again, but you know what? It was bound to happen. Had to break a twenty to give someone a tenner (ten pound note).

I wish I could say how interesting and inspiring this challenge is but it's not. It's a down right pain and irritating. It's always on my mind how I'm going to meet next week, be it time wise to take pictures or where I'm going to get the cash from. Its sucks. Why am I doing it? It's a challenge and I want to see how far I can get.

I'm thinking of moving this to my weekly round up. Maybe even my movie/film night since that is falling behind due to work. However this week I didn't get DVD movies, anyway I reported them to the place but they may come tomorrow. There is normally a backlog with the post/mail after a bank holiday.

Up Date on Happenings: Newly Single & 17% pay raise.

Hey Everyone, So update since my last entry. Well I had a brief fling with Mr Sexy Guy and decided he wasn't the one for me. He was cool but I learned the difference between lust, chemistry and personality. It just didn't tango for me. I'm still grossly overweight, well, fat. I don't think there is anything wrong with being called fat. I am fat. I need to lose weight but that means getting organised and stop eating delicious food. Then again my knees are hurting me and joints feel the ache. I also haven't been to the gym in three months despite paying for it. But when I do, I normally go for the sauna, hot tub and   steam room session. I've thought of cancelling the exorbitant membership but in the climate apart from bills it's the one thing that is just for me...that when I use it. Work is fine, managed to get a 17% pay raise. A big thanks to my boss who also pushed for it. It's good to work for people who support you in that matter. I think tha...

Show me your desk: Books, magazines, bottle of water, and same old clutter.

Today I have more of a writerly desk, so let's roll. From the far left handside is my writing magazine, I treat myself to it, and it has some interesting articles at times. It's just something I flick though the way other people buy GQ, Vougue or Marie Claire. It's my monthly interest magazine, and no I don't do the writing exercises but then who buys all the clothes, make-up and perfume advertised in the high-end women's magazines.  Next is a bottle of vitamins, this was a gift from Sis. Yes, as you probably realise, Sis is very generous with her gifts as they are normally featured on my desk. If fact the Apple Notebook is also one.  A small fact is that I bought my first phone only two years ago because for the last ten years, Sis gave me all her hand-me-downs. She's very on top of technology - ahead of the curve, wave or early adaptor.  Anyway she got me them because she's into healthy eating and body care, and probably got them on discount. ...

March Update: Photoshop Composting, Writing, Meal Plan, My first trip out of my area.

  This is one of the composites, I created in one of the courses. This was based on graphic design and I feel like an island floating in a new landscape. It is a composite of three images with a bit of blending.  This was from a boo Photoshop Composting I'm still finding my way with this, so I have the technical skills which I realise it a matter of masks and blending modes however the next thing is to keep on doing it until I learn the principles of graphic design. It's complicated to explain and I'm still finding my way but basically at some point I need to start doing my own stuff, and right now those images look a bit awkward until I get the design aspect right. It can be fun but also some aspects can be tedious and boring. And I guess it's a matter of keep on practice,  and I also want to get to the point, I can use my own pictures.  Writing  Going well and steady, nothing significant to report on that front. But I'm looking at a soft deadline of completing...
