God knows how many days it has been now

Hi Everyone

Sorry I haven't written for a little while, I have Carpel Tunnel and awaiting surgery, but they are feeling good at the moment.

So I will start with an update.

We are still in the Homeless Shelter and have been now for 41/2 months, but next week, 7/17/09 we can start bidding, so fingers crossed.

A lot has happened since I last posted. Quick recap of the last weeks: -

  • My daughter, Taylor turned 5 years old and my husband had his 35th birthday
  • I went on an Internet Marketing Course, thanks to the Simon Coulson, a UK Internet Entreprenuer who gave me a free place, which was very interesting
  • I have joined a Slimming Club and have lost 14lbs in 4 weeks and still determined (not sure of the kilos conversion)
  • The family with 4 children have now moved out, as of today, so it will be quiet around here
The weather has been gorgeous here in the UK and we have taken advantage of having the forest behind us and taken the children on long walks and pinic which is great for family time (and weight lose!!!).

Finally got myself some work at home, 2 projects - one is to update a website for one of the father's who attend the gym to bring in more traffic to his site and the other is for someone who use to live in the Shelter and visits on a regular basis. He is just starting to sell an ebook on how to bring in different income sources, which is something he learnt after leaving the shelter and is now very wealthy. He has asked me to produce the Sales Letter, Website and develop the email to be sent to all his current customers for other products he sales and has offered me a percentage of the sales for managing it all for him. So very determined to make both of them to work.

Still looking at migrating to Australia, but it will be harder for us now Steve is 35, but we can still get State Sponsorship. So things are looking up and we will succeed.

Today we helped the family who have just moved out finish off before going off to their new home, we wish them all the best and hope things work out. They were in here for a total of 8 months. Thankfully, we may be out sooner.

Still have no TV, but we are watching loads of DVDs and TV on the internet. Because I don't get a paper normally, we didn't even know that Michael Jackson had died until the Saturday, how sad is that!!! We are a bit of the loop really!

But now I make a point on checking the news online and since his death brought a paper daily to keep as part of marking history. It is something I have done for years and have newspapers from all over world relating to historical moments. Thankfully when we had the fire, things like these were packed away securely and were not damaged. But when I got them all back, the Company had specially sealed every newspaper for me, so they will never lose there colour. Must of cost a fortunate, hopefully I can do this with my newer copies in the future.

I am going to go now, this was just quick update and will start posting again tomorrow properly.

See ya tomorrow.
