Life is a marathon not a sprint

Sunday, whoop. And my only day for a lay in. Yesterday I had an audition for providing children's parties and preschool classes in drama. All good fun, and would be a little extra cash. But it meant me missing my Saturday lay in. I have no money again, as I work on 0% contract I only get paid for the hours that i do, and unfortunately a couple of weeks ago I was very Ill and had to miss 2 1/2 days of work. Such is life, so I missed out on the pay, so have gone over my overdraft once again, which means I will probably get a whopping bank charge which I won't be able to pay, and will have to revert to the bank of mum and dad. Sigh. 

Apart from the money thing. I am actually feeling incredibly positive. I seem to be in control of my life in a way that i really wasn't last year. I have a fairly (touch wood) stable day job, which although doesn't pay great, does pay some, so i can just about keep my head above water most weeks. I am starting to create my own work, with a really good friend from drama school. I am applying for more corporate acting work with other companies. And I am applying for acting work, as well  Also I am going out more, seeing people, enjoying London. We are about to renew the contract on our flat down here, and i couldn't be happier about that. I feel like that is an achievement in itself, all three of us managed to survive a whole year down here relatively unscathed. It was a stressful year, and not exactly an easy ride, but hey we made it. I think we'll have a proper celebration when it is actually the date we moved in, but for now, getting the new contracts through felt like a real achievement.
