"I'm not lost for I know where I am. But however, where I am may be lost."

I just applied for a couple of jobs, they aren't much per week, but I'm not supposed to be doing more than 10 hours a week paid work anyway, but they will make a difference, so fingers, paws, appendages etc etc crossed, please!!

As many of you know, since I had to move middle of last year from my home of thirteen years into a house where the rent was almost double what I was previously paying, money has been very tight, at the end of most months I am lucky if I have a positive balance of $5 in my bank account.

I am a qualified proofreader/editor and a fully qualified counsellor and I need more work, I have some but it is not enough, I am studying to update my counselling qualifications, so I am on Austudy at the moment, I need more proofreading work, my rates are cheap/reasonable depending on the service required; I can provide anything from basic proofreading right up to substantive editing.

So if anyone needs the services of a proofreader, or knows of anyone who needs one, please get in touch with me, this is getting more and more urgent, I am never going to be able to get ahead if I only just barely break even each month.

My washing machine broke down last month, I can't afford to even get someone to come and look at it and see if it's really borked, and if it is I can't replace it, I need to find money from somewhere to buy wood so we can be warm this winter.

I really need some work.
