after months and months of nothing really good happening, though I keep battling on, I've finally got a break!

I was an aromatherapist for 17 years but lost my premises last year. Been a couple of offers but nothing concrete.

Then last week the Sister (Catholic nun) who runs the retreat where I do voluntary work agreed I could have one of the empty bedrooms as a treatment room! No rent, just give them £5 each time I do a treatment! It'll be emptied by Tuesday!

This means, with no pressure of overheads etc. I can do a couple of treatments a week and keep my hand in while earning a bit of money. I'm on Incapacity, so can earn up to £86 a week, which is 2-3 treatments!
