I was a cleaner. I don’t qualify for the SE grant because I’ve only been SE since April last year.

Thankfully 70% of my clients have kept me on & we work together for my benefit & theirs.
Today I’ve dog walked, gardened & ironed in a garage.
I’m shopping for 4 clients- I leave shopping in their drive.
3 clients have terminal conditions so I’m delighted that I can help them .
I’m painting a secluded garden room at the weekend.

It's gone for now and will probably remain down the shitter til September with a busy quarter 4 and working over Christmas to recover the year. Great.

That's impressive, OP (not being sarcastic).

I’m not rubbing anyone’s nose in it .
I’m nearly 50 & the gardening is killing my back but I have no choice but to adapt to survive.
It is survival for me
