I made £175 in November
I'm not doing this to make a killing, I'm doing this for an independent life.

At the moment it's bouncing between extremes.

There are certain big name agents out there
With a marked reluctance to pay. I invoice at the end of the month although I've not had chance to do so today.

Red bills will be going out on Friday.

I stopped at my house for an apple and a bag of crisps.
And a big sedge.

Nil pints.

Emmerdale is filmed about 20 mins drive from my house.

Stainforth. Look it up.
