This is just a quick one today to let you know that I’m taking a break from posting here.

I’m still looking for a flat, and am busy working on other areas of my business (unfortunately I can’t afford another break from that!) As it stands we have found a flat we like, that will save us money too, but the landlady seems impossible to get in touch with. So hopefully I’ll hear back today otherwise we’ll keep looking. Flats get snapped up really quickly at the moment!

Whatever happens, I will be moving around mid-April, so I’ve decided to take my break until then. I just won’t be posting here, but I’ll still be sending out my free PLR to those who are subscribed, and still posting at the blogs that earn me money

I am also really hoping to catch up on all your posts soon. I read a few here and there but it looks like there are some great ones in my Google Reader that I never get around to reading!

I do really want to completely organize this blog and maybe give it a fresh design and a proper direction for where I want it to go, but that’s all got to take a back seat in the moment. For now, I’ll be working on building backlinks and creating content while I’m getting ready to move.

Thanks for all your support while I’ve been a bit stressed lately!

This isn’t related to working online, but I thought I’d post a few pics of what I’ve been up to! I’m not a great photographer, but I hope they give you an idea of what I’ve been doing.

For the end of January and beginning of Feb I was in Barbados (though I did a bit of island hopping for one day around the Grenadines!) and last week I went up to the North of England to visit family and try to get a bit of work done at the same time (in between visiting lakes and mountains!). Needless to say I’ve gotten quite behind on everything, catching up with people and so on. So here are some pictures to keep you busy while I get caught up (None of me I’m afraid, I’m camera shy!)

An amazing view across the island.

Some very impressive palm trees!

The view of Union Island from the air.

Beautiful beaches and rough sea on the East Coast.

Walking around a lake back in grey England.

View of a mountain road in the Lake District (this picture doesn't capture how scary some parts were!)

This place (Wastwater Lake) was seriously amazing and my photos can't do it justice.

Only about a week late! I thought it was about time I wrote a quick post. Things have been very busy since I got back home. Between jet lag, getting official notice to move out of the flat within two months and then coming up north to visit family (while still working), I haven’t had too much time to put together a post.

But while I was away I thought a lot about working online, my goals and so on. Eventually I want to re-design and re-brand this blog so it fits in better with my PLR site and so on. It all depends on when I get some time, but I’ll get round to it eventually

Anyway, this is just a post to say hello and thanks for all the comments! Sorry I’ve been so slow at replying or corresponding with anything, but things will settle down soon.

I can’t believe I slacked off so much on the updates here, but it’s been a while since I wrote so I thought I’d put up a short post while I’m at the airport.

My productivity challenge to write 6,000 words a day helped me get a lot more done than I would have otherwise, but it kind of unravelled in the last few days. Instead of writing 6,000 words a day for 11 days, making a total of 66,000 words, I managed to reach around 50,000 so quite far off my goal but still a lot of work to get done.

I came across a couple of problems, mainly trying to get things “just right”. I think we all know that there is no “just right” way of doing things – you need to dive in and continually test what you’re doing and then repeat the things that work. Thankfully I did get out of the fear of getting things wrong and just got on with it.

Anyway, like I said, I’m at the airport. I had the smoothest check-in ever. I was checked in and through security in about 20 minutes. I’ve got another hour and a half and then boarding starts. I’m off to the Caribbean (Barbados) so it’ll be lovely to have some hot weather for a while.

I will have internet access while I’m away, but I’ll try my best not to be online much. Hope you all have a good two weeks and I’ll speak to you when I’m back!
