Huh, well, this is cool.

I've started on my tax return (deadline for submission is the 31 January).

I did my income spreadsheet yesterday for my tax year September 2016-August 2017. It covered the period when one of my zero hours jobs suddenly disappeared from the radar. I remember being really stressed out by it, as it was a big part of my income for the year and I absolutely loved that job.

But I finished my spreadsheet yesterday and have done pretty well financially. In fact, it's been my second highest income ever since I became self employed in 2004.

My best ever was the previous year. And I had thought that was a bit of a blip, as I had some good work that was all one off contracts that year.

So, the year that XH left I made a loss - if I remember rightly. And since then I've had my two highest incomes ever, even including the years when I was M. What do you make of that?! lol...

I've been working on 'law of attraction' positive vibes on the work front these part couple of years, and it seems to have worked, big style. So, I'm gonna carry on with that...
