Update on Maria

Two months ago I put up a blog about my daughter needing to earn 65 Euros quickly. You can read it and the answers here

Anyway if you want the update...

She passed a course to be a referee and now gets paid around 20 Euros per game of 7 a side football for kids and spends Saturday mornings refereeing three games earning herself usually the 65 Euros per week when travel costs are added instead of earning it just once. (Notice to all life coaches out there, she has managed to monetise something she loves doing) This has allowed her to buy a return flight to Asturias for the New Year to visit friends which she has wanted to do for the last three years.

She did some stuff for Steve Hall after his wonderful suggestions and when we had an Ecademy meetup in Valencia last Thursday got paid for that too, thanks Steve.

The suggestions opened her eyes to what is possible so thanks to everyone who contributed, she is now working on some of the other suggestions and thinking of creative ways of accomplishing them. And anyone who has any more ideas feel free to post them in here.

So what's the crack?

Well the crack is in my clavicle. Collarbone to the uninitiated. Broken playing football last Friday losing me a chance to play next week on my birthday against a team of Liverpool veterans led by Ian Rush. Thus is life.

So one finger typing for the next six weeks and lots of pain, difficult washing and Maria having to take on more chores for the foreseeable future. I wonder if she will get used to them and take them on permanently.
