OK, so I'm loving the initial comment from my first donor. Lets be clear here, I don't really expect to reach the goal but wouldn't it be amazing if I did? I'm hoping people will see the fun of this idea as well as the genuine benefit to Lizzy Face, but we need some rules....so here they are:
The Blog
The Blog
- The blog will be updated a minimum of twice a week
- There will be no blogging at weekends or evenings unless something exciting or unusual happens - this is my time with Lizzy Face, and that is the whole point of this venture
- There will be no real names, main or recurring characters will get a nickname but beware, they could be 'killed off' at any time so don't get attached (I'm worse than George RR Martin)
- Any comments and suggestions will be considered and may change the direction of the blog
- The goal is 40K, but we keep whatever we raise
- If we reach the goal I will work my notice and then take a year off to spend with Lizzy Face and to retrain in whatever the public decide
- Lizzy Face will continue to go to nursery part time
- If (as we expect) we don't reach the goal any money donated will go into a savings account for Lizzy Face
The Job Nomination
Anyone who donates £20 or over qualifies to suggest a new job/sector for me to retrain in, but these must fulfill the following:
- The job at the end would result in regular 'normal' or consultative hours (i.e. making my own hours) - the point is to be present as a parent
- It must pay an equal or better salary than I am on now
- Suggestions will go into the chart and can be voted for by blog readers (or donors if you like a current suggestions)
- It must be (at least vaguely) realistic
- I will commit to at least 1 year in the new industry after retraining unless I am unable to find or keep a position
So that's it, let's just have fun with this guys and see what happens. My fate is in your hands so make sure to post and re-post this blog on Facebook and twitter - we need the big bucks if you want to have a hand in destiny!
Until next time my blogtastic chums....
