Buying bread. Its not sexy. No one’s ever going to make a film about (well, possibly Ken Loach). There will be no telethon. Jean Claude Van Damme isn’t going to be sweating and flexing over my weekly wholemeal.
For someone like me, too ill to work and, for the moment, forbidden from even making the attempt lest it delay my recovery or - heaven forbid - make me worse, life can be kinda boring. Stuck inside all day, wondering if this hour will I have enough energy to refill my water bottle and go to the toilet? Luckily, the Internet was born. Amazingly it hasn’t collapsed under the shear mass of porn - yet - so there are still some useful sites around.
PayPerPost is one of these sites. Strangely enough, they pay people to post (that’s “write an entry in a public online journal known as a blog” for anyone born before 1987). Most of the time the advertisers are looking to create a buzz about a product or buy some blog reviews.
With whatever money that doesn’t go to the supermarket I’ll be saving up for my driving test, and to have a little seed money for a couple of month’s time when I hope to be able to start a little bit of work again.
Exciting huh? Told you there wouldn’t be a telethon. But maybe, just maybe, a light at the end of the tunnel.
