Plans for Lincoln Christmas Market are coming together, although it won’t be discussed until another LAN meeting is organised, and considering most people seem busy re-enrolling for MAs etc, that won’t be until after my stint on the plinth.
After much pondering how best to make a banner of my work for my time on the plinth (I plan to exhibit some work from my degree show in the form of a banner) I have managed to upload an updated version onto Redbubble, where I have bought my own poster to use as a banner.
I’m pleased to have started to receive support from fellow plinthers.

But I’ve just received an email to say that I won’t receive the bursary for the LAN this month until next month, so now I’m facing having to use my overdraft against my will to cover the costs and then reimburse them when the bursary comes through. I hate this, I hate it. I was adamant not to use my overdraft any more for Christmas – was brought up to believe never a borrower or lender be, but University and being a lone parent means that that’s all I can do to survive – no one will give me a paid job, there aren’t enough paid jobs out there, not to say I’m not making any effort to apply for them – one of the reasons I’m going on this plinth is because I originally applied for a job for SkyArts and didn’t get it, so I figured I may as well take advantage of being a plinther – I hope this will bring work my way. Still not received the bursary for House Of Bling.
