Week 3 - When it rains, it pours... literally. 🌧️ (Stolen gear, benefit stress & a big win!)

Описание: In this week's update:

The Lenses: I had a heartbreaking setback when the lenses I was planning to buy from my former workplace were stolen. A real blow to the kit bag.

The Red Tape: My benefits got messy, leading to a stressful two days and a much-needed visit to Citizens Advice. It’s a reminder that the admin side of redundancy is no joke!

Birthday Magic: To turn the week around, my Dad kindly bought me a new Canon 85mm lens for my birthday! I can’t wait to get out and test this glass. 📸

The Best News: I managed to buy my work laptop, monitor, and setup for just £100! Such a relief to not have to start from scratch. Huge thanks to my friend at Milborne Port Computers for helping me get it all reset and ready to go.

The Software Shift: Moving away from subscriptions and testing out Affinity and Photomator—finding my new creative flow!

Special Guests: A very funny interruption from my neighbour and a tiny cameo from Booger! 🐾

It’s been a week of highs and lows, but as always, we’re moving forward. Thanks for joining me on this wild ride!

Have you ever had one of those weeks where everything seems to happen at once? Let’s commiserate in the comments! 👇
