WEEK FORTY THREE 22/10 -- 28/10

Having been paid now for this month I have at least survived another month and almost another year. These next few weeks are going to the tricky though, will I at least have some funds to get by each day and will be planning on getting by without needing anything else. Well fat chance of that mate cos in a few days you buggered that all up badly. Now you screwed for next month too and with Xmas closing in I doubt you even going to be able to afford to send cards let alone get presents or anyone. At the moment I have a couple of birthdays coming up and as always I try to send my friends children a nice card, message and a little money even though I have none left for me. It is almost my only redeeming feature that I do this.

The weekend has plenty of sporting events to follow, AFC Wimbledon will be away to Peterborough on Saturday seeking to continue their recent good run of form, which they did although the 1-0 away win was not indicative of the dominance by Wimbledon who now find themselves in the play off places. On Sunday the NFL are back in town only this time it's at Twickenham Stadium where the New York Giants take on the Los Angeles Rams at the home of Rugby.

Still got this cold and cough and its another thing that's pissing me off, a slightly shorter week for me as I am off work Friday, if only I could remember what I booked the day off for but I think it's just going to be a lazy day, a visit to the Crematorium and probably just some food shopping in for the weekend. It would have been (step mum) Christine's birthday on Wednesday and I think Pam would have wanted to do something but I am in no state to do so sadly, I hope she manages something though. 


Anticipate and avoid overload.

Plan ahead to avoid “commitment collision.” As you decide what you can and can’t take on, think ahead to everything that you’ll be responsible for.
• If you’re in charge of the school fundraising event, don’t schedule a visit from your parents at the same time. Plan another time for a visit.
• Revisit your schedule regularly. Think ahead about your long-term schedule to make sure commitments aren’t on a collision course.
• Don’t wait until you’re in crisis mode to look for help.
• Learn to say “no” when you can’t honour a request and find realistic solutions that work for everyone.
