2017 PART FORTY SEVEN 18/11 -- 24/11

A week that was all about survival till pay day, and we managed it (Just about) now we start to look ahead towards December and Christmas. The countdown to Christmas is well underway, at work we have a daily countdown until we are going to put up our tree plus decorations and then another countdown till the big day itself. Though not really into the festivities and hype of Christmas I am feeling a bit better about it and will soon have the first cards sent off to Australia for Sister and family as it's also their birthdays. 

Followed Wimbledon playing away at Bristol Rovers on Saturday and a good result for the Dons winning 3-1 at a side we usually struggle against. This has pulled us out of the bottom four and we go again on Saturday against Walsall but before then had another game away against Oldham on Tuesday night which ended in a drab 0-0 draw and meant that The Dons lay in 19th place in the table. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Mr Vincent Hughes, 48 years young on Tuesday 21st and hope you enjoyed your special day my friend and the hilarious birthday card I sent you, which also included a reminder for the Lads Xmas Do which is happening next week. Looking forward to that night out next week on Friday 1st, we've got Dave down from Newcastle and Jason up from Exeter again so I've got the half day off and we'll go out to meet Dave in the afternoon to start the fun early. 


At least I was able to look forward to some time off at the end of this week, using up some of the final annual leave I still had for this year although not going to be doing very much with it so just going to chill out at home and begin to start sorting out bills and advances to get back on track for the rest of the year. 

Find something to do with the days off, no money for Thursday but go out somewhere Friday once paid.

Turn off your mobile phone.

Mobile phones are a great way to keep in touch with colleagues, customers and the people you care about. For your own sense of peace and well-being it’s important to know when to turn off your mobile phone:
• Turn it off when you are having a conversation with someone in person.
• Turn it off when you are with friends and relatives so that you can be fully present. That makes others feel good.
• Turn it off for some time each day so that you have “down time” -- quality time when you’re not working and when you can’t be interrupted by a ringing phone.
