If last week was difficult this week feel a little more settled, organised and even peaceful.
Will be paid on Friday, and just about have enough to get me through the week, so that's one thing that will help me out. Monday and Tuesday seemed to be ok, had a good chat with my older brother as well and some emails about trips away with friends, while all that is later in the year we will at least be able to look into some plans and how to get down to Swanage, hopefully via Lee and Joanne near Bournemouth.
Not much else to report as we muddled through the week at work ok, and now to look ahead to what is coming up. Looks like the move to London is at least another month away which is good, after Easter will be fine, and another month to try and get myself in better shape. Picking up a couple new shirts would be a good goal this month then new trousers and belt next month and we have plenty of other things saved in my wish list too. Maybe look out for something for me for my birthday which will be coming up in a couple of months. Picked up a few quid on Friday night which will let me get through the month this time around and that's great try and get some peace in this week too.
Mum's birthday would have been on Sunday so aiming to get down the crematorium too. Love you mum, miss ya always xx
This week started awfully at work, some cock up with one of the sites and the credit card payments not working and i just made it worse. Ok so no one died, it worked out all fine in the end but I felt terrible for couple of days while trying to cope with everything else being thrown at me. The regular chaos on the train doesn't help and regularly getting in late, and leaving late doesn't help, although it's not as though I have anything planned to do when I get home other than write and procrastinate so will just leave when I need to and get over it. Nothing really happening this week, getting some cards in to cover birthdays then trying to work out a way to get through next month and go out with Graham for Cheltenham.
One more week till paid again. Still nothing forthcoming about the move and costs either, although mid march has been suggested there is nothing formally announced. In the meantime I do feel as though I am plodding on one day at a time.
Will see what the next week brings, at least looking ahead to pay day and then a few weeks till Cheltenham.
This week will be spent thinking about my Dad who would have been 84 on Wednesday (7th Feb). The words Happy Birthday have a difficult meaning for me as I find it hard to be happy about someone I still love and miss so much yet it's a time when I will focus more on what he means to me even now some years after he passed. Struggled through the early part of the week, feeling very low most of Wednesday.
Not really in the mood to write anymore this week, will probably have a few days off from this and try and just survive the week.
End of the week we have a couple more to get through till paid and we still don't have a definite date for the office move to Blackfriars, what we do know is it won't be before mid March and hopefully it will be after Easter. We have a lot to do before the move, and still not really sure about what it will be like but I can (I think) manage the cost although some assistance would be welcome it appears not to be forthcoming. Additionally I need to get a couple more white shirts, another pair of dark trousers later and couple of ties, maybe clip on ones.
This weekend is another round in the Six Nations rugby and England vs Wales at Twickenham should be a blast, while AFC Wimbledon are at home to fellow strugglers Northampton Town. After losing midweek to Bury the Dons really need a win here others we are back in the drop zone and the season has only a few months left but we failed again and another defeat to a team in the drop zone losing 3-1 is very poor and saddening, where is the fight?
OH MY GOD! WHEN WILL I EVER LEARN.
Blew £1600+ on the weekend, was up, down, little to show again this month and as the time moves on I have no idea what I am doing or if I will survive the next twelve months. All this talk of a time for change and really I am not changing anything with the exception of stressing more, drinking less and eating terribly. So what can I realistically change this week? Well one thing that I've been doing is getting up earlier and trying for the earlier bus/train which will come in useful once we are in London as I will need to be on my way in the morning and not be late.
This week is also about eating better, I've kept to the salads and soups at work also the evenings I've not been eating as much mainly because I've not been out food shopping so only picking up few bits at lunchtime and if possible a few on way home from work. Having very little money is another reason but the fridge is nearly empty, as is the freezer. Soups to the rescue so far, get some more pasta and veg in and create a few portions to see me through the week.
Looking forward to the weekend which culminate with the Superbowl LII on Sunday night, all being well I can stay awake and enjoy it. Don't have a specific interest in either side and New England Patriots will be the favourites but anything can happen on any given Sunday!
