2019 DIARY WEEK THIRTY FOUR 19th AUG -- 25th AUG

This week will be fine when we get to the end of it, as we'll have been paid, and hopefully we can have a little money to see myself get out and about on the Bank Holiday Monday. Written up other blogs and trying to be good but sometimes it's not easy, Monday was fine, bearable, though breakfast was a bit rank. Still this situation does mean I can think about booking days off for rest of the year and I'll have Mon/Tue to consider so we can chill and have a few short weeks before the year is up. 

No Jenny on Monday which was a shame, always nice to see her in, Vikrant back and I don't know why but a little irritating still he's new, we shall find something to get him busy. Made updates to my Kempton Blog for the Wednesday and ready with some for the weekend too. Tuesday I really didn't enjoy in the office, was trying to keep myself to myself and avoid others which didn't really work, at least I've money to get through and picked some bits up this week so we will get to Friday I think just about. 

Need to give Graham another call on Wednesday and see if he's free this weekend either Saturday or next week, can get a train over to Egham and see them. Sunday will be quiet as no trains so just get shopping, some beers and rest. Thing is that life changes day by day for me and as a result of some stupid decisions I really don't think I'll make it out this weekend at all. Down about £150 and if I can scrape that together I will get by with NOTHING for the month ahead. Also need to end the cycle of debt and living one month at a time and this has to start changing NOW. 
So sorry Graham, I do love you all but right now I simply cannot contemplate doing anything, and being social is the last thing on my mind right now.

2019 DIARY WEEK THIRTY THREE 12th AUG -- 18th AUG

Another week of turmoil and angst no question, one that must be survived with the minimum of fuss. How was Monday then? Apart from breakfast being late and disappointing it was fine in the end. Am prepared for our retro meeting on Tuesday (be good to get that out the way) and of course get to see the lovely Jenny in the office too. The opening few days though of this week is the same story of lack of sleep, trying to cope and having no money, still one day at a time and we'll get there....where "there" is exactly.

At least I've booked a few days leave for the coming months so next try and plan out some activities for these, rather than doing nothing with them. The first of these is the 11th September (Wednesday) which gives us a few weeks to have a think about it. Before then we have a bank holiday weekend but will discuss that next time. 
Week has passed by uneventfully so far, at least we surviving money wise and will have enough to get to payday next Friday. This weekend will be a quiet one for me, the Dons drew 1-1 against Accrington so I might give some trains a run around perhaps and have written up about events coming up in the next week or two.

2019 DIARY WEEK THIRTY TWO 5th AUG -- 11th AUG

This week, need to get through as usual, and we also have a couple of days off on Tuesday and Wednesday yet with no money available I really do not know what I will be doing. Hopefully I can at least get out on one of them, maybe Kingston and sit by river or go to Richmond and spend a bit of time on the green, however if Monday is anything to go by it's raining and might not be very nice outside. Written up other blogs and trying to keep busy, as I have no funds decided to stop in on Tuesday and will see about nipping out on Wednesday instead. Still cannot understand why I booked these day off though maybe I had a plan to go to Brighton which is on Wednesday? Didn't turn out to be the best of days but then I've also had worse. 

Back to the office for Thursday and Friday, now need to have a very peaceful week ahead. Money is a problem for a bit longer yet let's try and take our mind off it for a while. Have updated all the blogs for August and it's only the first week of it so well ahead, am looking at cataloguing my trains and will start with the N Gauge that I've accumulated recently. 
Try to remember to give Graham a call on the weekend but otherwise this is a very long week and will be pleased to see the month out eventually, think I can survive as long as there are no further drama's.

2019 DIARY WEEK THIRTY ONE 29th JULY -- 4th AUG

A busy week for the blogs as we have racing from both GOODWOOD starting on Tuesday and over the Irish sea from GALWAY where racing will be all week long following the fortunes of Dermot Weld and JP O'Brien. If we can do that without losing all your money as usual it will be a nice result for a change. The week begins with a return to work on Monday, usually not a great occasion but at least we might nab some breakfast and also see Jenny today which is always a treat. Am struggling to rest at night and been up in the early hours trying to pass the time. Really must call Graham too and see if he's enjoyed Goodwood probably on Sunday afternoon. Tuesday was a little better in that we clawed back a bit of what we had lost up to then, and we have a little bit on Wednesday to play up so there's a small chance we can get something going to use next Tuesday and Wednesday when we have a couple of days off. 

The racing at Galway and Goodwood continue all week, not great results so far, but hey it's just a bit of fun. At one point we we looking better but that didn't last long and now we still £70 a drift and having to deposit some funds by the weekend just to cover myself. 
Not good at all. Trying to look forwards now, a couple of days off next week but that will be very hard to go out and do very much, even so we can go to Richmond and sit on the green or down by the river?
