2021 DIARY WEEK THIRTEEN 22nd MAR - 28th MAR

A busy week last time with Cheltenham on and the FA Cup too over the weekend, this week hopefully a bit less hectic and will also be paid for March (Thursday) which will help things a little, hopefully. April begins to loom and as well as Easter we have plenty of birthdays that month, so beginning to plan ahead now while we can. Need a few gifts for Mrs Hughes as her birthday is only couple of weeks away now, with shops closed this isn't going to be as easy as usual, but we will order few bits soon for delivery. Monday lets aim for a better week overall, still plenty of work to do, will also get out today or tomorrow for some supplies as running low on coffee for a start! Yes managed this, lovely sunny day so far, bit fed up but hopefully that will pass and we can try and get back on track this week.

Up in the night once more on Tuesday the early hours so quiet sadly I fail to stick to my plan for the week, and already down £300 which is not cool, no chance of money for April days off now and appears unlikely we are doing much with my time. Crack on with the day and see if you can recover things later on, maybe go out later for lunch, with the gaming session tonight now Vince instead of Richard, we tried to get through and surprised myself that I did sleep reasonable well awake about 7am. Wednesday lost more, sadly, now planning another demo to management for the afternoon, if we survive that we might feel better again. We did 'survive' and should relaunch on Monday next week, didn't sleep again but been paid on Thursday now and while we have once more spoilt things by losing loads again we need to engineer a route through the coming month. Make it through to Friday and try to have a peaceful weekend ahead. Sleep better, rest, go for a walk, just do something better with yourself even though it's rather windy out will be nice to have a stroll, get couple beers or something locally. This weekend is more gaming, blogging - AFC Wimbledon vs Northampton on Saturday and preparing others for the coming week with horse racing on Wednesday (Kempton) and Good Friday's all weather championships at Lingfield. Have a good weekend all. x

2021 DIARY WEEK TWELVE 15th MAR - 21st MAR

Cheltenham NH Festival week is now upon us plus we also going to have our first day off this year on Tuesday as I felt I needed a rest. Added bonus that I can avoid the horrible retro and will instead sit down and enjoy the racing. So let's see how Monday fares this week, and ensure that you are ready with all the blogs needed for the racing and football (Dons + FA Cup too). Sleep was a bit better to begin with and as I have tomorrow off will hopefully be able to relax a while. Update Cheltenham/Kempton blogs today for the early part of the week have already done some of these. Make a plan to go out earlier on Tuesday managed to pick up a few things and get something in for lunch too. Not only Cheltenham on TV today for us to enjoy, later on AFC Wimbledon have another home game against Wigan in the evening (1-1 draw taking us off the bottom spot for the time being) while I will also be joining some friends for some more online gaming too - that was a great night, lots of fun. Important that I've managed to avoid work stuff today and then back at it on Wednesday but still not sleeping great. More Cheltenham today of course, updating the next few days racing too, plus Kempton tonight so very busy, try and do some work too. Football updates for the weekend are also being written up, and we plan the days ahead including some shopping needed on Saturday morning perhaps. Thursday a little sleep and struggled to get up before 9am, no money sadly, need to just limp through as best we can and try to enjoy the racing. Everything has been updated on the other blogs, I got one to publish on Dads site this weekend and we are good for this month. Now begin to look ahead to April. Booked couple of days off in June. See how you get on Friday morning and please enjoy the weekend, it's Jane's 50th so wish her well too. Nice sunny day so far and been out to get few bits for lunch plus the weekend.

2021 DIARY WEEK ELEVEN 8th MAR - 14th MAR

Starting the week needing a trip to Richmond to visit the bank, when that's done I should feel bit better in myself, so get myself out about 10am, catch a train and get this done. Then I can go back to worrying about the Accountancy demo I have to complete on Tuesday morning, if I survive those two encounters then maybe the rest of the week will be comfortable. Monday also topped up £20 to Oyster card which will help me through the coming weeks too, also pick up couple of bits while we are out too. Bank done, got what I needed and home for the afternoon, plenty to do for demo on Tuesday and seems that we are having a week off from the regular gaming nights which is fine as I can get some rest instead. Demo seemed to go off ok, a few issues to raise but should feel better now it's completed, might have to do another though. 

Try and rest tonight, other blogs to update for next week, especially with Cheltenham beginning next Tuesday, for which I have booked the day off. Wimbledon playing tonight at 'home' against Burton Albion so I can follow that game (lost 0-1 poor game) there is no D&D night planned this week till Sunday. Still didn't sleep well, up around 2am Wednesday sadly, feeling rough but as I got plenty done previously can take it a bit easy today, didn't get much rest, and same old story on Thursday morning after very little sleep. Going out bit later for some supplies and lunch will need to try and get some sleep tonight, updating other pages for the weekend racing and football. Feeling a bit down not surprisingly and praying that Friday passes off without too much hassle from people, so I can then rest over the weekend. A quiet weekend in store for me again, been out shopping in the morning but very little else going on of course, though looking forward to a day off Tuesday next week and it's the Cheltenham Festival 2021 till Friday.

2021 DIARY WEEK TEN 1st MAR - 7th MAR

So that's February done with, now we look forward to March. Still got my head down due to the addiction issues you have with gambling, and it's likely you are behind again this month, will have to check that out later this week and correct as necessary. Monday up at 4am, catch up on missed show from last night, then managed to get back off to sleep till later that morning. Didn't begin well enough, sites down, work slow, so caught up on podcasts and shows on the iplayer. 

Updated blogs too for this week, more gaming sessions due on Tuesday although I think we have done our last Sunday one for a while, need to get out on Tuesday too and post birthday card for my nephew and will pick up a few bits and pieces for me to see me through the week, then with about three weeks to go will see if I can sort my money situation too, is causing me some anxiety but I think I can resolve it shortly although clearly I am not learning. Gaming night later on too then try and sleep for Wednesday, check money will be fine, though means will have nothing much for my days off end April, though with the likelihood of nowhere to go shall have to just chill out and maybe plan May / June instead. Had a very quiet day, including a nice lay in for once, replies to Vince about Sunday gaming and then see if you can have a good afternoon including the Kempton races tonight for your weekly blog. Then we hope to sleep well into Thursday morning when I was surprised to get some sleep from about 3am till 8am which was nice, done the morning call and answer a few mails, need to get head down for a short while again and try to get through today. Overall wasn't too bad and we did get out for a few things which helps to see the weekend through. Then it's Friday once more (yippee) trying to get myself ready for a big demo next Tuesday. See the weekend out with more football a 1-1 draw with last min equaliser against Blackpool but no rugby on this weekend while Sunday we starting a new role playing campaign with Vince.
