Adventures of the Boy & Me..

Morning,

I can't believe it's Friday! This week has gone pretty quick.

I'm working a 13.5 hour shift today and to be honest I can't wait for it to be 9pm.

The boy is no longer doing his football tournament. My mum took him last night to be told he is too old for it.. why they tell us two days before I don't know. It's basically because he's in year two at school, even though he's the same age as all the other kids it's apparently done on school year. Why they didn't tell us before I don't know. We have one upset little boy. He doesn't fully understand why he can't play. It's frustrating because he's been to most of the training sessions and we've even paid for him to be in it.. grrr. I knew he'd be moving up groups in September but they told me last week he'd be fine for the tournament. How frustrating.

So at least I have the day off tomorrow and can do a day out with the boy instead. I have a good idea of activities we can do and hopefully we'll have a nice day.

There's nothing going on, money wise the next few days. I've checked all my bank accounts and aligned them all up. I've £190 to last me until the end of the month which is doable.

So apart from that, there isn't much else to report.

I need to phone up payroll at work and check something regarding next week's payday. I have a feeling something may go wrong so I'll phone up and query this today.

I hope everyone has a good day

They are definitely long shifts but I only do one long shift each week.

I've managed to find out what I'll be paid next week so I just need to add everything up and work out a budget now for next month. It's always a relief to see what I'll be paid. I seem to be have been taxed alot more then usual and my pension contributions went up but I guess that's a result of this month.

I'm on my lunch break now and will probably get something from the staff canteen as I'm pretty hungry and woke up alot later this morning and didn't find time to make anything. The meals are pretty cheap here anyway.

Only 9 more hours to go until home time . I need a really good sleep.

Cumbrialass, I was definitely glad to get home. I fell asleep around half ten I was that knackered and forgot to take my medication. Oops . I started to become quite agitated around mid afternoon and could feel myself going really downhill so I took myself out on my break and cleared my head. I seemed to then perk up and my mood started to go higher then usual and then once home I just crashed asleep. The joys of mixed moods.

I need to get into a better routine with my medications once again, I often find I'm forgetting to take them. Naughty me..

I definitely hate the odd numbers and they frustrate me so much, even when the odd pennies are in my separate bank account that I sweep them too.

The plan for today is to get the bus into the town centre, pick up our annual passes and explore the attractions we have here and pretend we are tourists. We will most likely have lunch out somewhere like Mcdonalds and maybe an ice cream. I want the boy to be distracted away from the thoughts of not playing in this tournament. He's still sad and has been asking to change teams.. I've told him we can't do that just because of what's happened and he will be moving up a team in September anyway. I'll see if he continues to enjoy it the next few months and if not then maybe look at an alternative.

I've a rough idea of the budget ahead for next month. I just need to work it out properly.

Morning:D.

So after being out all day yesterday, we finished off the day going food shopping with my mum. How exciting :rotfl: .

I forgot to mention yesterday that my brother had phoned me up asking about prices re television packages and how I managed to get ours so low for what we have :money:.. I tried to explain the best way but he would not listen and was adamant on doing it his own way whereas I was trying to point him in the right directions and to possibly receive cashback.. would he listen? Nope, so I don't know why he asks for help.

Last night I also got talking to someone from my past whom I've never fully moved on from (and I don't think he moved on from me). I just tried to ignore the past and look to the future.

He stated that I never answer things fully or elaborate much on things anymore when we speak.. but what am I suppose to say? In the end we had a pretty long deep conversation trying to figure out what to do with ourselves and what our emotions are to one another. We are still none the clearer.

I know deep down I shouldn't go back there but I think if I don't give it one last try then what if? There's a big back story to our past and a lot of people don't understand.

The short of it is, a few years back I supported him when he was on tour until came back. I guess we became one anothers emotional rock. We spoke and met up regularly and soon became an item enjoying one another's company. I then became ill (mental health wise) and my personality drastically changed and I became a nightmare to deal with. My moods were up and down on a daily basis and I pushed him away and it got to the point I pushed too much and we split up.

We speak on a regular basis but he's away once again for the foreseeable future. I know deep down I shouldn't go back there but I think for my own reassurance I may just see how things go and try to be friends, if something comes of it then fine. If not then at least I know.

I'd like to think I'm more prepared mentally these days and if it does get too much I'm able to walk away with my head held high.

I'm quite content with being single overall and I'm not looking to change that right now.

Anyhow..

My friend has asked me out for tea tonight so we can have a catch up. We'll be going for an Indian which is one of my favourites. I hope to spend no more then £20 and it will do me good to socialise. I've money in the budget to fund this so I mays well enjoy myself. I've become strict with my budget lately but I need to be kinder to myself and have me time.

Overall not much else to report, I've work this morning and finish at 2.30pm.

Have a nice Sunday everyone
