One thing I must do tonight before I go in is my expenses.

Right I'm back....thanks Maz for taking over the 'nagging of bookie' mantle while I was off on my travels today.....

Bookie I am emailing you something that you need to listen to (instead of reading it!)

Maybe you filled your life previously with 'stuff' to stop you thinking about missing things in your life.....and now you have little Samuel that kind of 'stuff' doesn't take priority anymore...well thats okay - just rearrange your priorities.......not a crime.

Really - delegate up! If your 'boss' has only just got up at 11.08 one of you has their priorities wrong and it isn't you...

My lecture over....

God im tired...DH is out again tonight so another early night I think then I am going running in the morning

Bookie, if you won't miss it give the brownies up. You, your health and your business are more important at the minute...my sister was a samaritan volunteer and took a sabbatical (her health would have suffered if she hadn't)

I have to agree with Sammy, if you are starting to resent the amount of time it takes out of your life eventually it will bring you down and you won't enjoy it at all. Could you say take 3-6 months off, get other bits in your life organised/sorted and then you will be able to refocus your time...or you may realise you don't want to go back to it!

To have some guilt free free time. At the moment every time I stop I feel guilty.

yep, that's me 100% I never used to be like this but it is something that is a hangover from what I went through with Cruella.

Maz -it's upside down writing

It's the 2 County jobs that are bringing me down. 1 would be fine.
I just hate to quit when I only have a year left to do before I revert back to just Brownies.

Its not about quitting Bookie it's about your sanity. Ok so you continue to carry on as you have been, your get even more stressed and one thing leads to another. Maybe your business suffers, your don't have any money coming in, your personal finances get worse. You have to think about it selfishly and do whats best for you though!

My 'boss' hasn't AIM'd or spoken to me today. She will probably tell me off tonight for putting things on FB where people can see and making her worried. :eek:

bookseller1980

You all speak such sense but I hate admitting failure. I tried to cut down last autumn and 'things were going to change' but they never did.
The other side of the coin is that she is a lovely lady. She will be helping me stock take next week.
