Well, first day back in work. Had to make the long commute of 30 seconds to the office (ie back bedroom) but that makes up for the 2 hour journey this afternoon to head to work in Anglesey. The weather is awful and I am really not looking forward to the journey at all. 197 emails:eek: What a nightmare. I managed to shift 100 so far. Stopped for lunch and I am now pondering the Dalai Llama list. I am just finishing my cup of tea then heading back to the long works to do list.

I think that I discovered a new me last week with the challenge thread. I realised that I actually like being at home and in control of my own time. Mmm, something for me to think about. I have always hankered after my own business and toyed with the idea of B&B very often. I might start having a serious think about that. Obviously I would have to combine that with something else but I am sure the ideas will flow now that I have had the LBM.

My personal to do list for this week is a little shorter due to being away from home and having a friend coming to stay so here goes

• daily banking
• source and order 5 fence panels
• arrange for collection of dining table YAY it sold - I took a leaf out of Scrooge's book and put it on for buy
• take Moo to the lodgings for the night
• shopping for fresh vegetables and milk etc
• change the bedding before setting off today
• set out fresh towels
• feed Coco and leave enough food and water for the next day
• source a dog friendly pub to eat in tonight
• buy fence paint
• get the cash from the bank for the gardeners
• try to take some pictures for more ebay items.

This putting things out to the universe is a good thing. I asked for more than I expected for the table and it sold immediately. I have previously put it onto ebay 3 times and it hasnt gotten up anywhere near the reserve price. Must try that one again.

Right back to the grindstone.

Really want to reply, but since i'm actually at work and have spent the last 15 minutes reading your diary, I probably should wait til I get home or else I am very much NOT going to be a money magnet! :rotfl:

Well, back from Anglesey and I am exhausted, as is Moo. I should have been "up and at em" an hour ago but I am still sitting here. Just a quick post then I will take Moo for his daily walk. My friend decided not to come back with me as she was so tired so that means that I am now home alone until 21st. Since moving to Wales I havent made any social friends as I have spent all of my time working. With my OH working away now this has really brought home to me how isolated I am here. So this means that I really must make an effort and start doing something to meet people. The thing is I have always been a fairly quiet person and I dont have a lot of friends as such. The friends that I do have I have made quite by chance but they have become lifelong friends. So I guess in the spirit of MGs thread I should put out to the universe that I would like a new friend.

Anway, I must get on now as I also have to work today. At least I am working from home so that isnt too bad.

Todays to do list

• Fence panels - find and buy
• walk Moo twice
• make a really nice lunch as a special treat to myself
• phone the opticians and ask where my contact lenses are
• continue to resist the shred:rotfl:

Hi Cheery and welcome. Hope you didn't get into trouble. I am trying my best to be positive so thanks for that comment. It helped me this morning when I woke up and thought oh no - another lonely day!

I cant really feel lonely when I am reading all of your diaries. Thanks for sharing and I hope you are enjoying the new car. Did the GPs survive?

I am quite an insular person, quite happy to be pottering about muttering to myself, but every now and then I feel the need to be social, but on my terms IYSWIM. Had experiences of interfering, turn up on your doorstep friends in the past, so I tread carefully in that department.
But I do know what you mean.

Oh wow, somebody who understands. That is exactly why I only have a handful of friends because they are the ones who leave me be when I need time on my own. We are there when we need each other. Trouble is they are now over 200 miles away. My ex MIL had several friends who, when she found herself on her own, took over her life. They thought that they were helping her but in fact they were just railroading her into doing things that she wasnt comfortable with so I know exactly what you mean about being social on your terms.

Well I should have started work by now. I think I am mentally detaching myself from my job. I loved it so much but now it feels like a bit of a chore. I want to just live to live not live to work.

I'm the same. I can never understand people who can't be on their own.

I like the sort of friends who pop in for coffee once in a while completely out of the blue, completely ignore whatever disaster is in progress at the time and most importantly know when to leave. Then there are the friends who phone every couple of months for a quick chat but ask if its a good time rather than launching into a tirade on something in the middle of me attempting to cook dinner.

What really annoys me is the fixed time in a diary friend who needs to see me at a specific time every other day and intrudes on my me time. A dog walking companinon once a fortnight is grreat but every day is a no no.

In fact the best friends of all are those who live 30 minutes plus drive away, who phone before turning up and suggest meeting there and then at a halfway point for a what the heck chat and aren't offended when you can't do it.

I like MSE because I get to ramble on about whatevers going through my mind at whatever time of day it occurs to me. I doubt there are many people about at 5am which is usually when I'm most sociable.

Can't be doing with this going out with the people from work because its Friday night malarky and I avoid staff nights out like the plague.

Ramble over. Off to panic some more about the state of the house before OH returns with the DDs from 5 days away and wonders what the heck I've done with my time .
