Yep, I feel like I need a breather today. Working mainly from home does get to me , Im not sure if others feel the same or if its just me ! I find alot of people dont take it seriously that I do work albeit at home and Im constantly being asked when am I finally going to go back to work. The thing is I have never stopped. Even my MIL asks the question as she says its Mr Pinots business and I do a little bit of typing for him now and then ! :mad::mad::mad: If only she knew how condesending she sounds and how much I really do do !! Oooh now Im on a roll.....................................best I stop !!

There is noone available to have the girls this evening, or who would tackle the challenge ,with a houseful of DD1s friends as well I'm afraid !

A friend has just called and asked me to meet her for lunch for an hour today , so I will do that, it will be nice to see another adult rather than just the children.......... as much as I love them of course......a change is always good !!!

Today I am neither smug, frugal or clutter free. I am bored, fed up and having a minor sulk !!!

I want to go back working in the industry I used to, which has absolutely nothing to do with what we do now. Easier said than done when you have been working in entirely different industry for 14 years. Theres lots of work out there, the pays not great , but hey ho, but its the hours that are the problem. Weekends, evenings, bank holidays. I am unsure how on earth I could even contemplate it with Mr Pinot not being here weekends, evenings or bank holidays. How would I sort out the girls without them suffering and who would run my end of the Business while I galivant off to selfishly do something I want to do ?!!

I think this one will have to be a pipe dream.

There's nothing wrong with a dream or a sulk, enjoy both!

You'd be miserable if you had to leave the girls for any length of time, worried and miserable. Therefore, you wouldn't enjoy going back to your other career yet. When they're older you can do it, but for now just dream....

Email from clothes for cash has jsut arrived, they are giving me £10.20 for my latest sack of clothing with 1kg unacceptable. They were things that would never have sold on ebay so Im happy with that, and I didnt have to take it to the tip either ! . Thats £20 from them in the last two weeks to add to the pot. A few ebay items ending over the weekend so hopefully there will be a small amount from those as well .

Every penny helps.

Glad youre a bit happier mrs x

Mrs PG! Wow, so close to £20k paid off! I like the sound of this cash for clothes lark. I've got loads of perfectly good stuff that I know I won't wear again. Off to Google for a look me thinks...

Glad to hear you managed to quickly pull yourself out from the little low. Nothing beats a boozy lunch with a friend (booze optional of course) ;-)

I'm working from home today too - but I LOVE it! Get sooo much more done without the distractions of being in a busy office, though I would probably go a bit stir crazy if I had to do it all the time. Well, I should say 'even more crazy' haha.

Just had a look. There is a cash for clothes store in town. Right, I'm off to have a clear out...

PS I love working from home ;-)

Hi PG, I am in the same boat, working from home, which apparently isnt like "real" work even though I make more money

Still expected to do the errands, banking, post officing, await tesco deliveries blah blah blah
