    How about inviting some friends round to keep you busy and occupied??!

    In need of direction I was working from 8.15 to 4pm at main job then drove 40 mins home to get to next job to start at 5 till 8.30. Went to morrisons when I finished so didn't get joke till 9.10 and then made dinner hubby was home at 9.30 so all worked out ok.... Spent the last hour lying in a nice jot bath reading a book.

    I am absolutely shattered this week. Tomorrow working during the day will finish at 4.30 then do a bit of shopping and should be home for around 6 then get my dinner and think I will just chill on the couch and catch up on some TV or read some more too tired for much else.

    Saturday am looking forward to a long lie in. Here's hoping I get one!

    Igamogam I can't invite friends round because of the mess :o I don't want people to see how I live :( once the house is tidy then I fully intend to have lots of people round ;) but think it's going to be another few months if not years before am ready for guests lol x

    Well it's been another gambling free day today :j am actually really pleased with myself. Had the night off work and hubby was at work so was worried that temptation may strike but if I'm honest it never even crossed my mind.

    I went and bought some new ribbon today to try different colours for my hair bobbles so have spent tonight sewing them. Made up 3 large ones and 4 sets of pigtail ones took me forever but kept me busy whilst catching up on murder she wrote on the sky planner

    All in all a nice and relaxing night. Am totally done in and struggling to keep my eyes open so am off to bed now be back in the morning.

    So much for my long lie in :( hubby woke me up at 3.40 this morning cause he thought he heard someone hitting out car... Thankfully doesn't look like they did just a couple outside having a rip roaring argument a lot of nasty things being said. He checked this morning before work and looks ok.

    I'm now wide awake and still shattered the weather here isn't too good so apart from a bit of food shopping with mum don't think il be venturing too far away from the couch or my bed :o

    Going to have some breakfast and read a bit of my book before I even think about getting up see if I feel more alive after that.

    Hope everyone has a good day whatever they are doing

    Well the craft fayre today was cancelled due to the weather which means an unexpected day in the house. Been keeping as busy as possible whilst not doing too much!

    Have set up a wee sale on my business Facebook page for 8pm tonight to see if I can sell anything that I was taking to the fayre today.

    I have cleaned the bathroom and put a washing on. Need to empty the machine and put clothes for work on the drier and hope they dry on time for work 2m.

    Am feeling quite down today not sure why but have already had a wee cry:(

    Going to get the washing done then a cup of tea and see how I feel after that

    No gambling yesterday :T so that's one full week now should be feeling happy about that but just feel blah

    Managed to get some dishes done and tidy up my part of the couch so I can relax properly on it!

    Hubby came home and made me a nice dinner am thinking about a nice relaxing bath tonight and starting a new book. It's unbelieveable that although I've hardly done anything today I'm really tired.

    Thanks feeling a bit better today. At work and getting stressed as usual I've yet to master the bit about not caring or worrying about things that aren't my problem. Just get so frustrated working my butt off whilst others don't seem to be bothered!

    Sold £30 of my hair bobbles in my wee sale last night so not a wasted effort getting things made for craft fayre after all.

    Have also taken mince out freezer for tonight's tea hopefully be defrosted in time.

    Working at all 3 jobs today so it's going to be a long one :(

    Will catch up when I get chance
