Get a grip !

It's worth looking at established man with a van companies, look at the reviews from various sites. We got ours from g-tree and it cost £200, we had a full-size freezer. They dismantled and put back together the bed and put furniture in position.

Took 2 bags of clothes to the charity shop. I always use the same one as I have set up gift aid on the money they get from selling my items. 

Popped into aldee but they didn’t have the dogs peanut butter. Got a top up shop including fruit & mince beef to make burgers & low fat mayo. Haven’t made my own burgers for ages. Total spend £9.57. Remaining in the bank £54.39. All direct debits paid and amounts moved into savings.

I have made lunch for tomorrow and packed up my work equipment ready to go. I mostly drink water at work as we have water coolers. 

I should have enough petrol in the car for the rest of the week. 

I’ve booked a day off in July to meet up for lunch with 2 old friends who I met when I first moved here over 30 years ago. Am really looking forward to it 🤗

Your day off is going to be a good one.

Can’t see the point of today, sat on my own with everyone else either off or wfh. I could have been just as productive if not more so by wfh. Oh well, back again tomorrow. 

Aircon on in the car there & back. Lunch was chicken and peppers in black bean sauce, plus mozzarella sliced & grapes & banana. 

Once I have moved I will no longer be walking the dog in the mornings so I think I will ask to change my hours and do 8 till 2 to try and avoid the traffic. 

Tomorrow’s food & clothes sorted. Will be sliced chicken sausages from the freezer, boiled egg & mayo, grapes & strawberries. 

Had a walk to local shopping centre with no-dogs friend and got us both a cold drink at McD. Total cost £1.98. Foot aching a bit but will do it good to get moving a bit more.

Must be so annoying about work!  Is it possible to have a word with the office manager, surely they know who is going to be there, and who not.  Apart from the time and effort involved in getting there it's not helping the planet (or your purse) to use petrol when it's just as easy to do the job from home.   Mind you common sense seems to be severely lacking in management these days.

Good that you met up with your friend.  XXX

Is that your team or the whole office? It is pretty poor from all points eg morale, ideas, support and use of space.
Proposed hours are good, real work-life balance.

Hope today is better.

Thanks Chrystal & MF. Management are not interested so I will carry on. I will probably be glad to go in during the winter and use their heating 😬

Walked the dog around 7am and it was lovely and cool. Traffic was not as bad today so I was in work 30 mins earlier and managed to miss the rain. Made myself a coffee and chilled for a while. Still seems a long day till 3pm! 

Had a Toby carvery delivered for dinner £11.27. 😋 Remaining in my current account £39.35

Sat on my own for most of the day again yesterday. The days seem so much longer in the office and it’s depressing 😕 Hopefully it will be better next week. 

Took sliced sausage, boiled egg, baby bell cheese, banana, grapes & a pack of curry noodles to work. Was so tired when I got home I had a snooze on the sofa 😴 Then walked the dog again. DS & gf did not finish work until after midnight. Heard them come in even though they were quiet, I didn’t wake up properly but I do still feel tired today. 

Have walked the dog this morning. Sunny morning with a good breeze. One load of washing hung out to dry. Another load on. I am cooking sausages for breakfast and leftovers will be sliced and frozen for work lunches. No other plans so far for the weekend

Are you totally alone or are there other teams? If the former, take a radio in for some background noise.

Rest up and don't do too much.
