    There were two wee cats outside my house tonight, maybe they heard I was single… one belongs to one of my neighbours I think but not sure if he’s got two now or if it was just visiting 😂

    Ok in the money making stakes I have picked up an additional 25 hours overtime at old job and 9 training at new job so have more or less reached my target. Too gubbed to do much else😩

    Utterly shattered and I was already doing about 11 hours extra next week before taking on more. Apart from driving my folks and meeting up with a friend one day it’s going to be a hard week, the following one looks more relaxing 😅

    You certainly put the pressure on yourself - but I'm assuming that 11 hours is a shift... I could not work that long on a regular basis. I know the theory is you get used to it but I'm not sure I ever would. Kudos to you.

    Some are 11 hours but they vary SH, this weekend 14, 12 and 10. I have opted to work more days but shorter hours in new job as I am exhausted and I am hoping shorter days will give me a better work/life balance. When I took current job I expected 3x12 hour shifts but it’s usually 4x11…
