Is the new chippy boss giving you an ultimatum or does he keep saying he only wants you to work for him?

He tells me that he wants me to quit the other chippy so I can be full time and flexible for him. 
I have tried telling him that even if I quit the other one I cannot be fully flexible as I still have commitments with the kids etc but he seems to take no notice.

If it was me I wouldn't be quitting the first chippy. At this time of year when it is likely he will be reducing peoples hours or worse letting staff go. Also he isn't listening to you regarding your other commitments.

Morning all.
It's another hot one today.
I'm not feeling like doing anything at all today really (My anxiety seems off the scale and I can feel my depression starting to creep in) so I'm going to be kind to myself and just have an easy day.

I do have two chippy shifts (at the original chippy) to get through so just hoping it won't be too bad and I can get through the day x

Good morning.

I'm feeling much better today after recognising that I needed to just be kind to myself yesterday and not put any pressure on me.
The chip shop shifts at the original chippy were not too bad either. Things are definitely slowing down now the tourist season is almost to a close so it is much easier and nowhere near as manic as it was when I started which I really needed yesterday. It was exceptionally hot though!!! Fingers crossed for another day like that today and tomorrow (only cooler would be nice!!). 

Our puppy dog ended up at the vets yesterday after eating a raisin which had been squashed into the kitchen floor. I probably over reacted and it ended up with us having a £300 vets bill after having to have an injection to make her sick and some charcol to line her stomach but I would never forgive myself if anything happened to her which I could have prevented. Fingers crossed the insurance will pay out but if not hey some things are more important.

Because of chip shop shifts today (lunchtime and evening) it's going to be another little list from me today so here we go - lets see how much I can achieve today:- 

1. Play on Mistplay - DONE 94 points earnt
2. Make little dinosaur token for Etsy order and post off - made just need to post off  
3. Make scrabble tile frame for Etsy order and allow to dry - DONE  
4. Schedule social media posts for my little business to try and help me be seen more - DONE FB posts schedule and 5 days of Insta as only have free trial account (refuse to pay) so cannot do anymore days than that
5. Comment on in search of posts to hopefully get a few more orders
6. Renew FB Marketplace listings - DONE 22 listings renewed
7. Complete survey and searches on Inbox Pounds  
8. Complete survey on Panelbase
9. Complete survey on Prime Opinions
10. Spend time with daughter before she goes back to Uni 
11. Lunchtime chippy shift (2 hours) - DONE
12. Evening chippy shift (4 hours) - DONE

Glad to hear things are better today.

Morning crafted, I'm glad you you are feeling a little better today. 
Self care is hugely important effortful when you are so busy.
Try to build in self care to your daily plan. I know it's easier said than done. I I need to do this too. Live can be a bit crazy!

Thank you 
So sorry to hear your life can be crazy sometimes too. 
Maybe we can be self care buddies and check in on each other to make sure we are kinder to ourselves.

Good morning.

I'm having another be kind to myself day today so not really planning on achieving much towards my MF journey. 

I have realised that it is puppy dogs birthday on Monday and as I am working all day tomorrow at the new chippy thought that I better go out today and grab her a few little treats to help her celebrate in style. The kids are both happy as they love a trip to B&M and we might even pop into Wilko's as it closes on Thursday to see if they have any of her favourite treats left as well. I'll try not to spend too much but with the kids tagging along I cannot be certain of that!!! 

I've got two chippy shifts again today as well so that will keep me out of mischief for most of the day. 

Here's my little list for today:-

1. Play on Mistplay - DONE 72 points earnt thanks to a 50 point new game bonus
2. Post off dinosaur token for Etsy order made yesterday
3. Comment on in search of posts to hopefully get a few more orders
4. Raise claim with paypal for business software which has stopped working even though lifetime access was included - DONE fingers crossed I get my money back (around £30)
5. Complete survey and searches on Inbox Pounds  
6. Complete survey on Panelbase
7. Complete survey on Prime Opinions
8. Spend time with daughter before she goes back to Uni and son 
9. Lunchtime chippy shift (2 hours) 
10. Evening chippy shift (4 hours)
