Hello

Sorry no post from me yesterday. I'll be honest my mental health took a turn yesterday and I was not in a good place so I just spent the day making some cards and trying to get my head back where it should be.
Working at the chippy didn't really help either as the boss has certainly gone back to his old ways so today I will be having a long hard think about whether I really want to be there or not.  

I'm feeling much better today though and have a day off from work work so am hoping to plough through a list and achieve lots  

So today I WILL:-

1. Play on Mistplay (126 points target) - 2 points so far 
2. Watch videos on WeR8 - still none available 
3. Print, cut and post plantable business cards - printed and cut - now just to post off  
4. Invoice sticker order - DONE fingers crossed she pays soon  
5. Look for a higher rate savings account
6. Look into small claims proceedings for Council who are refusing responsibility for pothole damage to car
7. Design more cardmaking sheets to sell
8. Comment on in search of posts to hopefully get some more orders 
9. Post in two FB groups to improve my visibility
10. Write and schedule posts for my business page on social media
11. Complete one course from my membership
12. Check free postcode lottery, winadinner and freemoji - DONE not a winner  
13. Complete Prime Opinion survey
14. List something on FB Marketplace
15. Enjoy a long walk with doggo - DONE a long walk around our village with hubby and doggo and it was lovely
16. Meal plan for rest of the week
17. Check hubbies Lidl app and activate his coupons so he saves money on his daily food shops
18. Look for missing library books
19. Look for beast quest books listed on FB and cannot find as somebody wants to buy them
20. NSD - failed popped into Morrisons on way back from picking up son and got salt and pepper bread, corned beef pasties and some belly pork bites - yum yum and just what I needed to cheer myself up

Have a talk with the Chippy boss, tell him you are not his punch bag, he either needs to mend his ways immediately or you walk. You could do this face to face, text, email, WhatsApp, what ever works best for you.

Thanks Baileys - I know I have to have it out with him. I just have to pluck up the courage first

Morning all.
Well today was meant to be another day off for me but instead I have been called into both the Cafe and Burger King so I have a pretty full day ahead. Hubby also has his leaving do tonight so I have to take him to that in between shifts and pick him up at midnight tonight No rest for the wicked! At least our daughters shift has been cancelled so I have not got to squeeze in taking and picking her up as well or I might have run out of hours in the day! 

Although I will basically be busy from 9.30am - 10pm tonight I am still hoping I can achieve a few little bits to help us on our mortgage free hike so I'm going to add a list and pray that I find a few pockets of time to cross a few bits off  

So today I HOPE I will find time to:-

1. Play on Mistplay (126 points target) - 2 points so far 
2. Watch videos on WeR8 - still none available
3. Post off plantable business cards - DONE  
4. Print stickers for FB order
5. Look for a higher rate savings account - done all the research now got two to choose from  
6. Comment on in search of posts to hopefully get some more orders - commented on two posts  
7. Post in two FB groups to improve my visibility
8. Write and schedule posts for my business page on social media
9. Complete one course from my membership
10. Check free postcode lottery, winadinner and freemoji - DONE not a winner  
11. Complete Prime Opinion survey
12. List something on FB Marketplace
13. Meal plan for rest of the week
14. Check hubbies Lidl app and activate his coupons so he saves money on his daily food shops
15. Cafe shift (7 hours) - DONE
16. Burger King Shift (2 hours) - DONE ended up being 3 hours  
17. NSD - DONE

Your list is very ambitious, bearing in mind you are working 9 hours, being Hubby's taxi and won't get to bed til gone midnight.

What are your priorities?

You were very right Baileys. I was far too ambitious. The things I had to focus on (work shifts, NSD and getting the order posted off) I did at least achieve

I'm feeling shattered this morning so glad I only have a 3 and a half hour shift at the cafe today. Burger King asked me to come in but I managed to say no so I'm feeling a little bit proud of myself as no is not often in my vocabulary

Hello, not been around much lately as been on holiday. 
Popping in to say well done on saying no to the extra shift. It can be really hard to say no. I do too! Im to much of a people pleaser! But setting boundaries is helpful and will hopefully stop you over giving.
Well done xx

Ps did that sound patronising?
 I didn't mean it too
Love flowers x
