I'd second the cleaners @dustydigger perhaps after @RobM99 'so idea of the tidy up. But whatever happens it will pass and you've got a decent score in already this month so don't beat yourself up about it if a drink helps you cope. 🤗
I'm pleased you're doing the charity gig instead @RobM99. You're much too famous to be messed about like that. 😁

@dustydigger, also a plus vote from me re the idea of getting in cleaners, I did recently, not something I do often but they did a great job and it makes a huge difference, and if your back's really bad you've got every justification.4

I would also recommend cleaners. A while back I was a quite low and my house got in a bit of a state. Once it gets to a certain point it all becomes too overwhelming; you don't know where to start so it just keeps on getting worse and you don't invite anyone in. I had cleaners in for a one off deep clean. Two energetic young women managed in about four hours to do what I couldn't. It was well worth the money and I have managed (more or less) to keep on top of things.
Target day 25/25 for me today please cathybird. Thank you. X4 -

Hmm... having trouble with the 'quote'....
It's not about the band's reputation at all, we're far from famous! It's the fact that over a series of changes, we were moved from the prime spot of the festival 2:00 PM on the Sunday (two hour set) on the mainstage to noon on the Monday on the B stage - one hour set. The justification was, we'd get "exposure." To whom exactly? I very much doubt there will be many people there at noon on a Monday. I think the promoter was using us as a convenience. And then for another band to tell us, "you can't do those songs because we're doing them, and we take priority". Well, that's just not the way you treat people. They justify it by the fact that they've got more equipment than us. Well, bully for you. You've now got the chance to use it! Maybe we should've gone on stage first and played all their songs. Ha!!
And to set the record straight, the venue manager got back to us and said he was more than frustrated at the way he was being treated also, with these repeated changes of everything.
Anyway, back to the thread. It's 25 from 34 me today. Yay!
@dustydigger let us know about the cleaners!
Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!3 -
