    Afternoon/Evening?

    So.. im sick sick sick of seeing clutter everywhere its honestly doing my head in and weighing me down.. I see it and i think why can't I just put it away? So going forward im going to force myself to put it away. I dont enjoy cleaning at all but I think its not the "cleaning" it's the finding a place to put stuff that I dont enjoy..

    Morning!

    Was woken up by my dog at 1am barking because it was too warm for him in the bedroom, so I grabbed my pillow and off we went downstairs.. he was led like a little frog with all his legs sprawled out and I went back to sleep for a few hours on the sofa.

    My manager wants to speak to me today, hes doing interviews for that job I told him I wasn't really interested in. I have a 1-1 meeting with him at 2pm, ive got an inkling he wants to talk about the job more in debth and see if he can persuade me to take the role.. im open minded about it, ill see what he has to say.

    Debt wise, anything I make on vinted goes straight to my loan now! Im thinking of maybe chasing out my surveys at the end of each month paying towards a debt and then starting again on a fresh month.

    Working this weekend until 12pm, usually sooner if im done quicker, last time I was finished by 10.30 but maybe due to the weather ill come in at 5.30 tomorrow so it doesnt get too hot by the time I have to lumber around all the discs and car batteries!

    Weekend as follows,

    Saturday 12pm boot sale and 2pm boot sale

    Sunday 7.30 (maybe) 10 and then 12! When all the boot sales are on i basically never get a chance to fully "rest"
