    I too find weekends difficult, or should I say I have started to find them difficult again...

    From experience I would say that it is probably partly down to you not working Bat, but also as Richard has touched on if you're are working somewhere where you get no satisfaction in the future, it will invariably be a poison chalice... dying to get back to work only to realise that it wasn't what you expected... ie a crap job, no sense of teamwork or reciprocated enthusiasm, maybe you (not you personally, but you, me, anybody) are lacking the enthusiasm yourself because of the said working environment that you enter into, or things that are not right in your life, I would advise people to look at this and consider making changes for the better...

    I know exactly what I need to do, and that is broadly, do things that I enjoy in work and in life, speak my mind when a situation requires it, or when people are not giving me what I need and things will fall into place... If I get a crap job, try to change that crap job, if I want to go into business, go to college... can't because of family life or finances, set goals or long term goals that will enable you to bring about the opportunity for change... feel overwhelmed by the possibilities? Take one step at a time! All a lot easier said than done I know, but the rewards are worth the effort.

    Also to appreciate the little things, and be glad for simply being alive, but the ability to do this is usually blocked when I get down (which I have been-ish for a few weeks now :o). Do things that you enjoy... I like painting (I'm pretty bad at it though :D), I haven't done any for 3 months now, but for all that time I have been thinking oh, I should have a paint, but don't, I wallow in self-pity... Old habits can be hard to break :rolleyes:

    One of the most important things is too have people in your life who love and care for you, want the best for you etc... and try not to invest your time into situations where you get no return... what's the point?

    Again, all easier said than done, as I am struggling to apply some changes in my own life, or should I say to stay on my 'chosen-route' but will hopefully get back on track soon? If you can surround yourself with positive people... and aspire to better things... Absolutely no snobbery intended at all! As an example, if the sum total of friends desires are to get hammered down the pub all weekend, only to be back at the grindstone Monday morning, well that's up to them... but what a total waste of time! I'm talking from my own point of view here and I'm not judging anybody... also these realisations have taken years to sink in.

    I better stop typing, and really this post has been for my own benefit as well as anybody elses. I'm not trying to be self-righteous either, just that things don't have to be crap, we all have a choice...

    All the Best :)

    Are you reading my mind.I could'nt have put it better.

    Yep, I'm slightly mad too... Isn't it great! :j

    I'm currently sitting in front of the computer, with a knitting needle up each nostril, repeating the word 'wibble'... :D Sorry, bit of a Blackadder thing :rolleyes:

    edit: Your formula sounds good to me too dez-titute :)

    I just wanted to say I'm sorry you're going through a rough patch at the moment and that hopefully things will start to look a bit better soon.

    Just a thought, if it brings a lump to your throat does that mean I'm doing it wrong?!! :eek: :eek:

    Absolutely fantastic posts given already, I would just like to say that I hope you manage to regain that Friday feeling :beer:

    All my weekend consists of now is having a moping husband, staring at his Garden wondering whether to plant anything or sob into his Lettuce leaves... muttering about what things he is going to take 'if' we lose the house.

    It is so sad how we place so much emphasis on material things.. I would live in a Caravan in a muddy field with my small children.. and love every minute of it :D
    :cool:
