gday @Former-Member @Zoe7 @Sam3 @TAB and others here

[Zoe7]

Hi @MDT How is your day shaping up? I am of course still doing garage sorting - it is such a big job but will be worth it in the end to have it all finally done.

[TAB]

Hi @MDT nothing much on here today. I'll settle for a steadying day. What are you up to today? I just went for a walk, that's probably me for today lol, well beats last few days

[MDT]

All the best with the garage @Zoe7 it must be looking good after all this time and work you put into it

@TAB Just working on applications and googling stuff

I have a phone interview this afternoon for a company that does placements in pubs and hotels in the UK. I have decided this will be my backup plan.

[TAB]

fair enough @MDT

[Zoe7]

There is still a lot that is stacked outside of the garage that needs to be moved back in as well as stuff stacked inside the garage. Today I start to put things on the shelves and sorting out the damaged stuff and stuff I can through out as I go. I am going to watch the tennis this morning first then get stuck into it before the next game this afternoon I want to watch @MDT. I'll do a list as I go of things that need replacing - mostly those that have rusted or been damaged by water in the flooding. I have already replaced some of my tools but need to check a few more when I can get into them.

Your backup plan is a good one - it will give you work while looking for something else as well if that is what you want to do. Working in hotels and pubs you will get to meet a lot of people too and that will be good for you too.

I am feeling anti social today though @Zoe7
Just over it. Time to unplug I think.

I can ask all these questions during the interview

[MDT]

Speak later today

Morning @MDT@Zoe7@TAB@Shaz51@Mum & anyone else passing through the forum discussion. 

All the very best with your phone interview today @MDT. Good idea to have a quiet day beforehand with maybe some activity/music you like. 

@Zoe7 Go girl! 

Ive got Dr appointment in an hour & job applications to think about along with kids who need entertaining. Feeling a bit overwhelmed & sad today but plenty of “good facts” to hold onto 

[Zoe7]

I hope your drs appointment goes okay @Sam3 then you can get stuck into those job applications. It is always good to hold on to as many positives in your day as you can - it doesn't mean there won't still be the negatives but shifting your focus to concentrating on the positives can make us feel a little better - hope that works for you too Hon.

I am watching the tennis this morning and will get back into the garage after the match - might need a nap too as I am feeling quite tired - think that is because of how much I have done over the last few days but I can't do a rest day just yet - need to get it all done.
