Well, after the trauma of oversleeping yesterday and blowing the whole day as a result I'm using today to catch up a little bit.

I've definately got the wifes flu, bubbling up under the surface, so I've doubled my vitamin intake, and up to yet, the tablets here are doing an admirable job. can't afford to be off work sick!

Finished nightshift this morning at 7am, got home at 8,got the daughter and one of her friends on a sleepover, and the wifes at work doing overtime.

Talking about overtime, I've worked out that to balance my books this year I've got to earn an extra £39.93 a day for the next year - 365 days- to get the income in I need. £39.93 doesn't sound a lot, if you say it quickly does it?

To start things off, I've just managed to secure 3 overtime shifts this month, which gives me an extra £240.00. Thats only another £997.83 to earn then to balance this months figures up.

I'm still juggling this months finances to even things up a bit. I've delayed paying BT until next payday, so I'm going to use that cash on the mortgage instead. I reckon I thought about the mortgage payment 10-15 times last night when I was at work. My hardest part yesterday was telling my wife I couldn't meet this months full mortgage payment.

And yesterdays mortgage increase means the monthly bill's going to increase by about £16-18 - so my figures Thursday are already out of date.

On the positive side, I'm moving my retail website domain to my American servers - I think there's enough room on them to host it-bearing in mind the retail site is about 1,000 web pages (maybe more) all designed by me, by hand, as a web designer, and his wages, are totally out of the question at the moment. Running the 3 sites together on one server is going to save me £20.00 monthly, so thats another £5 weekly I don't have to earn.

On the positive side, my stomachs behaving itself, probably because I've had two days when I haven't eaten much at all through the tirednes, oversleeping and general hassle. My black moods are only lasting an hour or so - if I keep my brain and body active it tends to stop the negative thoughts creeping in - most of the time anyway. So, being busy, I've got the excuse to stay in today.

Especially as my first overtime shift starts at 7am tomorrow. 22 hours off to change from nights to days. My body clocks going to be totally shot by the end of this month.

Until tomorrow.

Paul
