I'm still marketing the business – I've opened up an ebay shop and a shop on IMM as well. I'll concentrate on getting both shops up and running over the next few weeks.

I'm aiming to start working the markets next month, having built up stocks of my books and stuff this month.

I'm practicing dealing with the unexpected - which goes some way to explaining why I was stuck in the Ladies loos this afternoon at work. My office had run out of paper towels, and having worked out how to open the dispenser, I elected to raid some from the ladies loos, as ladies tend to have loads of everything in their toilets don't they? Only problem was that the paper towel dispenser in the ladies opens differently, and it took me ages to work out to open it to get the towels. I guess I was stuck in the ladies for about 20 minutes! Good job it's a quiet Sunday day shift!

And I've shored up my back garden fence ready for the promised gales tonight!

I'm trying to deal with my extreme shortage of time. Yesterday, for example, I was up at 5am, after another disturbed nights sleep, left home for work at 6.15, getting there for 7am. After the 12 hour day shift, I got home at 7.45pm. After a quick cup of tea, I filled the car up with rubbish from the back garden so I could dump it in the skip at work, then shored up the back garden fence. After having my tea afterwards (about half eight!) I went through the s*it, shower, shave and shampoo routine to save doing it this morning, did my pack up as well, and went to bed at half ten. At least I know where my time goes - I just need 28 hours in a day, not 24!

And todays going to be much the same almost, except for the fact that my shift's have changed to nights tomorrow through unforeseen circumstances so that gives me a bit more time tonight. Not much more though. But at least I haven't got to get up at 5am tomorrow.

I shall work through my business and life plans next weekend when I'm off and go from there. Until then, I'm just going to keep on keeping on. I know I'm almost £600 short in my wages this month to meet all the bills I'm expected to pay this month. And it'll be worse next month when the new council tax bill drops through the letterbox. I'm still paying off last years at the moment. And the car tax is due next month as well.

I cannot be satisfied with my life until all the bills are paid on time, every month, and I can become the recluse I urgently need to be and work from home all the time. If I came home tonight, knowing that I would not be stepping outside the front door again, for anything, for the next five years, (when I'd review it) I'd be really happy and glad that my life was, again, coming back under my control.

And those two options alone are the only things driving me forward. I know I'm sad, but I can't help feeling the way I do. You see, this is the way I've felt for years.
