51 hours - and feeling it!

**mum2two** · 14-03-2008, 04:04 PM

Well, last week I started with 3 new mindees, (I'm now completely chocca!!), and my working week has shot up from about 33-35 hrs to 51 hours now...

And boy am I feeling tired!!

I haven't had chance to get on here & catch up with posts - let alone post anything myself... But they wanted to watch Cars after school today, (agreed to on Weds), so I've got 5 kids happily sat quietly watching it, and DD in her room playing the ds!!

So glad it's Friday

I rememeber those good old bad old days when I used to do that! Much richer but really really tired. Good on you, but don't overdo it and try to put your feet up at the weekend!

Sounds like you deserve a break... hope it lasts long enough for a cuppa!

Leisurley... Dh got a bike rack today, & wants to go for a bike ride tomorrow, and on Sun he's doing the 6 mile sport relief run, so I'm going to watch him & my brother do that & he very kindly volunteered me to cook a roast for them, & family, (8 in total!) in the evening.

What a lovely relaxing weekend...?!?! But I kind of finish in Weds next week. I have my friends little girl on Thurs am, but I'm going into town as I need to get some bits, so not too bad. DD, DS, and the girl I look after are going to a friends for an egg hunt after school, so tidy house! Body shop pamper party, & some wine in the evening, and then off to Devon for the long weekend on Friday!!

So roll on Next Weds night!!!

Wow

Feeling sorry for you! Hope you have a semi - relaxing weekend although doesn't sound like it. Maybe being with your own family etc will make it seem a little more relaxing (but if it's anything like my daughter no way - she is on the go constantly).

Have a good break though - it's what you need and deserve!!

Oh poor you I used to work those sorts of hours, but it was'nt till I cut back did I realise how shattered and run down I had become. It is so difficult getting the balance right in this job. I now work max 4 days per week, and finacially not any worse off, I have been trying to do this for years , but it could all change next week

**tinkerbell_85** · 16-03-2008, 05:27 PM

51 hours!!! not surprised you are feeling it!

I can't imagine doing that many hours when i'm reg but it will probably sneak up on me!

enjoy your long weekend coming up xxx
