hogmaw Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Since our second baby was born and I bought another company this summer it has dawned on me that I have precisely 0 hours a week ME time. Before there would be running, golf, car time and football now there is bugger all. Not a minute which is not taken up by family or work. Even as I write this at 9.30 Sunday evening the baby wants attention. Actually I lie. 2 weeks ago I was allowed out for 30 mins to buy a jumper for the winter.

TonyP Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I'ma single parent so very,very little. Get to go out one night a week and my daughter goes to her mum every other weekend but most of that is taken up with housework I didn't have time to do during the week. Still, I wouldn't have it any other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy07 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Since our second son cam along its the same we get to sit down about 11pm every night and into bed at 12. We both manage to go to the gym 4 times a week and try and have a family day out on a saturday. I wouldnt change it for the world though. Only downside is the supes only been washed once since our youngest son was born 5months ago:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmaw Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Lol people don't even seem to notice this is a thread from 2009 UPDATE I can now report that in the 2 years since I started the thread the ME time has increased by precisely Zero. But in that time I have learned to sneak a few minutes by taking my time to drink coffee in the morning, sitting on the bogs a bit longer, and going to bed later eg like now Edit: Note to Jamie - it DOES get better (a quote someone said to me a couple of years ago I will always remember) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supracars Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I was thinking this the other day, that I have no ME time anymore, I really miss going out on my totally meaningless drives etc. However after reading this thread I do feel a bit better knowing it's just not me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Don't do too bad I made a point of relaxing 7.00 wake up 8.30 have a meeting down the butty wagon and breakfast 9.30 check on staff 9.45 have latte in town 10.00 go into work check post and email 10.30 play on ps3 in cinema room 12.30 have lunch and meeting down butty wagon 13.30 teaching 16.30 finish work and go to the bell for a couple of pints 18.00 get home and have tea and play with daughter 20.00 put daughter to bed 20.30 chat to wife 21.00 game online with mates drinking magners 22.30 grab iPad and surf the net in bed As you can see I have a very hectic life and very little me time though Have you lost any weight Andy? I imagine the only time you break a sweat is when you pick your wallet up? I hardly have any ME time these days. Three kids, Director of a new company, three cars to keep clean and a house that looks like a bomb has hit it most of the time. Did very little over the bank holiday I am proud to announce and I am looking forward to this weekend as I'll do very little again. This week has started with a 150 mile round trip to our office leaving at 7am. Left work at 19.30 and got home at 20.45. Had a beer and watched the match finish and then put the kids to bed. Went to bed myself at about 23.30. I am now wide awake at 05.12 am and have started doing a quote for a customer. I need to be in Huddersfield to do an install at 8am and then see another customer. I imagine I'll get home around 4pm and then start doing quotes and catching up on my admin, expenses, mileage etc. This is a stark contrast to just over a year ago, when I was unemployed and playing COD all day....

shaf Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 since being made redundant, after 10 years, 8 months ago i have every hour of everyday as ME time, its great. my day consists of waking up whenever i feel like checking my emails applying for a few jobs going to the gym going for a drive coming home and checking emails playing ps3 settling down to watch the footy or whatever other sport is on having a late night snack watching a movie and then falling asleep whenever i want getting up the next morning and starting again the perks of being young, free and single....... being in a relationship or having a job just doesnt agree with me anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
