Definitely that 😉

I think when you stop working for a while before going to bed it definitely helps. When I was setting up this site (ironically) I'd struggle to sleep if I went straight to bed as my mind would still be whirling with ideas and I'd be worrying about forgetting them. Just processing everything I had done would keep me awake.
I work from home by myself so understand all too well the distractions there are! At least people that work away from home have the separation between professional life and home life – more difficult for us!
Do you work in a separate room from the normal living areas of your home? I think it can help. Start forcing yourself to shut down that computer at least an hour before bed. Give yourself some rules, and stick by them. Remember – you're the boss. You need to boss yourself around a bit more!!

I think there needs to be a 'Singles Day'. I remember watching an episode of The Apprentice in the UK once and the challenge was to come up for a new occasional day for a greetings card company. One of the teams had the great idea of having a Singles Day – a day to celebrate being single.
I thought it was a brilliant idea. Maybe someone needs to start a movement. There's a lot to celebrate in being single – none of which is recognised at this time of the year!!

Blimey, it doesn't rain but it pours, eh? It's good to vent; I bet you feel a tiny bit better just getting it all out!
Have you considered raising your prices to help reduce your workload without losing money? I think a lot of freelance writers undervalue themselves and charge less than they could. That might be something worth considering. Also, maybe you could be more selective with the kind of work you take on? Maybe only write about topics that are more interesting, or on subjects that you're more passionate about?
Don't even get me started on banks – they're worse than estate agents! You deserve some downtime on Thursday – look forward to it, and don't feel guilty about it.

Thanks for sharing – did you arrive at this routine through trial and error, or was it advice taken from elsewhere?
'mspeekay' wrote on '09:Yes, if I do follow a routine then I do sleep better. A big part of it is to stop working at least an hour before I go to bed. At the moment I'm not doing that…
Naughty!! I am going out on a limb here – are you a procrastinator by any chance? I am one of the world's worst! Anything else in your (planned or real) sleep routine that you can share with us?

I don't know if I'll ever respond. In a way, I resent him for even sending the message – I guess I used the fact he never tried to get in touch to give me a reason not to bother trying to find him. The way I see it, he decided to leave and not try to get in touch – and things were simple. Him sending me that message kind of put the ball back into my court.
It's confusing, that's for sure. I got that message about 2 years ago and haven't responded. At the end of the day, that man is just a stranger – he could be any man on the street. I now live in a different country. It sounds heartless, but do I really need to know this person?

That really is very sad, Franky. I hope at least his last words were somewhat of a comfort – both to you, and to his parents.

I think anyone that's a parent will find it impossible to declare that to be a life changing experience!
Wow, Lindsay – that must have been a shock. How did you react to the news? Did you reply? Was your Dad alive to speak to about the letter (and the story it contained)? My real Dad left when I was about 2 years old. Never heard from him again, apart from in 2008 when he sent me a message on a site similar to Facebook in the UK. To this day, I haven't responded. Like you, I wonder if I have any other siblings out there!
emmaree – I would love to visit Singapore; you are quite the world citizen, aren't ya?!

kind words indeed 🙂
Moved here to be closer to Sue's family we thought the kids needed to see more of their grandparents, Sue is from here originally so it just made more sense. I must admit to missing the Borders we lived miles out in the countryside and just had to step out of the front door and we were there. Although we live in a small village now its not quite the same still have to drive to get to the moors, the hills a smaller here too, its more bleak than breathtaking, still wouldn't go back to Scotland though.
Are you near the coast? I think the coastal scenery in the South West is nothing but breathtaking!

Thanks for introducing yourself Mike – and your intro was FAR from boring; I thought it was very interesting and really insightful.
What was the reason for your move from the Borders to the West Country? That's quite a move! It's a beautiful part of the country, though – my Mum lives in Cornwall.
I'm sure you have lots more to share with us and I look forward to getting to know you better though your contributions to the community.

Sounds stressful to me! I can imagine that kids certainly hamper Valentine's Day celebrations – even more so when there is a birthday to contend with as well!

I like a bit of everything, too. I guess my favourite genre would have to be funk, though! I love to listen to Traxx Funk on iTunes Radio – I'd recommend it (if you're into that kind of sound)!

It's really good for if you get bored easily or always have to be doing something with your hands. I'm trying to make a beanie with space invaders on it but the gauge is so small it's taking me aeons. Good fun though!
You'll have to post some of your photos for us to see – we'd love that 🙂
