Saturday Soiree - 2nd August 2025

Hey, thanks so much. How do you regulate yourself morning after the nightmares?

Sun helps me too. Its too windy and cold where I am to enjoy being outside today.

To stay well I usually exercise fairly intensly 5 days a week, eat healthy whole food diet (limited caffeine, sugar and refined foods) and cuddle my dogs, partner and teens, if they let me. Recently Ive had a chest infection Im at the tail end of, so exercise, which is my main outlet, has been limited. I did do x3 less intense workouts this week tho, so happy to be slowing getting back into it.

Id like to get back into journalling. It helps.

What do others do?

Ive worked PT, 20-25hrs for the last 18 years whilst raising kids and studying. I mostly worked for myself because I feel more in control that way and flexibility of hours, etc. Ive never earnt enough to pay my HECS off, so have to go back to FT work to pay it off and its worrying me how Ill cope. How do others cope?!

I have started a new job at 20hrs and been doing that for 2mths. The owner is asking me to move to FT now and I knew that was always the plan, but its still freaking me out.

@TheMooge hiya! Little tip - if you want other members to be notified that you've responded, you can tag them - use the @ symbol and a drop down will appear, and you can choose their name. If their name isn't there, you can type it out and it should then appear for you to select, then it will show up in blue, like this: @j2mhall @Till23 @Shaz51

Also @j2mhall that sounds so scary! Is this a new experience for you?
