Ok so here’s how things go with me. I have no will power to say no to things, it’s a common known fact throughout the volunteering word that no doesn’t come into our vocabulary. So tonight I have the Senior Section girls over for their meeting we do a heck of a lot of paperwork, I finally go about doing the accounts for the girls so the parents have a copy of what they owe and don’t owe etc. Simples but then it comes to activities with the girls etc and I somehow agree to take them to Big Gig which is a concert for Girl Guides aged 10 plus, I am also taking them on an in4mer training weekend where they will learn to be peer educators so up to now I have two weekends in just as many months taken up next year. I don’t need credit and this isn’t what this blog is about by any means I do it because overall I do like to do it. So that’s that, then next week I arranged that we would go for a McDonalds after we all take the Brownies and Guides to the Cinema which is fine and agreed, then I realise I forgot that we had arranged to go to the Christmas Markets, so there I go again and slot in one of my few days off this week to take them to that. Then we decide that we will still have our regular meeting on the Wednesday.
So there are 3 more days, crazy right?
I don’t know how it happens honestly I don’t that in one single 2 hour meeting I have given away 8 days of my spare time from work, how crazy is that? I dread to think if I was one of those crazy volunteers who takes on even more responsibility (yes they exist trust me!)
So to sum up I am sat with a bunch of paperwork in front of me including common wealth award things, accounts and money details, receipts from the girls that need to be put against their monthly subs and wondering how 8 more additional days just got added to my schedule *Falls asleep on the living room floor in pre-emptive exhaustion)
Ah well another random ramble over, G’nite tinternet folk!
