Day 66
Was an awesome day!!! my uncle and his fionce came to visit. we went to our sister pub for a couple catch up drinks and ended up doing a wine club. once we camw back we decided to go to the pub across the street for a meal. when we came home we watched wolf of wall street and loved it! had an amazing time

Day 67
As you could guess i drunk a crazy amount the day before so this was a complete downhill struggle and i felt so hungover. but i battled through it and i slowly got better through the day. the big bonus was i got to go home early. woo hoo. i get paid the following day so i dont have to struggle!
Sam
Day 68
I still feel pretty rough! so im looking to have a couple days of eating well and knocking back water. but im glad it was a pretty straightforward day. I just got paid aswell so its a nice feeling of relief to have some money behind me. i have no intention of spending it on anything else other then food. im going to devon in two weeks to see my family so ill need it for then
Sam
Day 69
So day 1 of two days off. All in all a good day, i traded in my xbox and a few games gaining £60. i completely paid my friend off to the tune of £280 so now i only owe my nan and the bank. long road to financial recovery or what but its my fault so im trying to correct things the best i can. in the evening i helped with our cocktail club and unfortunaly one drink led to many as it always does. but its only because im so short of money that i regret spending it sometimes. though £25 of it was birthday drinks so i should feel good for that

Day 70
second day off of 2. had a huge lay in with a hangover, went to a doctors appointment and went snooker in the evening. really enjoyed snooker and even if we dont have a match next week we will all get together for a practice =)
Sam
Day 71
this wasnt a good day to be. a few things set me into a bad move which i couldnt really get out of. then at the end of the night i felt really flat and depressed. wasnt good at all really! i wont gamble as a result but still i will try my hardest not to slide into depression
Sam
Day 72
had an amazing phone call with mum and explained that if i dont enjoy my next "bar" job. ill probably change career path. i just dont feel i get rewarded or recognised for my hardwork and ill just call it a day after this! felt amazing after this call and it took the pressure off a bit
Sam
Day 73
Wasnt the best day at work, felt like i couldnt do anything right which was frustration. but had a few drinks in the evening and had dinner at the bar managers house. which was a nice lift for me! glad the weekends over!
Sam
Day 74
Was just a normal boring monday though i finished really late as we had a function. just knew this would be a taste of things to come for the next 24 days
Sam
Day 75
This was a bad day to be fair!! I went home feeling worthless to be fair as it was 1am and I had a fallout with a guy on the bar which was addressed at the end. I'm really struggling to enjoy what I do and where I work! It just seems that every day is like this. It has completely crushed my passion for what I do!! But at least after this I had 2 days off
Sam
Day 76
Not gonna lie I had a massive lie in, made a new friend on call of duty 4 and played with him till 5 and then went out for a meal in the evening. The guy I went for dinner with works in our sister pub and he shares the same views as me. He is also at the same stage of life as me as he is reviewing what he wants to do with his life. He doesn't want to work all the long hours and late nights as he is in a relationship with a great girl. I came away feeling pretty good and with my made up! My next step is going to be my last attempt to make this particular career path work. No matter where I work no matter how high end it is I still have the same d**n problems. I put loads of effort and passion into my bartending and it just gets crushed because no one else cares!
Sam
Day 77
Had another lie in and tidied through the house. in the evening i played snooker for 6 hours! loved every minute of it! played well and went to bed a happy man!
Sam
Day 78
It's tough writing these when on my work days I never have anything positive to put. I've pretty much decided that I'm moving to eastbourne sooner than later. I made a phone call to my mates and they said it was better if I moved up there early as I would be bar manager in the new restaurant. Happy days!
Day 79
had the morning off so i went for a wetherspoons breakfast with my mate which is always good. the evening at work went well considering the large amount of covers we had in. yet we all got a negative email from our bar manager at the end of the day for our bad personal negative attitudes on the bar! what a joke! anyway im going to eastbourne on wednesday to meet the owners of my friends new restaurant. lets hope i can sort things from there !
