  • I'm soldiering on today,

    It's not that bad actually, but it has blistered and they keep on bursting, so feeling a bit soggy:p . I've not been very good food wise but I think that is allowed just now because of my state of illness (bad excuse I know). I am still the same weight, 11st 4lbs, so at least I'm not putting weight on.

    Hiya Lynn soooooo sorry to hear about rash. sounds nasty, if they are bursting, be very careful with them. You should maybe pop to docs, even just to see the nurse. Well done with the maintain. fab :T

  • the OH is interested to a point bless him :heartpuls but having always been a slim jim doesnt really understand how hard it is - 'just eat less'!! True of course but if only it was actually as simple as that haha!

    I am soo with you on that one. That used to be my OH,s attitude. Just don't eat it. DOH I never knew thats what I had to do, just not eat it !!! Well the worm turned and he packed in smoking 4 year ago and put on 1stone and 4lbs :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :j :T :j :rotfl: :j I got such a kick out of that. when he started having too cut down. Even with his weight gain he is, no where near fat, but is compared to what he was, he devastated. Serves him right I say. Sooo not nice of me (but feels real good).

  • There was a wee bit of a silver lining, I have another interview next Monday, 8th September, surely I will get one of these jobs!! I certainly hope so, I'm fed up filling applications out!!

    I am sure you will. You will bowl them over. Its hard work I know and its just human nature to build your hopes up. What kind of job is this interview for ?
