Hi all,
Sunday is nearly over again, sigh.................. Just done the usual, away for breakfast as Emmy told you all, how predictable am I!!:p
Then took mum and sister shopping, didn't make it to my inlaws today, will go next week and will call her tomorrow or something. Then spoke to DH on the phone, it is like talking to Norman Collier (comedian from the olden days) for those of you that don't know!! The phone line is terrible!!!
I've got another interview tomorrow night at 7pm so will need to prepare for that, and I've another 2 applications to do, so will get them done in the shop tomorrow.
I should hear about my other job on Tuesday, fingers crossed!!!
Brother got out of the hospital yesterday, so he seems to be fine, he will just need to look after himself a bit more. Poorly is doing well too, he has got his room all ready, the carpet goes down on Tuesday and he'll get his bed and stuff moved in after that. He's away to a meeting tonight with his friend so far so good!!
The old peg leg is getting there it's healing up now, thank goodness. I've had a look round the site today and might join the live on £4k a year challenge next year, I'll read through the thread and see if I think I could manage it. I cadge enough food, so I think I could go for it!!:rotfl:
Speak to you all later,

Hi all, been away so not had chance to post and at work on thurs and friday the message posting button wouldnt work!
anyway, after my weigh in on thurs i was determined to do well.... but fell off the wagon already!! Grr! Was at a friends last night and had a few drinks which always makes me hungry and any thoughts of diet go to pot! And then today was recovery day which led me to lunch in mcd's!!! Very very naughty! So, I need to sort out my bedtime routine, get everything ready for work tomorrow, then get an early night and get up for an early run!!! Wish me luck!!!
and congrats on all the small steps being made here guys!'What doesnt kill me only makes me stronger'Official DFW Member #1036 - Proud to be dealing with my debtsKeep Calm and Carry On0 -
freeme - lol at mcds for recover, i despise that place lol i think it would aid me to being sick haha, but hey different strokes for different folks.
Lynne - glad everythings looking up for everyoneand lol @ the cadging enough food off people to do the 4k a yr thing! Im sure some people up the limit though if they think they need a little more so you could always look at your outgoings and if you didnt think you could do 4k, you could always set yourself a target of 5k? Still bloody amazing!
Wanttobeasaver - does this mean we should tell you off if we see u on here lol? Although im actually a believe that the odd distraction on a forum or msn is good for productivity as it stops you getting too bored
I did 30 mins of Davina today in the end - woo, would have done an hour but DD woke up and so had to get her.. shes not very fond of letting me exercise when she is around lol. Still a bit achey and sore but ah well. Just made a batch of flap jacks - wooops haha, but they smell so good! cant wait till they cool down enough to eat!!!
Looking fwd to my walk to uni tomorrowthink im getting picked up though as we do have stuff to do in the city anyways. Ah well 2 miles is better than none (even if its not as good as 4 lol)

Doing fine Emmy,
I wonder what this week will bring, hopefully the shop will be busier today, I've had 2 or 3 customers already, so you never know. Another interview tonight, so I'll need to prepare for it!! I hope Jo is okay, I seen that the weather was really bad in her part of the world.
Will check in later,

Morning!
I'v had a busy weekend at work, been editing a department showreel which is good experience but unpaid, so I'm a bit grouchy cos I don't feel like I'v had a weekend! but nevermind...
I've been a bit naughty food wise but not as bad as I could have been so i'm still quite positive about it, going for my weigh-in at lunch, I really hope it's a loss, no matter how small!
I went to a pole dancing lesson yesterday (not seedy I promise!) which has made me so sore!! It was a good work out and I hope it improves my upper body strength but I can't spin round properly as my flabby skin sticks to the pole instead! very annoying!!!
Bathgatebuyer, I had a whole mental picture of you being some kind of property designer/restorer buying fancy old gates in Bath!!
Wanttobe, you have a candle business, how cool! do you make them or package them or umm something else??
Well done on resisting those work cupboards Jo! I'm sorry to hear about your upset over your waist but at least you know and are now determined to change it, oo but don't stress about trying to change it before your holiday missy, just enjoy that and come back all refreshed and focused! xx

ooooh pole dancing lessons sound fun! Id love to go for one! But A nobody to go with and B dont think id be happy in a pair of shorts or whatever u wear for lessons lol, my legs are too massive.
lynne - heres hoping for lots of customers this week0 -
Don't let that stop you! I went on my own and was the only one there! the teacher (a friend of a friend) put an advert in the local newspaper but it didn't go in as early as it was supposed to so I ending up having a private lesson! which was good cos I was terriable so it would have been embarrasing! but very tiring! There will probably be more people next week and the week after though. I didn't like wearing shorts either but I decided not to let that stop me having fun, I am trying to grow a thicker skin!0

haha bonus for you on the private lesson! Glad you enjoyed it. Perhaps when im a few more lbs down, ill rope somebody into going with me some time0

Nothing so glamorous I'm afraid! I do have a degree in Property though even if I haven't actually been out on-site for about 7 weeks nowIn my dream career I would have been a physiotherapist specialising in sports injuries and injured rugby players (specialising in thigh strains).
Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!0
