    What a week - so glad it's the weekend :rolleyes:

    Work has been manic again, the event I was working on went really well and the team got loads of praise so I was really pleased :D but I am shattered too :rolleyes:

    I am getting nowhere with my boss :mad: It seems like a constant battle, he will not get me the help I need to cut down my workload, he just wants to take parts of my job away from me - all the bits I love :mad: Not really sure to where to go from here - I think I may have to start looking for something else but I am really reluctant to do so as I love my job :confused:

    Not much else to report! I have managed to lose a couple of pounds, probably more by accisdent tham design :o but weightloss is weightloss! Obviously, I haven't managed any exercise, domestic stuff or socialising so I have all those on my agenda this weekend :D

    Hello & welcome back to your diary :D

    Really pleased for you that the event was a success :j. Sorry to hear that the boss is not being very helpful, is there anyone else you could possible ask to help out with certain tasks ?

    Great news on the weight loss too & like you say, doesnt really matter how it came about as long as it wasnt through starving yourself.

    I'm being all domestic today, although somewhat reluctantly & mainly because my sis is coming over tomorrow :rolleyes:

    Try to get some you-time in as well.

    Bye for now

    Hi

    I returned my top to Kookai and have bought bargainious (sp) peep toe shoe boots from Bertie - reduced to £32.50 :j

    Also got some new (and needed) makeup with Boots points, and got some 3 for 2's on M&S food to last until Wednesday - so a good trip all round :D

    Have eaten well today, going on mini blitz as I am out for my birthday next weekend - and then off to Spain :j so want to be good this week

    Have also caught up will all my texts and emails - so my friends all know I'm still alive :o

    Have lots of domestic stuff to do tomorrow so X and early night for me :D

    Not really, I report directly to a Director so it would all get very messy if. for instance, I spoke to HR. At the moment I am just going to get through the week and a half until my hols and then see how I feel after that. Sadly, I may end up having to look for something else :mad:

    Am up stupidly early (for a Sunday!) so I need to make it a productive day! I'm not doing a list - they demotivate me :mad: but I know what needs doing so will be back later with a 'done' list :D

    You are up early!! :eek: Lists are good if you have time and motivation to complete them, but make you feel rubbish if you've been rushed all day yet nothing's got done.

  • Hi show gal i was just thinking its nearly a year for your diary now.:T.
    I had trouble with my boss so i had a meeting with her and expressed my concerns and gave examples and luckily it was sorted it took a lot of gts though but just thought my family count on me to work and it spurred me on.x

    Didn't get much more done - apart from a sensible Asda shop and put petrol in my car (saving the mad Monday morning dash :o)

    Treated myself to a sunbed too, ready for my hols :D


    Plans for this week;
    • sensible working hours
    • eat well
    • exercise
    • early nights
    • lose 2lbs
    Need to have a bit of a 'detox' week after the hectic last few weeks - and make myself more of a priority :mad:

    Also need to do some domestic stuff - so I am challenging myself to clean a room and clear out a drawer everyday :rolleyes:

    And to make it a low spend week - no nights out planned so shouldn't need to spend much. Am doing OKish so far this month so would like to make an overpayment at the end of the month - haven't managed it the last couple of months :o
