    :hello: Hello!

    The kids are at my Mum's overnight :j So rather than the romantic evening I had planned OH has gone for a run :cool:
    I told him not to roll his eyes when he gets home and sees me on the laptop :D

    Just watching the Women's downhill - ouch, so many fallers. Those ladies have nerves of steel - the course looks tougher than the men's! :eek: (though I would love a go ;))

    I did have to laugh at the french lady (Rolland - or "Ro-land" as DH christened her, as she was quite chunky :D) who barely made it out of the start before she fell over. Bless, at least no-one has been hurt.

    Went out for a leaving lunch today, so spent £12 :o I almost bought a lucky dip on my way home as I'm so Pee'd off with work, but resisted :A

    No other money to report. Hope all's well with you :)
  • Evening Mrs :) My husband always does a runner when the kids are away..........

    Have you been out for the old jog recently??

    The old jog! :rotfl: Well..............not really :o:o:o

    I went once at the weekend, then had a bad day on Sunday, so ate loads of rubbish to make myself "feel better" (why??), then felt really sluggish (plus hormonal), so haven't been out.
    Any excuse :cool:

    I did promise myself I'd go this morning. The baby next door woke at 5am and I thought it was one of mine until I remembered they weren't here. Then I couldn't get back to sleep as my head is buzzing about work.

    Think I need to come to some agreement with myself about how I'm going to play it. I love my job and am good at it, but what I am not good at is playing the political game. I hate game playing and BS, but realise it's part and parcel of it - I find that rather depressing.

    Anyway, I'll see how things go over the next month or so. I probably just need to get my head down and lay low. I'm not prepared to kiss *rse to get on, so will have to let my work do the talking....... *sigh - just need that lotto win :cool:*

    Sorry for the rant! Off to get my running gear on :)
  • Well, did you go...........

    With you on the lottery thing - I wish!

    Yep! All thanks to your friendly nudge :A:A:A

    I only went for 30 mins, but I'm happy with that as I feel great now and am more motivated to go out again tomorrow. :j

    This morning I was working and now the girls and I are curled up watching Hannah Montana DVDs - well, they are :cool:

    It's not the best half-term activity, but it's cold and wet outside, so will do for the next hour or so, then we might make some Salt Dough :money:

    :rotfl: DH once joked that I could only run if it was after the cake trolley. Ha Ha! :cool:

    Now I try and imagine I'm running towards a slimmer me :A
  • Hi, well done on the running.

    Politics in work can be such a pain and it's a decision that you have to make for yourself about what works for you.
