Victory - your workplace sounds like a form of living hell! I imagine your stomach must have a bit of a lurch whenever you walk through the door for a shift. I hope the Area Manager comes in and really sorts things out. The manager in your place clearly has no man-management skills, and either needs to be sent on an appropriate course, or should go into a sole-operation role, without responsibility for staff. He's clearly in the wrong job. It sounds as though because he's the qualified pharmacist that qualification gives him the right to lord it over everyone else. No qualification gives a person that right. As for your OH, you know that in a day or so it'll all have blown over and be forgotten by him. Men need to retreat to their caves sometimes, and I swear they have their own TOTM.

Hezza - perhaps you need to stop organising yourself around other people's plans? That is how I tend to do things. For me it isn't about being selfish, but just being able to get properly organised. If I'd made those plans with my son, I think I would have (if practical) stuck to them, and had my time just with him. I'm not sure how old your DD is, so if she isn't able to stay home alone, or with your OH, then fair enough. The point is, that you'd clearly made plans with your son, and promised him some special 1-2-1 time. I have to juggle my plans around 4 children of varying ages, and my OH, but I tend to do what I need to do, I let them know what I'm doing, and if that means they are at a loose end, too bad. I can't please all of them all the time.

Dinah - pity the MRI was postponed, but maybe it was fate so that you found your dress? Where is it ordered from?

Beanie - sorry I rarely buy Andrex, as they don't have the best deals, whereas Kleenex often do their's half-price.

Rosie - good luck, and Day 1 starts here girl!

Vix - at least you are being aware of your PMT, and I think that can be half the battle. I catch myself starting to rev up, or getting grumpier, and do a virtual 'grab myself by the arm' to say 'hang on a minute, what are you doing here?' I am worse now that I don't have to use any contraception, and am now more in tune with my body. It took until I was 40 for me to experience PMT! I have discovered that a way to keep my cool is to give myself some space away from everyone, and if I can't get to be alone I plug in my earphones, put on some favourite music and read a book or magazine. It switches me off long enough to get calmer. A drive in the countryside sounds like another perfect tonic. I love seeing the lambs. We have all that wildlife right by us where I live. Pheasants are a menace on the roads, as are deer and badgers. Badger clearly tastes repulsive, as it's the only roadkill that crows won't eat. Badgers also cannot cross the road, without being killed. We had 10 dead in a halfmile stretch last year. You'd think they'd have seen cousin Billy-Bob laying dead on the road and think 'huh, these car things must kill ya, I'll not bother going over there', but oh no, they obviously think cousin Billy-Bob just got a bit tired after that road crossing.

Still counting calories here, logging every meal, and sticking to plan. TOTM next week, so hoping to get a STS if I carry on being good. I felt hungry yesterday evening, as I'd had h/m sweet n sour for tea, and I think it just triggered the carb monster. Too much sugar to be filling for long.

Oh, and I used foodfocus to log the calories from my KFC. Oh-My-God! I was shocked to discover that 3 small strips of chicken, half a pop-corn chicken pot, a portion of fries, and half a cup of beans was almost 900 calories!!!! I thought I was being rather controlled too (I could have pigged out on so much more). There was a couple sat beside me with a huge bucket of food between the 2 of them, which I would have been too embarrassed to have sat in public eating (I'd have hidden in the car).

Enjoy what remains of the w/end guys - even if, like me, you woke to more flipping snow today.

Scary: I thought i was being half good with my KFC last night but thats exactly what i had. Trouble is that was teamed with toast with anchor spreadable in the morning, and a bacon and mushroom sandwhich for lunch. Oh and a packet of the new werthers original chocolates. Wowee, no wonder im putting a bit of weight on!! Ive been trying not to go on the pill because i really dont like it, but i think im fighting a battle i cant win. Matt will probably leave me if i dont do something about it, must be a barrel of laughs living with a ticking time bomb!
As for pheasents, ive done an emergency stop for one of those, luckily he went back where he came from and didnt go right across the busy road (im a big sucker for animals) Today i was throwing bread out of my bedroom window to a couple of moorhens, ducks and sadly small seagulls whatever they are.

KPC: haha no, they must be a variety of cow because they were black, a bit fluffy and about 5 foot tall, if that because i was on nose level taking pics of them from my car window!

Hezza: No im with you on that one. Im always chief organiser for everything. If i do something, its cos ive organised it. This grates me because im left with the berden of it all, so when people dont show last minute or they drop off like flies it annoys the hell out of me. Then i say, right thats it im not organising anything! So then nothing gets organised and i fancy a night out so i organise it again.

Oh dear Rosie, the thing with ouzo is a couple of drinks in the morning, whether it be coffee or water, but u are instantly drunk again. Done that once, never again

Not been a bad weekend. Had a few drinks on friday, think 2 southern comforts and 3 beers Very good for me Yesterday was out for lunch to an italian restaurant. Not a big fan of Italian, so opted for the grilled fish, unfortunately it came with a few chips and salad, but it was very tasty. Late dinner of chicken salad, and one beer. Never been heard of, one beer for me on a saturday night:rotfl:

Did have a full breakfast today, even though I grilled everything, still not very good for me, but that will be breakfast and lunch, and will have something light for dinner

hezza I have learnt with kids and OH job schedules, plans change all the time and so what I do especially with the young one is think of something to do or go to but not actually tell him, incase it does not happen and he has been looking forward to and I feel then guilty and let him down, my youngest thinks that the idea was on spec and it never is, there has been planning and organization behind it all but the less he knows about it the better and so we all end up in a round about way doing what we all want to do:D

Also do it for OH and myself, if it comes about we will do so and so or have something in mind to do, like this afternoon I wanted to sit and watch the dvd notebook, which is a rarity to have the time to start and finish a dvd in this house but I managed it (I am sure they invented the pause button especially for me:rotfl:) it has been a long time coming but we get there in the end:D

Not given up anything for lent I don't buy into that:D

sary Started to get panic attacks, went to docs for help and ended up walking out because she would not help me, kept looking at the clock and writing on her comp like I was making her late and being an incovenience, all she kept saying was tablets and I had wasted her time as a doc cannot do anything.

My boss said he wants respect but he cannot demand it, has to be earnt, he feels his staff are too 'friendly, chatty and funny' should be more aloof, professional and should give him respect, I always say to my kids you have to earn it, no one just gives it to you, it is a priveledge not a throne title:D

OH is going to fail an annual very important inspection at work tomorrow at 9.30am, no matter how many hours he has put into it all this weekend and for weeks before simply because he is doing 3 mens job as they are off sick etc and his boss has gone mental on him if they fail he will make his life hell, OH knows he will fail and told him so. Stress made him act like a 5 year old this morning, all forgotten now:D

My PMT has me in floods of tears, if someone said hello to me I would cry:rotfl::rotfl:I get so emotional, the news, the dog in the street, a child in a pushchair anything makes me cry, a leaf on a tree,:rotfl:as soon as it is arrived back to normal

Hi there all,
