    Still feeling a bit hit for six. Antibiotics are huge and it's TOTM too. The joys! Have done very little of my challenges this week due to the lurgy but need to be kind to myself. If I do too much it will take me ages to feel better so really need to start afresh from Monday I think.

    Did buy a Xmas present for my friends wee lamb which is super cute and am about to bake some cakes before bed!

    Thanks lovey and I'll pop this on yours and Lula's diaries too but I saw this quote in a book last night and thought of you two. 'A girl shuld be two things, classy and fabulous'. It's from Chanel, and I think she might be right!!!!

    Having a right lazy day today. Still in PJ's but I need it after all my running about and still knackered by my antibiotics.

    This week I have done very little towards my goals due to feeling carp but have achieved the following towards goals:
    1. Bought 2 Xmas presents, 1 for my sis and 1 for my friends wee boy.
    2. Baked cupcakes for my team. Going to meal plan later.
    3. Bought a swimsuit but not used it yet!!!!
    5. Sent a few emails re the business and got some dates in the diary for a styling sesh in December.

    So not too bad considering!

    Hey y'all,

    Enjoying a cuppa and the Apprentice.

    Not doing very well with my challenges, especially the exercise one i.e I've done nowt! I had a lot of social things planned in before I decided to do this and I just can't fit it all in. I'm off next week though so hopefully can start swimming then.

    Have sent a few emails re my business and hoping to do a bit more of that soon. Taking MG out soon (had to postphone the last visit) and got another MSE lady booked in for December.

    Trying to stop eating a load of old rubbish after last weeks carp fest so dug some of Weezl's cheap and lovely hummus from the freezer, popped a few chilli flakes on it and spread it on some oatcakes. Need to do something, out yet again tomorrow for pizza!!! Going out with my old boss this time, she's lovely and sure it will be great fun.

    Working Friday and Saturday and then off for a week. Feel like I need it though work is going well. Got lots of plans for my week off, find it hard to do nothing as I'm sure you know by now but do want to do some relaxing/lazing about.

    Need to have another early night and STILL not meal planned for the month. Just rolling along with what I've got for now but managing to eat well and have made soup and a sausage casserole so far. Cupboards are packed but don't have much fresh stuff in. Still loads of budget left for groceries...brilliant!

    Hey lovely ladies. i'm now off on hols for a week so am chilling watching the box with a glass of vino. Need the break! OOh celebrity Juice is about to start. Anyway...had a lovely night with the boss but had a right junk food fest yesterday as I was hungover. I'm talking bacon roll and tattie scone, dirty Pot Noodle the lot!!! In last night and tonight festering on the sofa. Out tomorrow with bro's godmother (like family) for a spot of lunch and a vino or two. Hopefully my gay hubbie will join us at some point too. Monday I have a FWB visiting and have a catch up with a mate and maybe a bit of Xmas shopping to do at the beginning of the week. Mid week I'm going to Mum and Dads and gay hubbie is down for lunch on Friday. On Saturday i am meeting a very fabulous, glam friend for a fancy lunch, Sunday I'm having the boys round and that, give or take is my week off!!! Also need to do some cleaning and a good bit of lazing...oh and start excercising as i am a lazy biatch! Thought about going today but the pool would have been full of screaming weans and i'm not up for that. Best get to bed X

    Well having a lovely week off and lots of fun. Swam on Monday which I really enjoyed and saw my FWB which was ace as always and then did not a thing yesterday as I was hungover. Going to tidy up and pack for Mum and Dads now and then nip into town to get some Xmas shopping. Know what I'm getting most folk except my brother who I called last night and told to get his thinking head on as on Xmas morning I can't give him a carrier bag of 'I don't need anything' or 'I'm not sure really'!!!! He has promised to check out a few sites and get back to me at the weekend but is notoriously disorganised and not at all materialistic so we'll see. Nice to have some time to potter and even squeezed in a coffee date with a silver fox on Monday. It's all good. X
