    Morning

    Well I'm in work, feeling pretty ropey today, am sooo tired... am hoping it is the early signs of being pregnant, but I doubt it,more likely to be the carb free eating!!

    Reeally don't want to be in work today, just want to be curled up in bed!! Am so busy too.

    Well I hope you are all having better days.

    Oh dear diet has failed, someone has just bought in chocolate and shortbread, my two biggest weaknesses!!!! ok start again tomorrow, don't know if I can do the carb free thing, was craving my porridge and brown bread sandwich... going to work out how much fat and calories my usual meals are and try and get them down to a decent amount.

    Don't deprive yourself missy, just try and cut down (listen to me who ate half a box of maltesers last night), porridge is good for you, fills you up.

    Missy, try this: grade an apple and put some cinnamon on it. It's healthy and satisfies the craving.

    oooh might have a look at doing that... peaches and necterines satisfy the sweet craving too, I just dont have any.

    Really want to go home as OH goes away tomorrow, would love to be spending some time with him, but hey ho am at stinky work instead!!!

    Really need to have a look at my OU stuff tonight, might save it til tomorrow though so I can spend the evening with OH.

    I'm sooo looking forward to the weekend, so that I can sort the housework the house is a right mess at the moment, and I need to sort my finances out, really need to build my credit rating and list on ebay.

    Oooh nearly time to go home!

    Another day another dollar, Well have gone back to healthy eating rather than carb free, I felt rubbish on it and it's quite expensive... I'm doing more Old style eating. OH went this morning :(, am a bit sad to be honest, he's been home for so long.... but will fill my time by looking for MS ideas on here and reading diaries :D as if I need an excuse.

    oooooh I am soooo excited we got one of our wedding presents yesterday...... and it was a Kitchenaid Artisan mixer... I know it is really sad to be so excited about it but I have wanted one for years and I have never been able to afford one, as they are stupidly expensive but we have a lovely new shiny black one!!!!! I can't wait to use it!!!
