SF's keeping on the straight and narrow!

Things have been sorted at school re: mentoring but it was my head of department's last day today! :eek: So, it'll be interesting from now on. I have to rise to the challenge, I can do this, I just have to believe in myself.

Another NSD too, which is good baby steps.

Well, yesterday was a good day. I was on a course and given a lovely lunch. Then met up with my head of department and had coffee and she paid! So it was an unexpected nsd number 20 yesterday.

Today I'm getting my hair cut - the first time in 6 months! :eek: I have vouchers, so it won't cost me anything either Need to get other bits and bobs though, so it won't be a nsd today.

Had a lovely weekend at mum's got my hair cut and bought a new dress in town too

We went out for a curry last night and there's another portion in the fridge as both me and OH had the same but didn't finish so we've bought it home. He can have that for tea tomorrow as I'm out. We've also got enough things in to make a chilli on Tuesday night so we don't need to buy too much food this week I don't think

Cannot believe January is nearly over already! :eek: Time sure does go fast.

Aims for January:
- Lose 5lbs
- Eat more healthy, both at home and at school
- Sort out school work before HoD leaves for mat leave
- Put £300 into the wedding savings

So, I haven't lost any weight. I really really need to get a grip with my eating big style, I'm struggling so much. Again, this will help with the healthy eating, which is just not happened in Jan
Sorted out the things with my HoD as she's now left! And, I did succeed in putting £300 in the wedding savings

Aims for February:
- Lose 5lbs
- NO chocolate [:eek:]
- Put £200 into the wedding savings.

Here's to a good February!

it's hard this losing weight business would it helpyou if you joined a slimming club for ashort while just to get you started.
Well done on the other stuff.

This is going to sound wrong, but I hope you know enough of my character to perhaps understand the way I am trying to phrase this


Do you think that you are putting yourself under too much pressure?

You know that I think of you as extremely capable & am supportive in whatever you choose, but you do seem to put such tight deadlines into your plans It is perfectly understandable that you want to save as much as possible toward the Wedding, but would it really be that drastic if you let folk buy their own acceptance cards to reply, or had mainly white napkins with a splash of green instead of Terry Tartan or whatever if the money didn't quite go as far as you'd hoped?

I think THE most important thing here, is that you get to your Wedding in one piece & no bald patches from tearing your hair out by the roots in sheer panic & frustration!

I mean no malice; I'm just putting up an alternative path for your thoughts...

BMF - you're probably right. I do put myself under pressure - always have done - maybe I need to have a rethink about some things.

Something that I thought I'd gotten over has reared it's ugly head over the past few days. Really has shook me up.

A NSD today - trying to stay positive.

Hi sf

Just popping in to see if you're OK. Any better today?

Take care, and try to take some time to chill a bit, too much pressure or stress isn't good for any of us. At least if it's self-inflicted we can try to do something about it.

Take care
(((((hugs)))))
