'I love you but I love ME more' Souk's 2011 diary

Souk08

Morning all,

Well our sale starts today at the shop so I fully expect to get trampled on in the rush. its not quite good to go yet so I worked late last night and am going in early today. The company are very good about time back though so I'll either keep it for going to an interview (hopefully) or take a half day at some convenient point!

Its my first big sale set up as a manager and the companys first time doing something new so not too sure what I was doing :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:but so long as it looks neat and we keep offering the service and , we should be fine.

When I finish I'll head to the gym again. Went before work yesterday as I started later. Totally in the zone with the diet now and really feeling the benefits.

In money news, my Amazon voucher came through yesterday so i bought a few books I had wanted for a while and the 6th series of SATC :j I had every episode but they got stolen in the break in a few years ago and I haven't replaced them all. Great fun and good for the winter/down days/general inspiration on being a fabulous single lady. I feel sure you know which one of the four I am most like :rotfl:

Away to get ready, just hope my feet in heels withstand the day X

Did you see the photos of SJP at the New York premiere of HP7 pt2? She looked good!

Not really watched SATC that much, but did see Kim Cattrall in Private Lives in London when we were last there.

The audience was obviously full of SATC fans.

Great news on the diet
I am due a wee shopping spree soon with my holiday refund money woohoo

Well,

Good news first:

I've lost another lb (was 3 but not after the hen night:beer:)
I've been to the gym twice this week and will go two more times.

The hen was AWESOME. Much hilarity with a bit of pole dancing and lapdancing :rotfl:and great banter from some great girls. I won £125 taking part in a game show too so my night was actually free! :j

I bought a fabby Wallis sale frock for a tenner and Mum bought me two fab holiday frocks. Here's one http://www.oasis-stores.com/Scarf-Print-Twill-Hanky-Hem-Dress/Dresses/oasis/fcp-product/4470078260

Had a day off on Monday and met Mum and Dad at the local shopping centre, which was ace.

Work is good.

Bought a few necessary toiletry bits with some winnings and they were No7 and 3 for 2 :j

And the bad:
I locked myself out today like a fool and had to pay the locksmith man £30 for 2 seconds of work. This means that I will have to return some nice undies I bought the other day as I dont get paid for a week and the money situation is not good.

Money:
Bank - 1p :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Goodness. What a lovely time I'll have with that.
Purse - £2 but will be £18 tomorrow when I take the undies back.
Odd and Sods Fund: £7.20. I suspect this will be used for essentials/food next week at this rate.

I have spent £83.61 :eek:on groceries this month. Not awful in the grand scheme of things and what I had to do to get the weight off but not budgeted for either!

I have £2.50 worth of Nectar points to spend and also 860 Mysurvey points so can get another voucher/cash soon. Loving them at the moment and think I may ditch the rest as I cant be bothered to do loads and these having been paying well for me lately.

Going to a BBQ at a mates at the weekend and have bought some nice burgers and made some home made ones for it. I also have some booze left from the hen so should only need 1 bottle more! No other social plans, just dieting and gyming really.

Off for a lovely bath now.

PS The SATC is here!!!

Hi all,

Have had a lovely weekend. BBQ was ace and weather was lovely for once. Drank rather a lot and there was much hilarity and dancing:j:j:j

Today was another beautiful one so I got back quite early, pottered round a local festival with the gays and then sunbathed on my terrace with some sangria. :beer: Lovely, and a bit like my old life in the sun.

I have now lost 10lbs and I'm ectastic about this :j

Money stuff is not great but haven't touched the odds and sods fund yet. Mum has sent me through £20 to get the train to my interview tomorrow, which is very good of her. Been researching the company tonight and all good. Not going til the afternoon so can gym and potter in the morning as it's my day off anyway. X

Well done on the weight loss

What time are you in the Burgh till? Might you be about for a post-interview coffee?
