    oh what a pain in the face! I am :mad: on your behalf!

    Hopefully something better comes up soon! :j



    Thank-You, I hope so :)


    Well this weekend has been alrightish. Bought another Groupon deal, this one for highlights, cut and blowdry, something I'd get (and now need) anyway but at a great £35 price. My friend came round on Saturday night and we had dinner and watched dvds. Yesterday was pants!!

    Today I had one of those great wee rare moments...A friend had given me a bag of clothes she was wanting rid of. As I'm losing weight I was very grateful for them as am at that 'in between' size stage and still have a bit to go. I tried on a pair of denim shorts she gave me and they fit fine :). I was wearing tights with them as my legs are no where near ready to be on show. Anyway when I took them off I realised they were a size 8!!!! :eek::eek:, I thought they were a 10. Never in a million years did I imagine getting into an 8!! Or a 10 for that matter...

    Think I have a bit more to go before I'd wear them outside though...one day :).
  • Well done on firstly finding the money.....especially as this will lead to a reduction in your monthly gas/elec bill payments too i fyou have overpaid by so much which means that you now have more money to throw at your debt/holiday fund....:j

    :mad::mad: for the interview and not been able to have a decent lie in especially on a Sunday morning....but thinking about it proves that there is jobs available alright thats not the right one for you and yeah it would help if the agency got it right in the first place....so fingers crossed as its only been a relatively short time since you enquired about it.

    Congratulations :T on being able to get into size 8 clothes....only size 8's I can get into is shoes !!! :rotfl:

    Hope today is a good one for you

    Wee iPhone update. I wore the size 8's today, I'm brave!! Had tights on though :). Funny when I walk into a clothes shop I'll still pick up a 14, my head takes a long time to catch up with things.

    Today I went for lunch with a friend, then had a wander through town. I then popped into my old work to pick up my pay slips so I can get the nhs discount when I join the gym!! Nice to see some of my old colleagues :).

    The sewing class started today and I thought it was !!!!, not sure if I want to go back but it'd be £80 odd down the drain...

    Ohoh almost forgot, I should have another interview coming up in Abu dhabi, in a suitable department!! Just waiting on confirmation :)

    The interview is off again for now :(. No idea what's happening
  • oh thats bad news.....about the interview...:mad:

    As for the sewing class, sometimes things that start of as being a bit pants...gets better over time as people settle down and make conversations, which broadens your circle of friends.

    Whooooooooooo well done on the size 8's even wearing them with tights is an achievement which is something that you didn't think was possible before you started your diary....:T

    Discount at the gym too.....:T

    Hope you have a lovely weekend.

    Hiya

    Havent posted much of late as been on such a downer. Again. I know, tis pathetic but whats the point of having a diary..?

    First of all I've had no work for almost two weeks, this means I'll have to dive into my overdraft to pay the bills. Also means I wont have much for my holiday, good job its only 4 days! I'm hoping I'll have more work in the next few weeks and the opportunity to try make the hours up. Trying to be positive.

    Also missing the ex, again I know its pathetic but just really wish I could spend this long easter holiday with him. Maybe I'm just bitter at the fact the he's happy. How come the selfish liars and cheaters of the world get to be happy??? Hurt whoever they want and no comeuppence. Yet people like me who put everyone infront of them, care and love people deeply, are honest, have morals and are always grateful and appreciative of what they have are treated like !!!!!!. Its not fair!!!! Rant rant rant rant rant rant rant. I hate myself for missing him and dont know why I cant listen to the bit in my head telling me it wasnt all that great, that he's a bit of an !!!!! etc etc????? :mad::mad::wall::wall::wall::wall:

    The UEA dream is off just now too, turns out there isnt even a job so the interview was cancelled...they were interviewing for a non existent job!! I really need to get away from here I think so not sure what my next step will be.

    Have given myself the weekend off the diet! Hmmm, seem to do that a lot oops.

    Ok, lets move onto better things...

    I am currently eating an enjoying a self bought easter egg :). I think most of todays meals will revolve around this!

    Had a good wee night last night with my two best friends (despite one of them getting a bit too drunk quite early and only being allowed into the empty bars!!).

    Have the following to look forward to
    • Trip to Marrakech
    • Snowboarding lessons
    • New hair doo
    • Comedy night
    • Girls day out
    All bought and paid for:j

    I have no plans for today so going to try to stay upbeat. Finding it hard though, Easter time last year I was sooo happy...Have to stop living in the past, I know that, it's not easy though.

    Happy Easter to you all x

    Come on doll, that's not like you. Onwards and upwards. Here if you need me. Loads to look forward to and bet he wasn't all that at all! X

  • Sorry to hear you are a bit down in the dumps :( but it sounds like you have some fab stuff to look forward to as well! :j

    You have made so many changes and it is such a difficult time. In the immediate aftermath of the wedding that wasn't, I really felt the need to wallow in misery so decided to accept that I was a bit down and just get on with it :D I'm really glad I did. I think a lot of people expect you to just get over it, but unless they have really been through it, they won't get it and may struggle to understand why you feel as you feel.

    Don't forget your lovely post about Counting your Blessings (which really inspired me!) and also you made some comments on my old diary about all the things you had been able to get on with on your own :)

    Hope you can find some way through, it's spring time and great for new beginnings. I am full of the joys at the moment, partly weather related and partly with everything that happened with my granny, I just don't want to waste any more of my life now.

    If you aren't working for now that sounds like it won't be helping you as you will have lots of time on your hands and that's never good if you don't want to think too much :( - hope it gets better soon and that you can find some things to keep yourself entertained.

    Lots of love and happy thoughts :j xx

    PS - and FWIW, I'm really glad I kept going with my diary because now I look back at the dark days last July and realise just how far I have come and it's pretty good really! (hope not sounding too annoying :D) so post away :)

    PPS - I am with you on being kind and considerate and it getting you nowhere. I will be much more careful with my affections now, but it won't stop me being the way I am. Ex really abused my good nature, but that is his issue not mine. well partly it was mine for not having my eyes open, but overall, IT WAS HIM NOT ME! hahaha

    Thanks hen :)

    I know, I have days and days of feeling fine then suddenly it hits me again. Have told myself that everytime I get upset over it I'm going to do something nice or for myself (like eat choc egg) or just think of the good stuff going on...
