    Ohhh, you've just described me on every pill I've been on. It wasn't til I came off and looked back thatvi realised how bad I was! Glad I'm not on it now!

    I was insanely bad on Yasmin. I came off the pill entirly after it for a while. Yasminelle is working well but will be coming off that after the honeymoon anyway as well.

    Not a bad day. Had a yummy lunch of goats cheese pannini as my manager is leaving :( and I resisted the chips and the apple pie and cream so quite happy with myself.

    Been a bit of a mixed day house wise. Got great news from my Uncle (he's going to help us out paying for external insulation as our wedding present) but it's been downhill from there. Our electrician was supposed to send something off and he hasn't and we can't give out to him cause his wife just had a baby (yesterday) and he's been in and out of hospital all week apparently.

    In Ireland there's a scheme where if you do things to your house that are considered energy saving you get a grant of some of the money back. There was quite a lot we would be claiming for like new boiler, heating controls, loft insulation, the external insulation. We were waiting to submit everything on one form. Well of midnight last night the flipping scheme has been suspended!! So they're obviously restructuring it. Have no idea what's going to happen so just have to cross our fingers and hope that it's not reduced too much.

    Did half an hour on the WII tonght so happy with that. Did 2 hours overtime as well. Will do another 2 tomorrow.

    I have the eurovision on in the background. It's quite sad but I quite like it! Hope Jedward do well. They're not on till Thursday night.

    House building sounds so stressful? Do you find it difficult to cope with it? I don't think I could do it plus work at the same time but I suffer from anxiety so I tend to get overwhelmed by stressful situations rather easily.

    Didn't know Eurovision was on tonight but I have no interest in it anyway. I do love Jedward though so will definitely watch them on Thursday. I keep wondering if the foreign media think they are some sort of choreographed act who go back to being "normal" when the cameras stop rolling:rotfl: It would be hard to believe that they are actually like that all the time.

    Still haven't got shred. Bit scared to, to be honest!!

    The house is stressful but it's great that everything is exactly as I want it.

    In good news the grant scheme has been announced. The external insulation (which is the most expensive thing) hasn't been reduced! The boiler and roof insulation have been reduced a bit though, but not so much as to totally bad.

    I'm still feeling a bit blah so have my night planned out to be as lazy as possible. Got home and put on fire, had a shower and cooked dinner. Am now on the couch with the Alibi channel on telly and a glass of wine in front of me! I also am finally going to get around to reading Red magazine. Happy days!

    Had another NSD so happy with that.

    It was great but they need to stop killing Rory! I was in BITS last week when it looked like he was dead, then this week again with his body, and even the first episode this season made it look like he'd been killed! Last season as well they were at it!

    LOVED the Ukraine entry in eurovision. Not the song but the "sand artist" in the background was AMAZING! (the song was grand, just didnt pay any attention to it!)
