    I imagine its hard not to stand in the weighing scales when your trying to loose weight

    Today I am having a lazy day ( apart from more blood tests) I'm early tomorrow and nights tomorrow night so resting and doing paperwork will do me just fine

    so i the went for my bloods and nearly screamed the place down, the phlebotomist ( sp) went for a different vein from usual, i explained "no i usually get it from here", she said "look ive been doing this for 13 years and maybe you cant see it but i can feel this one is a better one",

    she went into the vein and goodness knows what she did but i was in agony straight away i told her to pull it out she said nearly done, then put in another vial ... i let rip at this point pushing the chair back etc and saying look this is too sore she said nearly done and went for a third vial, my response to that "get that out right now or i'm pulling it out", she said "but i will need to go back in" i said" i dont care get that the ( well i am sure you can imagine the word i used her) out right now",( then the surgery nurse ran into the room to see what was going on) ...

    so she did ... think she got a bit nervous cause she kept saying look theres nothing there, your not marked it isnt sore ... my reply well maybe you can't see it but ive had this body for 40 years and i know when it is in pain

    eventually she went to the vein i told her to go to in the first place, and it was pain free

    Hi all, thanks :) rising hope the fiasco wasn't too stressful for you, havn't had time to catch up with your diary will try to do so

    I feel a bit like a fish out of water just now as I have been putting in the hours at work, by the time my week is done I will have worked 78.5 hours, I thought it was less but just counted it all up

    It's been interesting in some ways though as a girl I change shifts with that happens to be married to a personal trainer/ nutritionist has been coming to me for nutritional advice, it was quite Bizzare, I was thinking I was in a parallel universe lol

    Havn't really been up to much apart from work and playing with figures, I have never set a debt free date, the closest I have ever came is my 100 month challenge
