    Big news here - I have a new job!:j. All happened really quickly. The company I interviewed with on Monday came back with an improved offer which I have accepted and I handed my notice in yesterday! I finish in 4 weeks! I still feel a bit shell shocked as it has happened so fast but I'm sure I've made the right decision and I'm really excited about the new role! The salary is a little more and my fuel costs will be much lower so the financial pressure should ease a little too

    Had dinner with TM on Tuesday which was lovely and he's really pleased for me! And he's also said we'll keep in touch! :D

    I've done no exercise this week and I've put 8lbs on so today I'm starting a 4 week body blitz! Eating well, loads of exercise and generally looking after myself - I will start my new job looking my best which will boost my confidence, and then 2 weeks later I'll be on holiday! :j

    Quiet day today, having my nails done and have a bit of shopping to do then exercise and housework!

    Happy Easter everybody! :easter_ba:easter_ba

    Lovely sunny morning here, always makes me feel better! Am planning to head to the gym soon and get back into my run training, have really let it slip in the last couple of weeks! :o Did my slender tone yesterday, went for a sunbed and ate well so my 4 week 'goddess plan' is off to a good start

    Might go into town this afternoon for a proper look around the shops, have some vouchers to spend :)

    And still need a housework blitz - and want to do some Easter baking!

    Good workout yesterday and the scales are showing 3lbs lower! Got my car valeted too, went for a sunbed and have made chocolate cup cakes

    Bit of a lazy day today, then off to my Mum's for a roast later! :D

    A week has disappeared somewhere! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Had a lovely day out on Easter Monday with TM and his daughter - really enjoyed myself and really value his friendship. He also made a point about us staying in touch once we no longer work in the same building :D

    Work was very busy last week after my resignation, everybody wants me to do things for them before I finish. They are advertising for my replacement with a role sounding much more like what I wanted it to be - annoying :mad: but confirms that I have definately made the right decision in moving on. However, on the whole people have been lovely and wished me well. Out for drinks tonight with our reps, the first of three leaving do's!!

    Being so busy exercise went out of the window last week and eating was a bit erratic! Did the gym Saturday and Sunday so I am getting back on track now, only 6 weeks until my charity run so I really need to focus on my running

    Out for a curry and a few drinks on Saturday night which was fun but not very good for the diet! :o I love Indian food and ate way to much - not to mention the wine!

    Massive to do lists this week - work and personal, so it needs to be a week of getting my head down and powering through!

    Drinks we cancelled last night but replaced with lunch today! Managed to eat well yesterday and off to the gym tonight

    Feeling a bit in limbo at work - still really busy but not actually working towards anything, suppose working notice is like that!
