Better half of 2014 - all about me

Thanks MC. Not heard from him since Sunday but that's not unusual, he doesn't tend to message every day. Am presuming tonight still on!

No exercise today as trainer has told me to have a day off. Tomorrow night is a 3 mile run.

Got a fairly nice day today, meeting at 10 with a client on an area of law I love and am confident about, then coffee with a friend at 1130 who is also a client about her pushing more work my way then have no work so going to read into a new area they want me to pick up

Cannot wait for the weekend though. As much as I enjoyed the weekend away I do like being at home surrounded by my own things

Also, is anyone watching Broadchurch?! It's bloody brilliant!

Yeah I watched it, watched Silent Witness last night as well, that was really scary!

Have fun tonight! X

So, last night was nice. He didn't cook but just got pizzas. A little disappointing but then he is a bloke! So I took wine. He's asked me out again sat which will be date 5. Don't know if he's dating other girls, don't think he is and he's told his friends and his boss about me so will continue to take it slow and play it cool

Sometimes I really fancy him and other times I don't. I think I fancied London boy more but probably because he was a geezer and I couldn't pin him down and I don't want or need a geezer in my life

Fitness is going well this week. Ran my target of 3 miles tonight so that's 3 list of exercise already this week and have trainer in the morning

Have an evil hearing tomorrow afternoon I'm not looking forward to - just don't feel like I know what I'm doing. Still, in 24 hours it will be over and no-one will die. Still hate my job but doesn't seem I can get out and still afford my house!!

Didn't make training as didn't slept until around 3am as worrying about this hearing. Cost me £30 and means I miss out on my exercise. Really p1sses me off that this job affects me so much. I just don't know how much longer I can do it

Keep trying to tell self it will all be over by 430 latest but it doesn't make it any easier

So p1ssed off missed training

Lulabelle. I would love to have a chap who was my best friend who I fancied sometimes. Sounds perfect to me!

So today: got a good luck message from new bloke which was nice. Went in, didn't go too badly but as I'm a perfectionist and it didn't fully go my way I beat myself up and did myself down

Went for a quick drink with senior partner post work who said I'm "getting there" and that they had to shove me in the hard hearings the last couple of years because they knew I could do it but I had to believe I could do it and now I've done it. Plus if I'm going to lead a team they have to believe I can do it too. He said the other big man had said that I'd done well because a horrid judge tries to drag concessions out of you so you can't appeal but that I've stood my ground even when it's been hard - makes me feel a little better

Then went to gay best mates and we watched wolf of Wall Street, drank wine, got a curry, drank more wine and talked boys! I love him so much - we always have a fabulous time and I'm very lucky to have him in my life

Tomorrow I have to run 4 miles and have a mani pedi then going to cinema and dinner with the new boy

Must resist urge to post on Facebook about new boy to annoy London boy as London boy probably not even bothered anyway!!!

Hey peeps.

Sorry I've been MIA for a week, I've been too exhausted to post

Despite good intentions time just ran away with me last sat so didn't manage to fit run in. Saw the boy for cinema then dinner which was nice. Did massive cliff walk with loads of steps on the Sunday with mates taking flasks of tea and ham sarnies! Was hard and was exhausted after but a nice day out

Week of work and pay review that was barely worth having. Resisted urge to kick off reactively but instead wrote my thoughts down and will discuss with my dad and my friends husband and gay best mate before challenging

Ran 4 miles mon and 3 thurs which am pleased with. No training this week as trainer away. Boy came round weds night and I cooked.

Meant to be running 5 miles this morning and stayed in last night, did not touch a drop of booze and went to bed at 10 so I would be in the mood/state to do it but woken up with the sh1ts for the 3rd time this week plus it's on/off heavy rain/hail! Have taken Imodium but stomach hurting. I am annoyed as want to run as out for Chinese with the boy tonight so want to enjoy that and wine guilt free but fear if I step out I won't make it and that will annoy me more so thinking of canning it today and doing it tomorrow evening instead

Hey Lula, how are things with you on the work/fitness/boy front? X

lulabelle

Hi MC.

Sorry for lack of posting - am training really hard so am exhausted!

Went out for Chinese with the boy sat then back here and we drank waaaay too much. Had a conversation that he's not dating anyone else and we agreed to come off websites etc and see each other but now he's being a bit clingy and getting annoyed I currently don't want to see him more than twice a week which is a bit off putting. Thing is: am so used to being single and doing my own thing it's hard to change that esp as I also have work, training and friends to fit in

Anyway, did no exercise over weekend. Test drove a new (used) car sat but it's an extravagance and I drive maybe once or twice a week so am really struggling with whether to splash out. I have no debt these days (other than mortgages of which one is serviced by rental income and another I'm slightly overpaying) and keep telling myself it's just me, no kids and no responsibilities and I work hard, can afford it so why not but it's just not sitting right. Going to do another test drive at the weekend then make a decision

Ran 5 miles mon night which am so chuffed about! Was exhausted though!!! Trained with trainer this morning. Tomorrow night is 4 miles then trainer Friday morning. The boy was away on a course yesterday and today so am going to his tonight for pizza and a DVD

Work sh1te as usual. Tried to speak with senior partner re pay rise yesterday and got fobbed off that it's one of the others (the horrid one) I need to speak to and also that I got the highest rise this year and some people weren't getting rises. Thing is: this is first time in 3 years I've had a rise so to say I got the highest might be true but that's in the context of no rise the previous 3 years when I know others have had them
