  • Whilst I wasn't at work today I am claiming a LTW victory as I took a sandwich to the hairdressers so that I didn't end up a the bakery next door :)

  • Good afternoon all! Just emerging from the land of zzzzzz's after completing three night shifts in a row. I posted something earlier but the inter web ate my post. So here's my second attempt.

    I managed to make 5 LTW's all week. I haven't had breakfast or lunch (again ��) because I went straight to bed for my catch up sleep but will have an early dinner later. I'm back to work again tomorrow on an early shift at 7am (horrors of working on shift aside from the irregular eating pattern is the IRREGULAR sleeping pattern). I have only one rest day which is today so I'm trying to rest as much as I could to get ready for another 6 (not 5) working days.

    Ninth Anniversary Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    Well hello!

    I was planning on going to work today but woke up (5:15am)feeling dreadful so I didn't go in, it was extra anyway as I did an overnight on Monday so should have gone in today to make my hours up, did extra throughout the week though so hopefully I've made it up there!!

    Anyhoo, went to Iceland, stocked up on tins and dried pasta and batch cooked fusili bolognaise when I got home, that's at the very least 7 days worth of lunches! Been in bed for the last few hours, think I'll get a cup of tea and some pasta and catch up on here for a bit, then bed again!
    Need to be well for tomorrow's overnight and next weeks 10 hour shifts! X

    I've been Money Tipped! Debt-free and Proud!
    Have been in bed all day with a migraine, so not feeling too great today :(
    Will update tomorrow instead.

    B17c i hope you are feeling better soon.
  • I do hope you're feeling better today WTBSE. I'm a fellow migraine sufferer and it's not fun.

    I had a very rough morning absolutely shattered. As expected, due to my sudden change of shift from night shift to early with one rest day in between, I didn't get to sleep til 4am this morning and had to get up at 6am. Walked into work feeling like a zombie. Two cups of coffee later, I am still feeling rough.

    LTW no. 6 are wafer thin chicken in a seeded farmhouse bread and peanut butter and banana sandwich and YS Red seedless grapes. Breakfast was porridge and banana.

    Just over 2 hours to go before home time and I can't wait.

    Thanks TOG, i am feeling much better today. A little lingering headache, but at least the migraine has gone!

    You poor thing, i hope you manage to get some decent sleep soon. How often do your shift patterns change?
    Your LTW sounds yummy, enjoy!

    Well done CC, thats great. What are you having?

    I am not at work now until Thursday :) But does that stop me being prepared? NO! I am having some pitta breads stuffed with salad and cous cous tomorrow. Maybe some hummus too, if i make some (i will!).
    Have a great Sunday everyone!
