    Off to aqua aerobics in half an hour. Just waiting for some pasta to cook to go with my bolognaise sauce which is smelling very delicious. I’m very impressed I’ve stayed on plan food wise this week and not reverted to comfort eating.
    I’ve just had a phone call to go for the scan on Wednesday - which should be my 1st full day in work...not a lot I can do about it though. I go for the contrast injection at 10 am and go back a couple of hours later for the scan. I’ll have to juggle my hours at work so that I have Wednesday off.

    That's typical, hope you can juggle your hours. Hope you enjoyed your catch up, I love meeting up with my old friends I don't see that often but we just pick up where we left off last time :)

  • Typical of the scan to be on your work day, but your health is very important . Hope the meet up with your friend was good. I meet one of my friends for breakfast , well usually brunch !

    Have a good evening.
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

  • It does sound very probable that the scan has highlighted a similar problem to what you've had before. Hopefully the second scan will set your mind at rest.

    Hospital or doctor appointments always come at the most inconvenient time, it's like they do it on purpose!

    Had a lovely time at aqua last night - lots of laughs. I tried one of the normal sized dumbbells just out of curiosity- I couldn’t even get it in the water with my bad arm and it hurt my elbow. I can manage a lot of the moves with the small one but end up adapting the instructions for some of the session to suit my arm movement- was still fun though.
    I came in to watch Whitegate Farm (or whatever it was called) went to bed with my cuppa - settled down nicely then the tv kept pixelating and pausing - I wasn’t impressed. It’s been doing that. A lot recently :mad:
    Not much to report today - I couldn’t ask about changing my hours next week as headteacher was out. A NSD that’s my 4th this week. Plodding along nicely.

  • I find having the morning off isnt that productive as I tend to have a lie in and then I need to have my lunch at about 11am so there isn't really time to do anything much. I hope you can get hold of the head and change your hours.

    You're doing so well with all the exercise :).

    That’s how I am doing afternoons Hairy - not much longer now though.
    I’ve changed my hours next week to all day Monday and Tuesday off Wednesday to go for the scan and all day Thursday and Friday. I’ve told work what I need to tell them so a little one I work with isn’t messed about in the slim chance I need to be off again :eek: So there’s been a little bit of shuffling around just until I have the results. Hopefully after that everything will go back to normal.
    Dh picked me up after work on Friday and we went to the big shopping mall with the intention of using our free cake and cuppa vouchers at John L but they only had scones left so we didn’t bother. We had a mooch around the shops. There were some bargains to be had but I couldn’t figure who I’d give them to so I didn’t bother. We treated ourselves to some Chinese food from M&S came home and cooked it - a lovely treat.
    Ds came around yesterday and I was telling him about the bargains I’d seen - he decided to buy one for his friends 40th - a gift pack of half a bottle of sip smith gin, 2 enamel mugs and tonics reduced from £40 to £16. So we returned to the mall - ds bought it - we were chuffed as we’d seen another shop selling the exact thing for £38 in another shop. We went and used our cake vouchers, decided to go to cinema to see 1917. We had an hour or so before the film so had a lovely walk along the canal in the sunshine - you wouldn’t believe you were in such a busy area - it was lovely. The film was brilliant and we finished with a meal courtesy of Mr T vouchers. So a lovely MSE day.
    I’ve had a snuffly nose - so have well and truly dosed myself up to clear it before it has chance to develop into anything. Lazy day planned today. I need to pop out and buy a few bits for the week. I’m cooking a chicken basted in mild curry cooked over veg for dinner - I saw it a week or so ago in eat well for less and thought it’d be a bit different.
    I lost 3 lb at SW on Friday and was chuffed with that - I’d even had fish and chips in that lot. Mmmm need to do a bit of damage limitation after my day out yesterday.

    What a lovely budget friendly day you had :) Mr SA keeps going on about that chicken on Eat Well for Less he really liked the look of it. Well done on the weight loss. Glad you managed to change your hours.
