    Part two 🫣
    Work has been hectic as we had the call! OFSTED visited (didn’t bother me, just did my job). Still waiting outcome, why it has to be so secretive! Senior leadership know but can’t tell us lowly workers 🤫. Then yesterday our class was observed by Head & English Lead. First Head sat in a child’s seat (we were outside doing spelling), then she moved to MY seat, “oh do you need to be here”! Err yeah, I’m 1-1 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦‍♀️ 

    My life in a nutshell 🤣🤣🤣

    Forgot what I’m here for! Weight up & down, been STS for couple of weeks. Better than gain but still nowhere near target these day 🥺🥺🥺
    Its not what you do but the way that you do it, thats what get results :T

    We managed to sort a BA flight yesterday so got here around lunchtime.  Just glad we sorted everything out and didn’t lose too much of our holiday.

    Still really tired so going to have a siesta now!

    You have been missed @TakeItEazy. I'd assumed your DH must be unwell but it seems it's you this time. There seems to be so much discrepancy between services across the country. All that stress with getting an appointment and then nothing much to show for it at the end. Poor you! 🤗

    It doesn't say much for your SMT that they're so unfamiliar with your classroom that they can't even find an unobtrusive place to sit!! 👿

    Glad you've arrived safe and sound @joedenise. Enjoy your siesta. 

    I did my meal plan and shop today instead of yesterday. Didn't really need much as worked out we're only eating at home for 4 days.

    I made myself a pasta dish for lunch using some of the LO sauce. I've got enough for tomorrow too. 😊

    Today's EE plan-
    B- HEB toast, HEA1 milk for drinks, bacon, fried egg (P), baked beans (F)
    L- mixed veg (broccoli, mushrooms, baby corn, spring onion) in tomato sauce (S), penne (F), HEA2 Parmesan
    D- baked cod (P), SW chips, mushy peas (F), tomatoes, mushrooms, green stuff (S)
    Syns- weekend wine

    Hi all,

    0.5lb loss for me. I also did pay today as the regular lady didn’t turn up or message. 

    Went to Brighton to see DD. Forgot the !!!! dog lead so had to leave DD and DH in a pub and go buy one - hand made red leather - £40!!! 

    Had pub lunch of chicken schnitzel, fries and salad plus 2 diet cokes. Also had a mulled wine at the Christmas Market. Got DD a couple of gifts for Christmas plus something for DIL2B. Now home having a cuppa - no dinner needed. 

    Good to see you @TakingItEasy but sorry to hear of your health woes. It does seem very hit and miss with the NHS. 

    Good to know you arrived safely @joedenise - have a great time x

    Got 2 x leg of lamb from Sains this morning. They were flying out the door. Have frozen them for Christmas Day/NYD. Might also get some of the beef they have on offer. 

    Have a good evening all.

    Well done on your loss @Coxy11. They all count! 👏👏👏

    I think the luxury lead has to be the dog's Christmas gift. Left to me I'd have sourced a piece of string! 🤣

    That's dire TIE.
    Sadly the NHSn is on it's knees.
    By the time my DS is my age I don't think we will have an NHS.

    Great that you're still at target @bubbs. 👏👏👏 I know how delighted I was on Thursday (and still am) to get back there. 😁

    Picky plate at lunch reminded of when you used to have picky tea on Saturdays. Do you ever think of going 'back to basics' and having that? 🤔
