:mad: Just come into work for my last shift before my pay packet. Been underpaid by 16 hours! Should have got 40 and I've got a measly 24! :mad:
Quick call to the wages manager and 'apparently' he will sort in the morning and give me a call tomorrow.

Gah! I need to go into town tomorrow and spend some cash that I now haven't got! :mad:

Gee, I have only come acoss this thread today and all I can say is that I wouldn't like to stand in your way!! :eek: You stated at the beginning of the thread you wanted to lose weight and your debt and you have done outstanding on both.

I often say I would like to lose weight but never seem to get round to it. I should be trying now to lose weight because my 10th wedding anniversary is only 11 weeks away and because it will be my parents 40th wedding anniversary on the same day and we are organinsing a party for them. Must get some x_raphael_xx determination.

On Friday I had a call from my dad, he was down and in the pub with my 3 uncles, I joined them about 8 and ended up staying til chucking out time. I've not seen my uncles for about 15 years, so was getting a lot of 'my you've grown' & 'I remember you when you were so high' :rotfl:
On Saturday we all met up again at an Indian restaurant for Granmas 70th birthday meal, most of them had been up on the Hoe in the afternoon and had started drinking then. The meal was gorgeous and everyone had a great time. After we ended up in the local Irish bar and stayed til closing.
I ended up spending £40 over the 2 days, which isn't bad when you include the meal, taxis & drinks.
It was great catching up with my uncles again, especially as Uncle W has been serving out in Iraq & Kuwait. My Uncle M suggested doing something for my dads 50th (in 2 years time) so hopefully it won't be long until we can get together again.

Thank you it's strange when you get others POV of yourself, I don't think I'm particularly tenacious. In fact I always think I can do more, and I'm not working hard enough!

Still no word from the wages manager about my wages, despite him promising to ring me Thursday morning. I should get paid it this week, but we shall see. I'm expecting 64 hours to go in tonight ~ 40 worked, 8 holiday and 16 owed from last week.

Oooh my Meatloaf tickets have arrived this morning :D

Well I took Shadow for her walkies and went past the office for my payslip. I got the 16 owed from last week, and the 40 worked, but not the 8 hours of leave :mad: oh well, at least I've got most of it :rolleyes:

Just read your diary for the first time. So impressed. I hope I manage to achieve so much in the same period of time!

I lost 2 stone at the end of last year and got to 13'4 and now am 23 weeks pregnant and a stone heavier again. Feel like a hippo! From somebody who has recently done the diet and exercise thing I certainly appreciate how much you have achieved

How is the gym going? Do you have any other appointments booked with the ever elusive Simon?

You sure that isn't the baby Only kidding, I'm sure you'll lose it all again when you're running around after the little one And you've done it once already, so you know it is achievable.

Gym is going good. I'm starting to see bones emerging as the layer of blubber is receding! :rotfl: I now have ankles and a collar bone! My wrist bone is showing now, and I can, for the first time in years, now get my fingers to touch around my wrist.

I've booked the next review in for the 28th, the day after my Meatloaf concert so hopefully I can get to see him on that date! :rolleyes:
