I totally agree crisps are lush I only like plain which doesn't help really as I eat just as many. Pringle, HullaHoops and KettleChips are my favorites.
Sitting her at my post Country Club with a bottle of Sol & lime. It is on 6.45 so will have to make it last but they only have WIFI in the bar. Will try to have a salad for dinner to be good.Save £12k in 25 No 49

Evening what a lovely sunny one it is too. Sitting in the lobby and looking out on the golf course so want to be out there so will go for a walk in a bit. Then the gym as I might as well use the facilities.
Team meeting went well today company is not moving that far away from the way we work now so I should be able to stick around and believe in the service we provide. I would like to look around for another job but it is not urgent now which is great really. My manager is also very supportive of me and is sending me for some confidence boosting which is nice.
Had two bottles of Sol last night and the food was rubbish. Unreal that a 4 start hotel can serve such rubbish if I had to pay for it myself I would have complained.
Lastly someone trying to spend £400 on Littlewoods online on my business card so that has been closed now. Just as well I have another card to pay my £200 bill tomorrow. Well I will get a new one but strange how that happens. It used ot happen on my Natwest Card and this is RBS so I know they are linked.
Hope you are all having a nice evening and for those of you on a diet or sensible eating plan as I prefer to call it stay away from those CRISPS.Save £12k in 25 No 49

Glad to hear the team meeting went well. Shame about the food at the hotel though.

Very tempted to have a cider yesterday but managed to say no. No crisps yesterday but one packet today!Currently studying for a Diploma - wish me luck

Yes it is the business card this time but it was my personal one last time. Should get a new one soon and hopefully it won't happen again. Work was fine about it.
Well done on the Cider :T we went to the pub but instead of sharing a bottle of pinot I had 1 Sol but then I had another one when I got home. That leaves me with 2 bottle for the rest of the weekend and that is not going to happen. Being away with the girls will require more than that. However if I can stay off the wine it should not be too bad.
Just comepleted Gamebooker and PartyGame offer so can claim the 8 x €20 free bets if all is well. There is WIFI at the hotel so that is cool but will have to do it when no one is looking as the girls will think I have a gambling problem.
My tee time isn't until 12.47 and it is about 45 min away so don't have to leave yet. Need to unpack and pack and tidy up the house for the cleaner.
Got my £33 from MysteryShopping so updated my signature. I don't think I shall need to pay for my airlines tickets to Denmark this Summer as I have applied for a DUO card for DH to get 1500 airmiles. He just needs to spend £10 on it so that will be a bonus. You need to book 1 night in a hotel but we can go to Copenhagen which will be quite nice actually.
Take care have a good weekend.Save £12k in 25 No 49

Right hotel have WIFI so a quick hello. Lovely to be with the girls again some of them I have not seen for ages. Golf course is beautiful but quite hilly and as the buggies cost £30 I have now walked it twice. Not sure I shall play tomorrow. Drinks and food are expensive but its only lunch we have to pay for.
Not done very well on the diet from apart from play 2 x 18 holes and going to have a swim in a bit. Had two bottles of larger yesterday and 1 bottle of Rose. Don't feel too bad today but can feel I had lot to drink. Will update my signature and hang my head in shame. Can't promise I will do better tonight.Save £12k in 25 No 49

Hi TG, I didn't used to complain if my company was paying but now I always do - why should they not be told that the food is rubbish and hopefully they should be pleased that they are being told so that they can do something about it. In my opinion too many hotel meals and restaurants close to hotel are below standard - my belief is that they have a 'captive audience' so don't have to try as hard as they would if they were relying on regulars/locals to keep their business going.
I had to laugh at your crisp comment - they are my downfall and like you I love the plain ones although they have to be Walkers:o

Thanks abouttimetoo I should complain sometimes you are just too tired or fedup that it is hard to get the energy to do it. If I am really hungry and I can just about eat the food I will but to complain you really need to do it before you have eaten it all.
Just back from the girlies weekend had a really good time but too much drinking and eating. Did not play golf today as I wanted to make it to my inlaws today. We are going after the F1 ends.
Doing all my Gamebookers and Partybets free bets and got £60 from Ladbrokes which was very nice. Will update my signature with the full damage of this weekend but then it will back on track Monday.Save £12k in 25 No 49

Glad to hear you had a good girly weekend TG.
Don't feel bad about the wine, surely the hilly course you walked will have burnt off some of it ;-) I had a bottle this weekend too)

Morning thought I better come on here and update my signature to forget all the drinking last weekend and start a fresh. Felt a bit rought yesterday so missed BodyBalance and had a relaxing day working from home. Well the working is perhaps a bit optimistic but I did manage to get through 21 of my Party/Gamebookers bonuses so only 11 to go.
Watched to crucial game last night Pompey did look a bit shaky at times but a draw is OK for me. I think we are going to stay up this year. Nice that you could hear the 300 Pompey fans over the 40,000 Newcastle fans.
Same today working from home really need some more appointments.
Lastly heard this expression which is common amoungst doctors. If you say someone is a bit Dagenham it means they are 1 stop from Barking. I just love it would work well in my industry too.Save £12k in 25 No 49
