Good afternoon. It is seasonal work so there are less hours in winter between Nov and March. But that should be ok, we'll manage on Jamie's wage and I could always do some temping or something like that. I know, i can't wait to wear the "uniform"! :D Although I am not sure how knowledgable i...

Morning guys :) Ah yeah, they had that Fawlty Towers thing on here, it sounded really really good, but it was £50 each and then I think i'd feel quite intimidated :S ha. Would be awesome fun though you'd have to be up for food being spilt on you and stuff, ha. Terry Pratchett is an amazing...

Hi gemstone. See I am wondering about that, as we dont have a trade union here at work, and i thought about paying for one but i thought it would be expensive. I went to the Newcastle Law Centre, ACAS and Citizens Advice though for legal advice and they've been helpful so i've quoted them. But...

Good morning. Well it's rather wet and miserable here again! but I am in a good enough mood. My boss is off today and it's Thursday so my weekend is tomorrow, so they are good reasons. We had a nice evening playing this puzzley weird computer game which was fun :) Have been thinking a lot...

Thanks Nomad! I am excited and nervous at the same time! ha. Am worried about it being casual work... but Jamie brings home enough money for bills and rent and if it makes me happy at the end of the day it's worth going for for that and the experience i think. So now for lots of reading up...

Ohhhh I have just been emailed about a trial and interview on Tuesday at a children's bookshop i applied for :S I do love it there and it'd be awesome to work there even though its just the cafe and shop bit i'll be working in but i am concerned it is just a casual contract :S I need to read up...

Oh I forgot to say, Nomad - One of the jobs i applied for was the Bank thing for the NHS you mentioned to me aggggges ago! I saw an advert for it on the NHS jobs website. It's an as and when is needed role, but i thought "Why not?" so fingers crossed! something like that would be ideal to get me...

Hiya Nomad. Yeah it does suck being here on bank hol. Mainly cos there is hardly anyone here so am rather lonely :S Oh well, i've been doing a job application (shush!) The afternoon has flown by since i've been concentrating on the form and thinkign about it. I've been doign work inbetween...

Aw thanks Nomad. I know you're right. It would probably boost my confidence too doing that... seeing what i am actually capable of and that. Thanks, i should go soon i know. Although now i am busy for 2 Fridays in a row, sigh. So that's not good. I'll see if i can find time on another day. I...

Good morning, hope today's being a good one for everyone? Thanks Nomad. I am totally living for the evenings and weekends! it's the best way to cope i think. I am annoyed yet again about a new stupid rule at work, so gah. I keep trying to ignore this place, i know it's ridicolous but gah it's...

Good morning. Thanks Nomad :) That helps a lot. Am liking this new site design more now as it does look more professional but not sure on how to do everything yet :S Anyway, I am in a better mood today. I am waiting to see how long it lasts though as i've just arrived at work! hee. We had a...

Oh I just read something about a security breach. The email was sent last night at half 9 but it didnt come through until now for me :S Suppose that's why no one is logged on :S ooops.

Humm this new Minimins is confusing. It took me ages to find my blog :S Is it just me? I see that not many people have been on this this morning. Am wondering if i have an old version open or something :S It does seem to look more modern this new site but i dont like that getting to your...

What a boring day it is being :S Come on home time, hurry up! hee. Well after the success of our BBQ on the balcony yesterday we've been looking at BBQ's to buy :) Just a little one but it would be better than a disposable one :) So yay we're gonna get one for the weekend. Of course doing so...

Gah you know that is so not the case. If i didn't have one i'd have loads of time to look for a good job and build up application skills, or even do a course to build on my CV, or do more volunteering work. But as it is if i quit i can't get any financial help from the government. So I have...

Hello Nomad :) Thanks, we had a lovely evening. We went to see Rival Sons which were amazing! They aren't that well known yet though so were the support act for a band we dont particulary like. So we went along to see just them and then when the main band came on we left, ha. Was rather...

Have a good weekend Abi! I'll email you next week and see how you are :) Hi Jim, glad you are well. Oh that's good news! bet you're loving the retired life! and so you should :D

It was really interesting stuff Gem. There was a necklace which had bluetooth built in and it affected digital screens around the owners home city showing things like horses as she was a horse rider, and playing her favourite song to her as she walked about :) Also there was a locket with a...

Ello :) Well I've had a lovely productive day. I think the sun shining makes all the difference. I have got the house all spotless and 4 loads of washing done! have run out of drying space so sheets are hanging from all doors! Also applied for 2 jobs at the NHS. Not sure about agency work...

Aw you're so lovely :) I am just lazy, ha. I know I am capable of it but then i opt for the easy option. I really should walk to the metro station as it's only a 2 minute bus journey but i wait for the shuttle bus :S I'd save money too. But I am always in a hurry to get to work and then to get...

Afternoon :) God i am tired today :( I think a lot of it is being so overweight, i do get way more tired out than i ever have. Sigh. Now the sun is shining and it's getting warmer I am really feeling like I wanna be thin. Sigh. But it's a long road. I dont exercise at all now i get the...

Aw thanks Nomad! I have missed you :) Yeah i am hoping something comes of Office Angels, temping sounds like a good solution since the normal job hunting doesnt seem to be getting me anywhere! If only we didnt need money :( Ah yeah, I had forgotten about that. That's when i stopped writing...

Hiya Abz :) I have been emailing you recently but thought I'd say hello on here too. I thought it was about time I checked in here. I miss this nice community. Well done on the SW front. Aw, it's lovely reading about Izzy too :) shes growing fast :) aw. Love to you all, and email soooon :D

Thanks so much Gemstone. Yes you're right, there's been too much to think about lately that my dieting was the last thing on my mind. It's a combination of free hotel breakfasts, having to eat out cos we couldn't cook, lots of wine to destress and of course thinking that i deserved treats! ha...

Morning, Well i thought I would quickly update here while I have a bit of spare time :) Sooo we got the flat ok, well it's not been signed for yet but it's off the market and we are collecting together all the paperwork we need to secure it, so it's as good as ours. We can't move in until the...

Thanks guys, you're all so lovely and so supportive on here :) aw. Well things have been a bit rubbish, it's all a rather long story... Basically the company that owns the flats is insured, so that's paid for our alternative accomodation. The first week we were in 3 hotels (each was a stress...

Hey hey, well things are a bit mad here at the moment :S We came home on Saturday morning (after staying at a friends Friday night) to find our flat totally flooded! We are on the first floor too so it was rather strange! but someone's boiler on the top floor has burst and it had been running...

Good morning everyone :) Thanks for popping by and for all the lovely messages :D Well i am still not really in the zone of calorie counting :S It is really getting to me but I can't do it til I am ready... I am making better choices but then I blow it all with wine on an evening when I am...

Hi guys, thanks for the messages :) I've been in a right grump lately :S Perhaps it is the weather, ha, it certainly has been miserable this weekend and today. Well i had a nice weekend in the flat by myself :) Although i did terrible food wise, I ordered Chinese and had chocolate :S But I...

Hi guys, sorry i've not been getting on here much lately :S work seems so busy at the moment I don't get much chance to skive! :( Thanks for your comments :) Well nothing's really impoved regarding the work situation. Although one thing is that by me voiceing my concerns last week my manager...

Hi Pink :) Yay nice to have you back! Sounds like you're settling in to Uni life well :) good times. Don't worry about the 3lbs! it's hard adjusting to new situations and you'll soon get back in to it. Good luck with the job hunting then, and the interview for the cleaning job. Take care :)

Well I am feeling much more positive this week, woo! I had a brilliant day on Friday where I was very productive :) I went on the Wii Fit for an hour and burnt 100 and so calories and enjoyed it. Oh and I weighed in and I've lost 2 lbs! yays! I am going in the right direction again! Happy me...

Thanks Nomad :) I am feeling more positive about things yes :) And it's nice in a way that I am focusing my energy away from this work now and thinking forward. So I am liking this new mind set, I feel distanced from this place now and I needed that as I have enjoyed my 4 and a half years here...

Thanks so much Nomad :) You're lovely. That really helped. I am going to Google agencies then and see what there is here. I like the sound of the Bank place in the hospital, I wonder if there is something like that here.... So lots of researching for me. It sounds a bit scary going and...

Hey hey, sorry I've not been on here for a few days :S I've been in a right bad mood lately :( I am really angry with work at the moment, this place is unbelievable. I won't bore you with the really long story but basically I run the whole DM department myself, there used to be more of us but...

Hi Pink :) Don't you be worrying too much about the dieting at the moment you have loooads going on and are settling into a new routine, so it'll take time to adjust. Although saying that it sounds like you're not doing too badly at all! very good in fact. You are allowed the odd take away and...

Hi Sarah :) Well done for getting back on track. Don't worry about the couple of days of being naughty, we're all allowed the odd wobble! and you're doing so well :D I know what you mean about actually enjoying calorie counting, it gives you a good sense of achievement doesn't it :D Have you...

Aw a STS ain't bad at all! well done :D you've obviously done something right to not gain if you think you've had a bad week, so nothing wrong with that :) Sounds like you're back on track now for a loss :) Well done you!

Hi Abz, am glad you're all well :) I bet she is growing fast! Not long til our friend has her little boy either, aw. Good idea about making the attic hatch a bit bigger, it is a bit impractical at the moment. Aw I bet the nursery is looking lovely :) Take care Miss :)

Oh sorry that i've just seen this now! But that is a great idea :) I have seen things done like that before, like cous cous in a lettace leaf and that, it is much less calories than bread, i keep meaning to try it :) Thanks for posting about it, good idea it is :)

Hi Breadbin (interesting name btw!) Well done, sounds like you're off to a good start :) I know what you mean about finding the evenings the hardest part, after tea I want to eat more :( Any tips? I've tried just having a hot chocolate but it's nibbling i like... so have tried olives and...

Hi Pink, how are you today? up to much?

Aw thanks :) I am feeling so miserable that I am so fat lately :( everytime i see myself in the mirror I am shocked really, I think I just kinda block it out how big i am and try and think of myself as thinner... so the realisation isn't so nice, sigh. It's pants how i've let myself put 4 stone...

Hi Jim, ha it did sound a bit like that didn't it! oops!

Good morning everyone :) I hope you're well today? what you up to? Well I am bored at work again, ha, but never mind at least I have some work to do today so that should help make 6 o'clock come around quick enough :) Tonight we're going to a guided history tour around this old valley just...

Aw don't be annoyed with yourself! you've done sooo well. As you say you've come a long way to not comfort eat all week like you normally would, that is a huge step and we all know how hard it is to overcome that feeling. So we are all proud :) A STS is brilliant anyway! esp after your week...

Hi Pink :) Don't worry about your day off from the gym! you are allowed the odd day off! well done for going today though :) excellent. Ha, I hate that about gyms they always seem full of skinny people to me too :( buuuut you have to think that just cos they are thin doesn't mean they are...

Aw I am so sorry to hear that Sarah, how sad, that is so young and seems so unfair :( It was so lovely that you went to the pitch though and so many people paid their respects. Take care Sarah and love to you and your family at this sad time. Ah well no worries on the food! in these times...

Morning Abi :) Ohhh dear about the stitches :S doesn't sound very nice, hope you're not too sore today! Good luck with the tidying then! Hope your Mum's ok? how long is she staying for? Hope you're having a good day today?

Hi Sarah, well done on your good day yesterday! The walk sounds lovely along the river, the best kind of exercise i think is where you're with friends and don't realise you're really exercising. So did you just have cottage cheese for breakfast? did you not have it on anything? What did you...

Good morning :) Well done Abz! You'll soon start to see and feel a difference :) and it's great to have you back on here :D Good luck on Slimming World! Well I am in a good mood this morning :D makes a change, I don't normally feel awake til about dinner time, ha. But i had a good nights...

Hey guys, thanks for the kind messages :) My days here do feel like a chore at the moment, sigh. But I managed to find lots of work to do until about 4 today, so I feel more cheery today :) the day flew by! Yeah I could get trained in something else while there isn't much of my work to do, but...

Twister ice lollies are only 80 calories??? I love them! :D Yeah I am a bit like that, need to eat things on the go, or can't be bothered to cook too much when i get home... but yeah wraps are easy to do. I also make them with veg in and put them in the oven with some low fat cheese melted on...

Hehe, thanks guys. Yes it certainly feels like that Nomad, now that i have my heart set on doing something interesting with my days I am finding here unbearable :( esp as I have little work at the moment, we always get a summer lull as there are less adverts in summer, sigh. Wow Minusfour, I...

Hi Sarah :) Hope you don't mind me joining in on your diary? but i noticed that you are calorie counting too and about the same weight as me :) You are doing so well! it's interesting reading your meal plans. I find wraps good too, can fill them with loads of filling and then it's less bread...

Morning :) Well i had a good day food wise yesterday :) Jamie made us a veg curry for tea which was very low calorie and really tasty :) yum. I've brought in 2 quorn chicken salad breadbuns for lunch, so I am all set for another good day :) Am going out with a friend after work, but I shall...

Thanks Nomad, it was a good weekend and i keep reminding myself of that while I am moaning here at work today, sigh. Could time go any slower?!!! Humm at the moment I work for an advertising company who database adverts, so I do data entry basically and scan adverts after :( it's beyond boring...

Hi Pink! Aww you're allowed to have the odd day of indulging! you've done sooo well so far, you're only human after all. So don't worry about it, you'll get back in to it before too long :) How annoying was the cliffhanger!! grrr! hehe. Hope you had a nice weekend? what you up to today?

Thanks Pink :) Yeah i know! whhhhy have they left it on a cliffhanger? is there another series or what? i need to research this... Yeah after all the walking around the maze and then the nature reserve, i've had rather a lot of exercise this week, and it's been fun so was the best kind...

Hey guys, good morning :) Well I hope you all had a nice weekend? with lots of tea from tea pots by the sounds of it! My weekend was very good and lots of fun but sooo tiring! Friday was good, got up and went on the Wii Fit for a couple of hours, then applied for an admin job with the...

Good luck with your September goal! it's certainly good motivation. Ahhh see now that's a good kind of holiday, one where you haven't loads to do when you get back :D Woo hoo on the buying a belt, ha, stretchy jeans are so the best! Hope you had a nice weekend Pink :)

Oh now that does sound like a nice tea pot :D I have seen those ones where it's the pot on top and the cup underneath, clever :) Do you use them then? or just for display? I haven't used my cup cake one yet! I am so clumsy so terrified of breaking it :( seems a shame though. Thanks Nomad :) I...

Yep, all past habbits and situations that we'll look back on and laugh about :D Well I phoned my sister at 7 and didn't get off the phone until after 9, sigh. So that was most of the evening gone! then i just read my book, hee, was nice though, relaxing :) Ahhh yeah I saw that, I love Martin...

Hehe, wow! so what is this teapot like? please describe :) My friend gave me an awesome teapot for my birthday this year, it is in the shape of a cup cake! and the cherry on the top is the handle for the lid! it's the best teapot I've seen :D Glad you're having a happy day :)

Ahhh how was Toy Story 3? I really wanna see it :D ah that's great that Izzy was so good through it :) aw. Oh dear, that is a lot of money :( stupid cars! Hope you manage to sort something. Glad things are still good with you :) I bet Izzy's growing fast! :D

That's a very good list! lots of motivational points on there! I have to say I can relate to them all, sigh. The health scare ones are the ones that are worrying me at the moment :( but also I remember being able to go in to normal clothes shops and fitting in to things! now i avoid clothes shop...

Ah I remember those times, using overdrafts to pay rent and desperating waiting for the student loan to come through! always seemed to take forever! and not last long enough... New jacket and boots though... totally needed for when you start back at Uni again! When is it Uni starts the new...

Hi Pink, hope you're having a good day today? Hee I like those caramel Snack A Jacks and Alpen Light bars too :) they are certainly good for a snack and good for that sweet craving. That's a good idea about your Sept goal, that is much more achieveable :) Am sure you'll do fine with all...

Hehe yes it is :) she is away for 2 weeks too! woo hoo. Although I am finding today rather boring really since I haven't any work to do... some work to do slowly would be nice, sigh. Oh well am catching up with emails to people, ha. Hope you're all having fun days :D

Today is being a loooong day! I haven't much work to do either, sigh. At least it's nearly lunch time :)

Hi Pink, how are you today? Still paradeing around in those size 18's??? :D :D You off to the gym today? bet you have loads of washing and unpacking to do first though, sigh, that's the bad thing about coming home! Have a good day!

Morning guys :) How are you all today? Well I am rather sleepy today :S but never mind, it's Wednesday already :) The pub was fun last night, I did have one Guinness though :S but am happy with that :) Then went on to the Diet Coke. Thanks for that about the soda and lime Pink, ahhh, I...

Woooo well done :D that is brilliant about the loss :D amazing in fact! I can't believe how quick you're losing it! and then even though you treated yourself a little on your holiday you didn't go too mad, so you still have a loss, excellent! am so proud of you :D Good luck with your September...

Aw thanks you guys, you really have cheered me up :D I've been feeling so down about this for days now, but what you all said made so much sense! Thanks Minusfour :) I really needed to hear that, I see what you mean... I have changed my attitude a LOT since a year ago, and have spent all this...

Yay well done with the size 18s! :D excellent, that's such a nice feeling when you can see your achievements! so proud of you. Also don't worry about not doing too good while you are away, that's what life's about and you'll soon get back in to it when you're home :)

Aw thanks everyone :) you're all so lovely :) :) :) I was in a right mood all Friday, sigh, it is just so disheartening that it's been months now since i've lost anything, and I know it's down to me though so i just feel very cross with myself! I keep getting in to it for a couple of days and...

Ok, am in a better mood now, hee. I've been on the Wii Fit a full hour Wii Fit time, and done 2 jogs, cycling and 2 of the boxing as well as the fun games, so am knackered! burnt nearly 300 calories too :D Soooo I feel better. Jamie rang and cheered me up and said that this is only the...

Am fed up :( just weighed myself and I've lost nothing. Haven't lost anything in months now and i want to cry :( am doing so rubbish :( Been on the Wii Fit for 9 minutes and given up, sigh. All i want to do is comfort eat and am finding it hard to resist since i'm in the house by myself and...

Morning everyone :) hope you're all well? Well I am rather tired today, we went to the cinema last night and the film didn't finish until 12.45pm! so it was a rather late night... Oh well, it's Wednesday already :) Roll on my day off on Friday! I want to get on the Wii Fit and I've seen a...

Hehe I remember the photos of you Gem with your trousers on back to front :rolleyes: hee.

Well done Peachy! you're doing amazingly well :D I scale dodged this week :( was away for the weekend. So am hoping for a loss this Friday!

Well I've just had me lunch and am stuffed :) I didn't have breakfast in the end, just a coffee, so i went for another brie baggette from Pret :) also got some Miso Soup, it's soooo tasty and yummy and only 34 calories! so I shall be getting that more often. So today i've had less than 500...

Hi Pink! Sounds like you're still enjoying your time down in Devon :) how long are you there for? Don't worry about the lunch, you have to treat yourself every now and again! esp when on holiday! but all that digging will certainly burn it off! Aw it's lovely to escape to the country every...

Morning Abi :) how are you? and little Izzy? Hope you're all well :D

Morning everyone :) thanks for the nice messages! I did have a nice weekend, was lovely to get away and be in the countryside, it really is so beautiful there and I really didn't appriciate that when I was growing up! I did so well food wise too! wooo, I am so proud of myself! they have...

Aw sounds like you're having a lovely time away in Devon :) I am going to my parents this weekend, and they sound very much like your Dad and his wife in their ways with food :S It is always hard to eat well when I'm back home, but as long as we try and don't stray too much then I'm sure it...

Aw thanks Nomad :) I am terrible for feeling sorry for myself :( hee. I do think the wine is contributing to my yuck feeling today though :S sigh. But I am away at my parents from tomorrow so the temptation of wine will be gone :) I can detox while I'm there :D Allllthough they are terrible...

Morning :) Well I am feeling rather yuck again today :S I did sleep better though but I think that's cos i had a couple of glasses of wine at the theatre, hee. Still have my cough though :S but i got some cough sweets and they're helping :) Spamalot was awesome :D hehe, soooo funny :) really...

Aw thanks Nomad :) Yeah i do think that having Fridays off work is going to make such a difference :) Thanks, am still feeling rather yucky, but never mind. Spamalot is a play based on Monty Python :D Eric Idol wrote it and it's meant to be hilarious, I can't wait! i love Monty Python :D :D

Well done :D

Hi Pink, Ohhhh dear about the hair! hope the bleaching goes ok then :) Dont worry about the few naughty bits, it wont make too much of a difference once you get to the gym :) and besides life is for enjoying, so all in moderation like you've done :) yays. Take care and have a good weekend :)

Thanks guys :) I am enjoying my day off :) got up at 8.20 as usual, and did some housework and had a coffee, then went on to the Wii Fit, just done 1 hour 3 minutes on it and that burnt off 258 calories :D yays! am chuffed with myself :) My legs feel like jelly though, ha. Gonna get a shower...

Morning :) Gah I am knackered today :S I shouldn't be as I went to bed early enough and slept through, I think it's this heat :S and also being sat bored at work isn't helping :S I want to be in bed! Oh well, it's a shorter day today, am here til 5 today :) Then I am going over to my...

Boo to Sloooooow days! I need to stop staring at the clock, that's really not helping! ha. I avoided the Kit Kat :D well so far, ha. But I had an extra sweetener in my coffee and i think that helped stop the sweet craving :) wooo. I am impressed with myself, it's moments like this i need to...

I did Jim, she is the cutest baby :) aw. And very well behaved too, I was impressed at how she just sat there looking around and then slept :) aw. She needed a lot of feeding though which must tire Abi out. Her and Thomas have taken to parenthood like ducks to water! :) Lovely to see them :)

Hi Abz, Awwww it all sounds so awful :( Soooo glad she's ok though. Don't be thinking like that though! it was an accident! :( Hope she's feeling ok today and can manage to see Izzy for a bit :) that'll cheer her up. Give her my love.

Ah just realised that Abi didn't actually say, but her Mum fell down the stairs :( so that's what happened. They are not open, spacious kind of stairs and they wind round, so very dangerous for banging her head :( aw. Hope she's ok Abi. Take care.

Thanks Abi :) Lovely to see you on here. Hope you're all ok. Take care.

Aw Abz, I send more and more HUGS to you all :( aw, sounds so so awful, but thank God you could break in and get to her, aw. Really really glad she's ok, send her my love. Take care

Morning :) Esh I am tired this morning, yawn. Well I have been doing well food wise, but once again the wine is being a problem :S sigh. I went on our Wii Fit on Monday, and weighed in 3lb heavier!!! Was gutted :( But that gave me the motivation to do some stretching and the short jog and...

Hi guys :) Thanks Nomad, and don't you be worrying about having a few treats this weekend, you have had other things on your mind and you shouldn't have to worry about dieting at times like these, so don't worry :) Well we have 9 weeks now then :D so that's less than 2lb a week to lose :D we...
