Had a meeting with a local council about supply teaching today. I've to give them a ring in 2-3 weeks when paperwork has been processed and hopefully they'll have something for me. A few others who had to complete the extra placement have been given full time supply posts right through til June so fingers crossed I go the same way!!
Also been looking for Christmas temp retail jobs and have an interview with Debenhams, Build-A-Bear-Workshop & Schuh over the next week so I'll be employed one way or the other soon with any luck!

Happy belated birthday! and congrats on the loss :)
 
Thank you both :D

Debenhams interview went well today. I missed a call from them approx 4 hours after I left the store but the number left in the voicemail says 'number no longer in use' any time I try to phone it! Not sure what to do. Hope they phone back? There's no store numbers online, only an 0845 customer service line which doesn't fall in my free call allowance. So annoyed I missed the call!

Anyway. Menu for today:

B - 1 hifi light bar (half HExB) - again, nerves = can't really eat!
L - 1 slice wholemeal granary toast (5 syns) & scrambled egg using some ss milk (2 syns)
D - homemade burgers (using turkey mince) with 3 mini baby bel light (HExA) & salad
Other - hifi light bar (other half HExB), muller light & melon, green tea.

Syns = 7
Calories = 1200 approx

Annoyed I had to syn my bread today as dad picked up the wrong kind! No matter though... x
 
Hope you hear back from Debenhams!! Promising that they rang back so soon after.
Your day sounds great. I used to eat so much more than that though on SW. Probably where my problems lay!!!
 
I think the whole 'eat as much free food' rule can be the downfall of some folk but maybe cause I calorie counted prior to Slimming World it helped? Either way, I'm just glad it seems to be working for me :)

Menu today:

B - ham, pepper & mushroom omelette topped with 30g cheddar (HExA), 1 slice wholemeal toast (60g ; HExB) & side salad
L - chicken salad with beetroot & pickles
D - cajun chicken & rice
Other - satsuma, melon, muller light & 1tbsp nutella (4 syns), green tea.

Syns = 4
Calories = approx 1500

And to help keep me motivated and on track I made this wee comparison before/after snapshot. I honestly never realised just how fat my face was before:

Well done on the loss!! Your doing amazingly well.
I'm watching my syns this week. Although counting up I don't think I was much over syns last week from just calorie counting. I think a mix of the two is the right way forward for me.
 
Thank you!! Sadly I fell off the wagon on Saturday and ended up with a gain of 1lb this week. But I'm ok with that and determined to get it off for next week and hopefully a wee bit more too!!!

Menu today:

B - 2 x hifi light bars, 2 x babybel minis (HExA & B) as breakfast on the go
L - Low fat chilli chicken supernoodles & an alpen light bar (3 syns)
D - Mince with carrots & onions through it, mashed potato & cabbage. 1 syn ketchup.
Other - satsuma, penguin biscuit (5.5 syns) & green tea

Syns = 9.5
Calories = 1400 approx

I got the Debenhams job - I started yesterday :). Gutted I'm in at 9am on Saturday though as have a Halloween/25th birthday party on Friday night! I'll be sticking to the pepsi max anyway but was looking forward to a lazy lie in with my hubby-to-be the next day haha. No matter, a job is a job and I need the money!
