Anyone in the 9s want to be in the 8's ??

Just a quick word to let you all know that my first shift went brilliantly today. 4am start to 12pm, so was a very early morning but i felt surprisingly happy all day haha, i was upbeat, not tired, tending to everyone and getting to know the staff pretty easily... We'll see how i do the same shift tomorrow asell though haha.

Its brilliant though as spoons gives you a "staff menu", basically a watered down version of the customer one, and you can have anything off of that staff menu for free on your break. If you buy something from the rest of the menu on duty then you get 70% off and off duty you always get 20% off food at any spoons.

I'm really glad i applied, was worried i'd feel like i was wasting the last three years. But so far loving it =)

Sounds great and glad your enjoying it
Are there plenty of slimming world things on the staff menu, I imagine so as they're the cheaper options at spoons anyway

Well this a first, me posting before anyone else in the morning. I was awake at 7am with itchy feet & raring to go. Having a rest day today from exercise & suprisingly dont feel too bad from yesterdays JM 6 pack, so I think Im over the aching muscles!
Off bra shopping again & DH coming with me, but he's going to park himself in Costa & read the paper as he's been ordered to rest by the physio as has a dodgy neck after his crash & needs to be fit for the charity ride!

Good luck with 14 days on plan 100% & no alcohol Nikki......you can do it! x

Good luck bra shopping, hope your oh is okay, that sounds quite nasty bless him.


yesterday 100% red, 2 hea, 2 heb, 13 syn....was only going to have 10 but then a hot chocolate called me and I couldn't help but pop a couple of marshmallows in hehe

had a weird night last night, as I was dropping off to sleep had a bit of a bad dream and woke up actually screaming, scared my boyfriend half to death lol

Thats horrible. I hate scary dreams. U ok??

It was really weird, took me a while to realise it wasn't a dream as well, as in my dream we were in bed, it was only when I realised we were in our room and the room in my dream wasn't ours that I felt better.... but my heart was going for a while. I'm fine now. First time I've ever actually screamed while having a dream though, wondering if maybe I was only half asleep :/ my boyfriends done it once before though and scared the hell out of me so I suppose we're even now!

Must be awful worrying about flooding, we live on the top of a hill so we wouldn't flood ourselves but we could get stranded as the hill has flooded before so people can't get up and down.

Mission unaccomplished on the bra shopping, as couldn't find any that fit properly grr! But bought a lovely pair of wedgies from Next.
I also saw a poster for Star Bars, my fave choccie bar & they're only 250 calories = 12.5 syns, so guess what my choccie fix is tonight!!! x

Can't remember the last time I had a star bar, they're lovely though.

Shame about the bra shopping though

Yikes thats early or late, however you want to look at it! I've always done shift work, so can sympathise with the weird hours, but its surprising how quickly you adapt xx

I've just been surfing around the recipe section as DH watching 8 out of 10 Cats & me no likey & I came across an ice cream recipe & am making it now. Here's what I did.......

Add all these ingredients into your ice-cream maker......large tub of 0% Greek yogurt, 2 x vanilla muller yogurts, 1 x cherry muller yogurt, 1 x raspberry & cranberry muller yogurt, 1 x bag of frozen summer berries & some sweetener.......lookin & tasting good so far!

Feeling super happy went out with my friend and her little boy today and we got to pizza hut and the menu is shocking!! So we got up and walked out..... so we went to the harvester instead.

It was delicious. I had simply chicken and jacket potato and a huge salad. Syns were 3 on the red devil sauce and I think i'll count 1 for any oil on grill, this was recommended on the SW website so all in all 4 syns for a delicious lunch and exercise was 4 hours walking around town!!

Got myself some gluten free/wheat free pasta off my friend today too so im going to make a nice tomato/garlic/onion pasta bake for my dinner and I have my frozen curley wirley for later.

I've managed to distract myself by buying 8 DVDs from HMV!!! Movie night

 

[kim63]

Good choices there Nikki! What movies did you get? x

Sounds lovely, my mum made one the other week with fromage frai, orange mullers, sweetener and blueberries, it was very nice, but a little icey in places as she didn't leave it in long enough before freezing

Well done for getting up and leaving, I'm going to pizza hut on the 9th and I'm planning on being very naughty! But its a nightmare when your being good, especially since the changed the pasta menu

 

[Nikki<3]

I picked up 3 bluray chart ones.... Woman in Black, Hugo & Tin Tin.

2 other blu rays - The Tourist and Larry Crowne

3 Cheapies (3 for £5!!! BRAGAIN)..... Torque, Without a paddle and casino royale.

We were so dissapointed in the menu its all pizza and only 4 pasta dishes! They do pizzas under 500 cals now but they look wafer thin. I think if I hadn't only just got back on the wagon then i'd probably have had a pizza but i've had my 2 off plan days this week already and ive got 14 on plan days to complete now!

 

[kim63]

WOWEE........the 'ice-cream' is fantasic! Cant wait to eat a big pot of it after my Spagetti Bolognese x

 

[donna88]

I feel sick! I've just found out my nanna has been mugged while walking with my niece he pushed her over and she's broken her wrist. I'm so fuming and at the same time worried

hun thats awful! Big hugs for you. Are you going to go see her, is she at hospital?? Did they catch who ever did it?

so sorry to hear this hun xx thinking of her xx

 

[donna88]

I don't really know any details, my Auntie called but she didn't know much either as my mum is with her at the hospital at the moment. Apparently she is coming home soon though, my brother is going to stop with her tonight as she's worried about him having her house keys! They haven't caught him yet, I really hope they do! Not sure what's best to do, I just want to go see her but I don't want to crowd her either, going to ask my mum when I can get hold of her and ask if she thinks its better if we go round or not.

It's awful though, I know its awful whoever it happens to, but she very rarely leaves the house, after this she's going to be scared to!!! I'm so angry and still really worried I just want my mum or brother to get back to me so I know she's okay, but obviously I know there with nanna and that's more important at the moment

 

[lilprincessvic]

That's horrible donna. There's some really awful people out there x
