morning all. just about as im writing at 11:58 am. im having such a manic morning arrrrgh. im having to keep stopping this and starting lol.
really pleased for you Gem - it does feel good
however i often feel quite private about it, like i dont want to admit it.
strangely enough i seem to have shrunk quite rapidly. my mum was going crazy with adoration last night saying that apparently she'd dreamed of the day i would be slim so i could enjoy my clothes and not cry about not looking good in them. and i tried on some of my clothes - like the red dress i bought for cyprus. it was tight, now it's loose! actually loose. i can stick half my arm down the side. interesting... anyway im not complaining, im just a bit shocked lol. it must be weight coming off my back.
scales said 13st 3 this morning yay.
wish i could have a bloomin weekend abz, im working again this one. if anyone's going to be at the national wedding show NEC brum let me know lol. x

Hi there - only me folks. Well, the plot thickens - my boss came up to me today and said "Well Gem, what's the secret then - all that weightloss. Have you been on a diet" So I told her I don't do diets, just careful healthy eating and added for good measure "Easy peasy really" What a ***** I was Now I daren't put it all back on again!!!
Abz - You work long hours. I hope you enjoy your job x
Elle - You don't look anywhere near 13 stone in your photos. You look VERY trim. x
Taz - You have to look after yourself. Make sure the Doc knows just how you feel and you will get the recovery time - you need it x
Have a nice evening everyone

:character00238: Good morning everyone :character00238:
The dawn chorus is getting much later, well that's the way of things isn't it? I heard the first bird at around 6.10 this morning and it must have been 6.30 before any significant sound was happening
The birds may be heralding the dawn but Mr Sun is very lasy and the light is only just beginning to show.
As I lay in my bed, listening to OH moving around downstairs and not having to get out of bed until I want to, I got to thinking about what a wonder each new day is and here is a whole day stretching in front of me - a blank page to write upon.
I have a whole day ahead of me with no work. I can catch up with a few things I didn't do cos I was away at the weekend so I'll be quite busy today. I'll try to pop in from time to time and see how you are all getting on
Are you up and running already Abz I think I might have beat you to it again but I'm sure you won't be far behind though
Well, I think I have made it up fully with the scales. One pesky squatter to evict today and I will be able to record sts tomorrow. After the weekend I had that's nothing short of a miracle!
Have a good day everyone :character00238:

well i peed on my little ketostick this morning and it was pink. so yay. saw my cdc last night and had a good chat i don't believe in things like ketostix but it's nice to use them for a boost every now and again

i have lots of lovely cd things, starting with porridge for brekkie this morning. but it's a little early for me yet so i think i'll start with a coffee. i got a good night's sleep but i'm still shattered. i have some catching up to do i think

Morning Abz - Glad you're feeling good and all your squatters are being evicted. x
Have I ever told you all about blueberry porridge. The idea is that I stir in a handful of blueberries just at the end of the cooking time to allow the flavour to burst (cooked blueberries have a very different taste to raw). I then put the usual honey and cinnamon on the top and it's YUMMY!!! Just thought I'd share that with you all as I've just had my breckie. x

I slept quite badly last night, have a very painful neck boohoohooooo. So tonight im going to try and get in bed quite early, as I'll need the sleep for the wedding show. they always tire me out.
Abz you should've come with your mate! What a shame x

unfortunately we only really do the bigger shows. Apart from the asian wedding shows the ones after this one this weekend are National Wedding Show at the Olympia in London from Feb 20th - 22nd 09 and the National Wedding Show NEC Birmingham from March 14th-16th. You should try and come to one of those! There is SO much to see and SO many ideas. At the last one there were these girls who had a company called ice girls or ice maidens or something, and what they do is they sell you little mini icecream cones with a little dollop of icecream on top, the colour of which can match your colour scheme, and you can either have it on the table or they come in their pretty dresses and serve them to people during the drinks reception. Our stand was almost nextdoor so people were coming to talk to us with a mouthful of sample icecream cones! haha. So me and one of the other girls on the stand, Carmel, we went and got some for ourselves haha. ofcourse. x

p.s. LOADS of wedding dresses to try on too, and since you'll definitely have reached target by march that will be fun also But dont bother going to london unless you know it by heart and/or have someone to go and stay with. It's ridiculous the money you have to spend and it's not as good as the NEC either...
...not that I'm trying to push you into coming or anything hahaha.
