Kdma's Diary...Restarting today 21st April

£340 is a lot of money. What does 30 points equate to in terms of a qualification? I did my masters degree part time at Lincoln Uni and it was £1800 a year for two years then £300 for my dissertation. Think it's gone up a bit since then though.

An honours degree with the Open University is 360 points....
 
Hmm, yes, it is pricey then. Not as pricey as doing a full time degree at uni but then their fixed costs must be a lot lower as well.
 
Well I went over a little, but a small enough over to be able to make up the points today, so not the end of the world. It was so yummy.

My poor husband has to put up with me with everything saying that will be a lot of points and I just need to work out the points first.

Have planned the food today as want a roast. Another meal I love.

Got famillies days at school this week where you have dinner with your children, so going there on Tuesday and Thursday. These may be difficult to point but will try my hardest on these. Will use tham as my main meal and have a sandwich or soup or like for tea.
 
sounds like you have everything planned :D you can get Batchelors low fat condensed chicken or mushroom soup and the whole tin is only 2 points and extremely filling :D i normally have that and one slice of bread filled with salad and i'm set for the night :) lovely now its cold as well :)

Roast is easily doable within your points.. its just the roasties and your choice of meat that really adds the points on.. hope you enjoy it anyway :)
 
I love my roast dinners! I am sure I never point the meat right though. Next time I have one I will check in here lol.

I am glad you are feeling more positive :) Goodluck for this week :)
 
Thats really interesting. I am interested in working in special needs. I have a personal interest as my son has Aspergers and Dyspraxia. It is very difficult to get into round here, but I hope the NVQ will help. Agree about cost of OU.

A big part of the difficulty in getting into schools is they like to know the personalities of their support staff especially their SEN staff. I know at our school a lot of posts are advertised internally for just this reason. We did recently appoint from outside - The TA was very highly qualified on paper - but she couldnt relate to the child she was supporting at all and it was a disaster - something you probably can relate to as a parent of a child with SEN's - it takes a special kind of person, which is something that doesnt always come across at interview!

Well done on being so focused with yr points - buffets are my nightmare! Hope you enjoyed yr roast dinner! :D
 
I ca see what you are saying and agree with you at most, but we have experiance the oposite at times with our son. We have had a rollercoaster of a battle to get him the right help. He has had 1:1's who have been terrible and were given the jobs as they were already on the payrol. The last 2 years have been great. Last year his teacher was wonderful and fought with me and an internal candidate was employed to work with him who was excellent. She then helped ge someone to work with him this year. She was external and is equally excellent. His new teacher is also very good.

I have voluteered in a school for a year and will continue to do so until a suitable vacancy arises. I would only want to be employed if I was the correct person for the child as have seen both ways. there are lots of relief Ta's in the school, so think it will be some time until I will get a job, but I love working with the children as a volunteer, so not all bad.

Food wise. Good day yesterday and so far so good today. Having dinner with my daughter at school tomorrow. She is so excited bless her. It will be wierd for me though.
 
Wi this morning. I have been good this week, so really hoping. The only thing which I am not sure if I pointed correct is dinner yesterday with my dauhter at school. It was cottage pie and veg and tin fruit cocktail. The cottage pie had cheese on it though.

The trousers I wear to wi were a bit tight when I first started and now I can put them on without openin the zip and button. It is great seeing the difference.
 
Goodluck :)
 
Good luck for WI if it hasnt already been! And how did it go if you have?

Well done on the loose clothes, that sort of thing always makes my day!x
 
hope it went well hun

suz x
 
Well I have been. I lost 7.5 pounds., but now I am really worried and not sure what to do. The leader as a look of shock on her face made me get of and on and then said is there a reason for this because if not I am really worried as this is not right. I have been good this week went wrong a couple of times, but made it up the next day, but have not gone under points.

Feeling a bit emotional now. Really want to lose weight but want it to be prely because I am eating the correct amounts.

Hubby said to go to Dr to reassure myself, but will they think I am daft or over-reacting I don't know. I have felt for a few days that TOTM is on way, but it hasn't arrived, but apart from that I feel fine.

Really don't want to diet at moment. Sorry must sound terrible and over-reactive, but it was just the look of horror on her face.
 
Well, firstly well done on a great loss. Secondly, .I think it is unfair of the leader to scare you like that. My sister was 13st and a couple of the weeks she lost 6lbs. She just had a good week. I would try not to worry. If you lose another huge amount then maybe a trip to the doc would be good but I am sure it will slow down.

If i remember right you have had a couple of slow weeks haven't you? Maybe your body is just catching up with itself?

Well done on your loss though :)
 
I'm glad it helped. You are doing fantastically!
