Hi Daisy,
Yes thanks I'm OK - just been busy with work and was out all day yesterday at a music/poetry festival. Not gone today as I have a stinking cold and feel really rough.
It was so cold there yesterday - had layer upon layer of clothing on but was still freezing - don't think I have ever felt so cold for so long! Hubby has popped out to it for a few hours and I'm sitting in bed with tissues and catching up on dairies etc! Will update my food a bit later. xxx

Ooh! Looks great!
It was pretty good! Although they are quite high on the points, mix it with a good pile of salad and beetroot, and it's not bad for a plateful!

Thanks Emm. Yes need to watch the knees - as long as I avoid twisting movements I seem to be OK with them. The cartilage one feels a lot better for getting it moving again.

Saturday 22nd September
Out all day (and originally planned for all night too), at a local Music/Poetry/Comedy Festival, so this was always going to be an interesting day foodwise. I had planned a weekend off, but we sat there mid afternoon and I thought, well why not jot down what I'm having and then see if it's possible to do this week within points anyway, so I did. After only losing half a pound again, I couldn't face the thought of gaining next week after a weekend splurge.
Breakfast - Total 12PP - one Cereal Bar (2PP), and two and a bit small Sausage Rolls (10PP)
Lunch - from the BBQ - one Chicken Skewer and Salad, third of a Corn on the Cob - Total 5PP - one BBQ'd Chicken Skewer (4PP), Mixed Salad (0PP), third of a BBQ'd Sweetcorn (1PP)
Dinner - we came home at 8 o'clock in the end, not 11 o'clock, as we were freezing cold, the loos onsite were full (eeeuuurgh!) and I felt awful with this sore throat and cold, so we had Chilli with Bread and Butter to dunk in - Total 9PP - small portion of Thursday's Home-made Turkey Chilli (4PP), one slice W/m Bread (2PP), 3 tspns Butter (3PP)
Now for the snacks and drinks!
Snacks - Total 20PP - one packet Cheese and Onion crisps (4PP), one Peperami style Salami Stick (3PP), 1.5 Fun-size Mars Bars (4PP), 2 Lyons Coconut Mallows (5PP), 10 Fruit Pastilles (4PP)
Drinks - Total 12PP - Water, NAS squash, 2 Lattes (4PP) each with good sized tspn Sugar (2PP), can of Strongbow (6PP)
Totals for the day - 58PP!!! 29 dailies and 29 weeklies
Weeklies remaining 2
APs earned - just one for 10 mins walking
APs for the week so far 2

Bleeeuuuggghhhh! Chest is really tight this morning, so not good! Generally feeling pretty bleeuuuggghh really. Doing some extra days at work this week - 4 days instead of 2, as we are really struggling in the office (not enough bodies basically!) and as this job I've applied for will be back to five days a week (although shorter days, better breaks etc.,) I didn't really feel this was a good time to say no to extra days, even though I have felt like crap all weekend.
Anyway, still don't know if I have been shortlisted for an interview. Typical really, they always shortlist really quickly, as they work to a pretty fast time frame, but yesterday the Head of Department was out so they didn't do it! Caught sight of the spreadsheet for the applicants (about 40!) and there were degrees all over it (not next to my name!) so am not feeling very positive about it now tbh. What makes it worse is now people know I've applied they're saying 'Oh you'll be brilliant at it,' which is lovely of them to say, but kind of makes it worse when I don't even know if I'll get any further. Then it occurred to me that they may give me an interview just because they sort of feel they have to give internal applicants an opportunity, even if they don't really think I'm suitable.
Probably better I just don't think about the whole thing at the moment to be honest. Last night's food was pretty bad too - am now minus 22 PP so far for the week - still got three days to go, so going for damage limitation today - on the third cup of green tea, more to come, and loads of water too. Will list the gory details from last night in a moment.
Really. just. want. chocolate.

Morning Moon,are we allowed to know your first name?i know not everyone likes to share or some like their 'fake name' anyhow(like me ;0) )
Sorry to hear you are feeling under the weather more so now and typical that you have to be working extra shifts whilst so poorly! I hope you soon feel 100% better.
Erm I don't mean to be rude but really stop the negative vibes with the job Hun,that won't bode well in the interview as if you think you don't deserve it or the interview is 'only a favour' you won't be at your best and giving it your all!
Don't mean to nag,am trying to be helpful :0)

Morning Daisy,
Yep, my first name is Pat, no problems about comng out of the minmins closet!
I was just thinking that I'm pretty certain that this is the first cold I have had since I started SW/WW nearly a year ago, so that's pretty good, especially working in a school where you tend to get exposed to plenty of germs. I definitely used to get them a lot more often.
Yep, you're right about kicking out the negative vibes. I do 'interview' well actually - I know some people suffer and are really nervous, but I've always been lucky there. I think it was just that while I was walking home thinking about it, it suddenly occurred to me that they may feel 'obliged' to give me an interview, and that would be worse than not getting one! But I did then think well I wouldn't know either way, so I would just give it my all and make them see that they needed to take me on and lucky they didn't let me slip through the net!
I'm usually a pretty 'glass half full' kind of person, so don't know why I'm letting this get to me. Think it's an accumulation of the whole year so far.

Hi Pat *waves* :0)
It could well be because you've had a lot gone on this year plus you're poorly so things do tend to feel worse or we feel lousy anyhow so could be a mixture of things there!
Sounds like you will do well in the interview then.
And well done for not having a cold in a long time considering you work with children that is pretty good going!
