Yippee, I lost 1.5lb this week
Considering no exercise due to this dreadful cold I have had, it's all good
Think I might treat myself to a new outfit for Mothers Day, next weekend, and our trip to Kent to see family
Dare I try on size 14, or will i depress myself if they don't fit!!!!

Thanks,Nikki.

Had some awful news last night, youngest daughter rang (she's 21 in April) and told me she had her drink spiked on Friday night. She was fortunate that friends looked after her but she assures me she wasn't drunk (was supposed to be filming a dance video the next day) and her friends said she couldn't move her body and had clearly been drugged.Can not remember anything, and has had her camera stolen.
Thank god they looked after her!
One of the girls even rang her own Mum at 2am for help, bless!
Nobody rang us but I suppose we couldn't have done anything, but worry, as Guildford is a long way.
After being constantly sick for 24 hours she seems ok now, but thank god she was kept safe by her friends:sigh:
Bless her, she rarely goes out and wont be again!
She is going to "Choccywoccydoodah" in Brighton today, otherwise known as "chocolate heaven", for a friend's 21st celebration.Hope she can stomach all that chocolate!

Oh gosh, I do hope she is ok! I remember my friend had hers spiked once we ended up in A&E and I rang my mum for help instead of hers!

Wow that chocolate heaven sounds lovely, I would love that! Mmmmm.

[Holidaygirl10]

Well the good news is I am feeling so much better I have set a date to return to work 26th April.
There are lots of Bank holidays and days I can take off with a/leave I have left to enable me to do a 3 or 4 day week for a while!
Bully is still in there, but why should I go on half pay while she sits in there(disliked by everyone!)and still causing trouble!
Hopefully she will get disciplined as my appeal against the grievance outcome will be heard with my advisor there, and not me. Once they find her fully rather than partially guilty (a technicality as someone can't be partially guilty of being a bully, employer got it wrong, to avoid disciplining her!)
If necessary I shall just brave it and show how I am a better person than her
Negotiations hopefully will start soon, Mr P is dealing with it all, for me, bless him
I don't think anyone reads my diary, think I am a bit of an oldie on here, compared to everyone else,!
It helps me to rant,anyway:sigh:

Really enjoyed chicken cacciatore last night, yummy
Went into town today, had CBT,and did some shopping with my daughter who is home until Friday.
Didn't buy myself an outfit, but bought daughter some clothes! Just can't buy myself things when I can treat her,instead!
Really want to wait until I lose more weight before treating myself.It seems a waste to buy things which I don't want to wear for long,if you see what I mean

Oh thanks Nikki, it's lovely having her home. She has gone out tonight,with the girls, but does deserve it as she has been working really hard on her course work
You dinner sounds nice, I did not enjoy my quorn bolognese at all! Hubbie sitting there eating ribs didn't help, hehe!

 

[Holidaygirl10]

Oh bless you, thanks for replying, I often feel I am wittering on to myself (and Nikki, bless her, who has been a wonderful support!)
I am really pleased with my progress, slow but sure
Mother's day may prove a problem as going out, with 2 of my 3 children and
my elderly mother in Kent! Might stick to the roast dinner, shouldn't be too bad
They don't do anything even slightly low fat in the place where we are going!!!
Oh well,it's only 1 day and atleast I get to see 2 of my 3 children(son going to a stag weekend!)
Congrats on your weight loss so far, stay positive and you will get there
I really appreciate your message and always here for support, if you need it
