[xGeordieGirlx]

Thanks Carlz...I only get half an hour too...awful isn't it?

Guys, my Mammy's birthday weekend is going great...though I'm slightly hungover...didn't eat too bad yesterday though I found the best hangover almost-cure....cold pizza for brekki....you need to slap my wrists when I'm back on plan on Monday...Linzi is a bbaaaadd girl!!

Speak to you all on Mon and have a fab weekend. xx

 

[xGeordieGirlx]

Well I'm back from a fab weekend

Had 4 days off plan and am itching to get back on it tomorrow.

I've eaten a load of utter rubbish these last 4 days, and drank a lot too....so I feel like a complete utter heffa! Defo a gain coming for me on Friday!

But a fab weekend it was. Friday was my Mammy's 50th...we had all of the family round for a little tea party...got verry drunk but my Mam loved it. She got totally spoilt

Then Sat I was very hungover so the train journey to London was full of food...then some champaz to make myself better. We got to our hotel and it was fab. We stayed at the Hilton Metropole just on edgware road. It was lush. Massive room. Nice view. Close to everything. And cheap...would defo stay there again!

Sister Act was amazing. Such a shame Whoopi had to go home as her Mum had a severe stroke...but the understudy who played Mother Superior was fab so all wasn't lost. The one who played Deloris was amazing too...and Simon Webbe...just wow. Simply wow. Then to top it off, we saw Dawn French who was there to see it too. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Dawn French, she's so fab and it made my weekend to see her!!

Then we got back to our hotel and they had put champaz and chocolate covered strawberries in our room for the mothers bday. Mmm lovely

Then on Sun we did lots of shopping. Hit Harrods, Covent Garden and Oxford Street. My bank balance is right down but luckily its pay day tomorrow.

Got back last night and slept loads...my legs are now KILLING me from all the walking we did in London (though, I am now a MASTER at the tube system haha...I would LOVE to live in London!) and then test drove a car today!! Hoping to get one this week (fingers crossed) and had a lovely takeaway to celebrate the end of the birthday weekend/my hols from work.

Added some photos from my weekend

Back to work tomorrow boo...not excited for my early getty up..but lookin forward to gettin back into a routine and back on plan. Lots of damage limitation tomorrow/Wed/Thurs for WI on Fri. Going the gym Wed and Thurs cos I'm car shopping tomorrow.

10 weeks tomorrow til Egypt so hoping to lose around 2lbs a week from next week so that I've hopefully hit target to fit into my bikini!! Want to be skinny so I'm gonna stick to plan and stick to gym big style til hols

Hope everyone's had a fab bank hol weekend...I'm off to bed to watch a film and get an early night for workies tomorrow!! xx

Hello Geordiegirl - loving your diary. The photos you posted were great. You look slim and gorgeous. Your mum looks lovely too. What a great daughter you are, making a fuss of your mum like that. She must be very proud. Glad you had a swell time in the big smoke. I love Dawn French too! Keep posting, ZXXX

 

[Carlz1983]

Is the special K sustain nice? I will have to have a look in Tesco having to change everything in my cupboard and learning to cook again is proving to be harder than I thought! Chicken curry sounds great will have to try it! x

 

[xGeordieGirlx]

Firstly would like to say sorry for taking so long to reply to all of these. I haven't been on too much cos I can't get on at work anymore, and every night I've been out looking for a car. I'm back now and won't rudely ignore these and will be a bit more talkative!

oh Linzi...i hope my Megan grows up to be just like you!!! I love the picture of you and your Mum, you are so alike!

Right - operation bikini here we come...

View attachment 8909

Aww your Megan will grow up to be a lot better than me and she'll spoil you I'm sure OMG you really think we are alike? This isn't good, people normally say I don't look like either of my 'rents so lookin like the mother is a surprise!! Operation Bikini DEFINATELY. I NEED to get to target for hollies..my friend is a gym and swim freak atm and is skinny so I don't wanna be her "fat friend" lol. You having a good week? xx

Half an hour is mean! I have now got a toaster tho, so had beans on one slice of bread! Tomorrow... god knows! Have u seen those John west Tuna Snack packs they are lush but I have no idea how much they are will be back when I find out! If I find out any decent quick meals will let you know!

Half an hour is defo mean! Thought I take longer if I go out cos everyone else does...if I stay at my desk I linger over my lunch too haha. You can never do enough in half an hour though! Oooh your so lucky to have a toaster we aren't allowed anything that will make a smell. Rubbish!! I have saw those Tuna Snack packs, prob expensive as most John West ones are, but may have a look out for them I shall keep an eye out also! Oh, in the Oct SW mag, in the part where they tell you new HEBs/new foods etc, there's Elmwood Chicken Chunks from the Co-op..I had some today and they were beauuutiful - £2.50 but worth it. Mmm xx

Hi Krupskaya, how are you doing?! Aww thanks I'm defo not slim and gorgeous but thanks for saying it my mammy is lovely, she had a lovely time in London. Dawn French is my idol, I completely love her. When I saw her I was like OMG OMG OMG and almost gave myself a panic attack haha. Wanted to see her at the end but didn't boo!! xx

Hey Carlz the special k sustain is okay, I like the clusters in it. 28g is never enough though haha. Chicken curry is lovely. I like things extra spicy so I probably kill my taste buds with the amount of chilli and curry powder I put in, but its defo worth a try xx

Hi Geordiegirl
I think you've done so well with so many distractions going on. I'm sure you will lose at least the 2 1/2 ib you put on this week.
Your weekend sounded wonderful and you look stunning in your photos and shouldnt put yourself down so much.
Good luck this week and thanks for writing your diary. It so helps me keep focus
