Well I just wanted to share with you all that I have a new Job...
:bliss:
I start on Monday & Its for a receptionist in a garage, so quite excited about that.

I know now I will be even more determined to lose this weight, a new me & a new job.

Although me mam is still not speaking to me, see what you guys think about whats went on.

Right here goes... :rolleyes:

Last Wednesday me mam took her car for its mot & it failed on a couple of things so she took it to a man who she knew to get the work sorted, but couldnt get it booked in until today so she decided she wasn't gonna drive the car at all, it was nothing major that it failed on & was still drive-able but me mam being me mam didnt wanna risk getting pulled, so she asked if she could borrow my car for last sat, sun & mon when she was on early mornings, I am very funny bout people driving my car, it took me a long time to let Keith drive it even though he is a fab driver, my car is my baby.

Me mam drives a 1.0 litre & mine is a 1.2, so I said yes (me mam has only past her test a year ago & she still feeds the wheel but thats just the way she drives but everyone has their own way of driving) although I wanted to take her out on a practice run to see how she was in the car, so last wednesday afternoon, we went to a trading estate, she got in driving seat & asked if the seat went up in height, mine doesnt (I have a punto) but me mam's car does (she has a corsa) so she started driving the car, before she took off she was over revving the car so I said " you dont need to put your foot right down just touch it slightly" then she said "this feels weird to drive" but she has never driven any other car than her own. She came to the end of the road & she broke, which was like a mini emergency stop, I said " mam u dont need to put pressure on the brake just touch it slightly" she said "its totally different to my car & I am only learning" she isn't only learning though, whats she gonna do stick with corsa's all her life to avoid getting a different car coz she isn't used to them, so then said go into this car park & reverse as the reverse is different in my car to hers, I put my 'tart' button on so she could feel how light the steering goes, (if anyone owns a punto u will know what I mean)..

So she kept revving the tits off my car so I said again raising my voice slightly " mam watch your revs only touch it slighty" then she came out the car park & stopped then turned right & proper revved the engine, it was so loud, I cringed big time, my poor car. So I said "MAM, WATCH WHAT UR DOING with ur revs" I raised my voice but didnt shout. Anyway she screamed "AWWW I'M NOT HAVING U SHOUTING, U HAVE NO PATIENCE, THAT'S IT DOESNT MATTER, FORGET IT. So I said " I wasnt shouting I am just saying watch what ur doing", she kept screaming at me saying I have no patience, she is only learning, her car is different to mine, she was like a bloody woman possessed.
So I drove home, both in silence, got home I went to my room & shut the door, anyway the atmosphere in the house is unreal now.

When I told me dad he said she shouldnt take out her habits on your car, as me mam does rev her car more than I do mine, maybe as mine is slightly more powerful I dont know. I text her on the thursday nite to see if she wanted picking up & she ignored me.
On mothers day I bought her a bouquet & put £20 in her card, I was staying at keiths so I text her happy mothers day, she replied 6 hours later saying thanks, she also gave me the money back saying she didnt want it.

Anyway on Monday I had enough, I slept at Keiths most of last week to stay out the way, monday night I asked her how much I owed her for board, lottery, etc & she blanked me, I said "did u hear me" she shouted "YES" I said "how long u gonna keep this up for" she replied " how long is it gonna take for u to say sorry?" I said I have nothing to say sorry for, you the one who was shouting & revving the tits off my car, she then started to take the piss but in a serios way going "me revs, me revs, ur gonna break me car, Which I never ever said. I just said mam if the shoe was on the other foot & I was doing that to your car then you would say something to me, if you kept revving my car like u did u could of burnt my clutch out. She should say sorry to me.

Anyway I have tried a few times to speak & she totally ignores me. I hate being in the house when she is in as there is such an atmosphere. I got really upset about it yesterday & had a good cry, regardless what has happened me & me mam are really close & have never fell out like this before.
Life is too short I say but me mam is so stubborn & it doesnt take much for her to fly off the handle lately, me dad & keith think the same, she must be going through the cahnge I think.

Anyway Keith is staying tonight so will see how she reacts to him as normally whan he hasnt been over for a few days me mam misses him as they get on really well. If she ignores him coz of me I will kick off.

I just wish I had my own place, I hate living here while she is ignoring me, I have tried so many times, there is only so much trying I can do and I havent done anything wrong thats what I cant understand..

Whats your views?????? :help2:

Sorry if its took ages for u to read..

Hey Kelly... I know I shouldn't have but I did giggle a bit through that cos i'd be a bit impatient with my own mam....

I would just say sorry to her... even if ya don't think you were in the wrong... at least it would be over then and life if far too short to be arguing especially seen as you always get on so well anyway!!!!

hope you sort it soon

Congrats on the new job too!!!

love
 
Congratulations on your new job:)

Sorry you have fallen out with your Mum...

I am overly sensitive with my car so fully understand how your reacted...But it is not worth falling out over.


Could be your Mum is feeling she does not measure up in some way...or suffering from the empty next syndrome:confused:

You have your own life now and independent with your future stretching out before you....and perhaps she is feeling redundant and going through the change which can be pretty tough hormonally on some women.

It is easy to forget as you are (were) the 'child' and used to getting encouragement and help that perhaps your Mum now just needs a little bit of encouragement and support when it comes to her driving.

Give her a big hug and make up as you only ever have the one Mum and life is too short to fall out.

Love Mini xxx
 
still happening....

Hiya Hun,

This have never happened to me before, have u got sorted?

X

Hi Kel,

No its still happening...wonder if I should go to the doctors?

CDC said some people have it for months before it goes back to normal. Have you heard of this before?

Amina xx
 
Ahh Kel poor you i can def see your point not happy abut others driving my car either but life is too short give her a big hug and sort it out xxxxxxxx
 
Hi Kel,

It is quite a common problem, it happened to me, and I panicked but after 3 months it settled down, I had various explanations for it, the main one being that it kick starts all the hormones into working again and can make you very fertile, just be extra careful;) and if you are worried then see your GP
 
Hiya all, :D

Well my Weigh In today & I stayed the same, Which is fab as I haven't been good at all. :eek:

So it's a new week & I will be good this week, I want to lose a stone then my treat is to get my hair done & it's desperate so that's my incentive.

My mam still isn't speaking to me, its getting beyond a joke now, it's 2 weeks tomorrow, can't say I haven't tried either..

My job is going good, I have settled in fab & get on with everyone, I get a bit flustered when 3/4 lines are ringing at once but will soon get the hang of it, big day tomorrow as the girl who has been sitting with me is going in the offices so I am on the reception by MYSELF.... :boohoo:

Thanks for listening..

Hugs

Kel

Hi Kel,

That is good news that you stayed the same this week considering you have said you have not been good:)

Sorry to hear yourself and your mother have not made up, looks like it could be a stand off:sigh:

Good to hear your settling into your new job and it does take times to settle in...next week you will be an old hand at it:D

Love Mini xxx
 
Hiya Everyone, :D

God I have missed you all & the advice..
Well been off diet for a few weeks now & put some weight back on which is daft of me. :eek:

I have got some supply of CD & decided I must shift some lard, I feel like crap..

I am getting myself in a rut, losing it & putting it on etc & frankly I am sick of it, just cheating myself..

I know I cant stick to CD 100% because of my medication but I am having a small bowl of cereal in morning then a shake for dinner & something small for tea with a yoghurt & drinking as much water as I can.
I just hope I lose weight, if not then I will try to do 2 shakes a day.

Well all of you who know about my 'argument' with me mam, well its still on-going. She speaks to me when she has too but we havent held a conversation, we have had a few shouting arguments since the last time I have been on, she has even had an argument with Keith.
Thats why I havent been on here for ages as I have practically lived over my boyfriends as the atmosphere in this house is awful.
I really wanna move out & get a place of my own, sometimes it doesnt even feel like she is my mam, I know that may sound weird but the arguing has gone on for that long I think its a lot harder to make up now. From us being so close to us being very distant is really upsetting but 'hey ho' I have tried so many times & I am sick of trying, If I ask her a question she answers without an attitude so thats a bonus..

So I have been feeling really down these past few weeks folks, been quite depressed about life & also had a few medical appointments about my injury & I went to see an orthapedic expert & he said my injury wont get any worse but it WONT get any better so the thought of me on tablets & me in pain every day, depresses me too, so I have to shake myself up, stop comfort eating & lose some weight coz thats depressing me now too.

The only good thing in my life at the moment is Keith, :D
he has been there for me when I have needed a shoulder to cry on & every hospital appointment he has taken time off work to be there for me.
So I have alot of catching up to do on here, bet I have missed so much..

GOOD TO BE BACK TO MY LITTLE FAMILY OF DIET BUDDIES..
:grouphugg:
 
Hiya All, :D

Haven't been on here again for a while,

I have just decided to eat 'normal' but healthy, eat lots of fruit & cut out the junk,

I lost 3lb last week so its a start, I still have tetra's to use so everything is good..

Its nearly the summer, I cant believe how fast this year is going. :eek:

I have to say, I do have a problem with my portions & I really do eat the wrong food so I have bought some slimming tablets as a last resort..

I know they are a quick fix but we will see how I go..
They might not work with the medication I am on but I can only try, Will keep you updated..

ANYBODY ELSE TRIED ANY SLIMMING TABLETS BEFORE & HAVE THEY WORKED FOR YOU??

Hello Kelly

Remember me, I am from Hartlepool as well I did CD last year but didn't stick at it very well.

Today is day 1 for me again on CD and i have every incentive as my hubby is working abroad and is home in 8 weeks.

i have already wasted 4 weeks whjile he has been gone and not lost any weight, so here goes!!!

Keep in touch
 
Dear Kelly,

Proud of you for persevering for so long and never giving up despite so many ups and downs. I would have probably blown it completely by now, but you have held on and are staying healthy and TRYING atleast! Full marks to you for that! Very soon you will be where you want to be! Just hold on and take it one day at a time! All the very best!! xxx
 
THE STRANGER RETURNS...

WELL HELLO YOU LOT..... :D


I Have missed the crack on here, I know I have been a bit of a stranger lately but been alot going on at the moment,

WELL... I have just turned 30 last Sat 13th, was fab...
:party0036:

Lots of meals & Vodka was on the go, my birthday went on for 5 days, lol...

Well it's all over & done with now & back to reality, I have only put 2lb on which wasnt bad but have to confess all the weight I had lost before has slowly crept back on & I am at my heaviest now.
I am so angry with myself for putting the weight back on & more :mad:

I have quite a few packs left so having at least 2 a day to get back into the swing of things, cant go on it 100% like I have said before coz of my medication.

I have been saying for months I was going to lose 3st for my 30th, that was my incentive, but saying & doing is 2 different things.

For those who knew about the argument with me mam its STILL on-going & it's got worse. :cry:
I barely live at home now, I stay at keiths 5 nights a week, he has been fab, god knows what I would of done without him..
Me mam never even said 'happy birthday' to me in person when I came over on my birthday she text me which was upsetting but I vowed to not cry & let it spoil my day.

I must come on here more often as to be honest if I had support of you guys I think it would be easier on my diet, but I comfort eat & the amount of times I have cried over things over the past few months & reached for chocolate or cake is shocking.

I think about the future all the time such as xmas as I love xmas & I always stay at home xmas eve, this yr I wont the way things are with me mam, it's just so uncomfortable, even keith hates coming over because of the atmosphere & he used to be here all the time. :cry:

The pc is in me mams room so I try to be quick when I am on it, I shouldnt have to as its all our pc, so I am treating myself this weekend to a laptop so hopefully I will be on here a lot more...

Thanks for listening to me mumble on, :)


Love

Kel

Merry Xmas to You all..

HIYA ALL, :)

First of all I wanna say a HUGE Merry Christmas to everyone & All the best fo 2008..:party0019:

Well I have made a decision for 2008 & I AM going to lose weight, I know it's hard but I so need to do this, Xmas is a bad time to start a diet as there is too much food and drink around, so the 2nd week in January is gonna be a new start for me..

I have been looking on here at some of the before & after pics, :worthy:
WOW.. Fantastic, Think I might print a few out & stick them to my wall to spure me on..

I love xmas but kinda dreading this one with things being as they are at home as things no better with me mam, (yes it's still going on) so for the 1st time ever I am sleeping out on xmas eve..

My job is going great I have got a promotion (sort of), which I love, alot to learn but love a challenge..

I am still having treatment for my back/neck, went in hospital about a month ago for injections in the side of my neck which helped, so the next step the pain specialist said is maybe to laser all the nerves from my back so I dont feel much pain daily, so fingers crossed.
My claim is coming to some kind of closure thank god too...

So 2008, I want a house, to get engaged hopefully & to lose lots of weight so I look gorgeous.. lol...

Just wanted to ask you all, I was on CD, do I go back on CD or slimfast, I do want quick results & hopefully by march have lost at least 2 stone.. any ideas????


Hugs

Kel

Hello, Good luck on your restart. I know how hard it is as I lost 3 stone at the beginning of this year and have put it all back on :cry:.
I am retsrting cambridge today. I'd personally recommend cambridge over slim fast for the quicker results.
Take care and keep us posted on your progress.
