Sorry to hear you are struggling today, Becks. An early night and taking yourself away from the food is sometimes the best way. New week tomorrow and the all important lay in. I too am REALLY looking forward to getting a bit of lay in tomorrow.

Me too! It's just hit me like a brick wall, prob cos I know that I don't have to get up at 6:30 and no work either. Hopefully I'll be refreshed ready to meet my mam for lunch for her birthday and then my friends leaving drinks! Hooray for 6 weeks hols on the horizon! X

Wow 6 weeks holiday. YOu must be looking forward to that so much. When I hear about 6 week holidays I always end up thinking i took the wrong career path and then I remember all the extra hours, work and stress that is expected from you the rest of the time and I am pretty sure I didn't... Have you got anything planned while you are off? Other than Berlin of course.

To be honest I'm not usually a big fan of the summer holidays. Of course at this point in the year I'm Desperate for them but when they arrive, after a week I get fed up and want to be back doing something useful! I don't have many friends who are teachers so most people are at work, keeping myself occupied usually involves spending money and so I end up cleaning a lot cos I feel guilty if I do nowt all day while my boyfriend is working and I HATE cleaning. I know it sounds ungrateful but I think I just like having structure and company. So this year I've volunteered with a couple of other staff to take some of our kids out on day trips the first 3 Tuesday's of the hols, got Berlin 4th week and last 2 weeks I'm doing summer school, which is actually only 9:30-12:30 but enough to make me feel I've done something a bit more purposeful with my time off! Summer school is also a bit of easy money which will help in lead up to Xmas.
Woken up after a lovely 10 and 1/2 hour sleep. Gonna try to make some better choices today, hopefully lunch will be somewhere I can eat well and I'm planning to line my tummy with Tina pasta before going out for drinks tonight. I'm not gonna bother counting alcohol points this week as it will make sticking to plan completely in achievable given the amount going on- barbecue on Thursday and works night out too! - so just food points to be counted. I'll make this day one and try again. Supermarket shop later on and no bad stuff allowed. Xx

That sounds like a pretty epic and good night's sleep. I was woken up pretty early by some cats fighting outside so had to rush down in my dressing gown incase it was either of mine only to find both of mine fast alseep and purring on the sofa. I am thinking once I have washed my hair dye off an afternoon nap might be in order later...
Sounds like you have lots organised to keep you busy when your on leave. I guess it must be quite difficult to have so much holiday in one go when everyone else is still at work. I used to work pretty peculiar shift work so would often be at home during the day either on day off or before an 18 hour night shift (eek! don't miss those) while OH was at work and I used to feel pretty guilty if I did "fun" rather than "useful" stuff.
What dinners have you got planned for this week? Are you still going through your newer cookbooks for ideas?

I'm bright as a button, stuck to vodka and had a couple if cosmos towards the end, didn't feel drink at all really. I think I was more restrained because it was one of those nights where you only know one person really well and that is the person who the whole thing is for and the others you kind of know a bit or not at all do you are doing a lot of small talk and I sometimes find these nights quite draining so left around midnight but was up with the boyf til late watching rubbish tv in bed and talking nonsense!
Food wise I've been terrible but off to get shop just now and got lots of lovely things planned this week. I'll catch up properly later!

Right totally crap weekend for food, so let's just gloss over that!
Today hasnt been perfect but not sooo bad I think. I'll write it out at end of the day but I'm not pointing til Friday when I have time to properly dedicate some time to myself and diet. I am gonna try to be good til then but if some quiche or cake finds it way into my mouth then so be it!
