'BIG' .......Bring on the summer :D

[Ronsy]

Hanz, Enjoy your film what are you going to see? I trust your boss is going to compensate you for your war wounds, a nice little spa day would be good to make up for the trauma they caused you.

Nee, you are not a bad person! These things happen and she needs to go to a forever home where she can learn to relax and trust people. The poor toot sounds like one of my dogs, it took ages for her to settle down. She is still a bit skittish but at least she just runs and hides behind us now when she gets scared. Ask if the RSPCA will let you know where she ends up so you know she is okay. What type of dog is she? there is also the Dogs trust you can contact them and see if they can help out. Have I misunderstood are you having to leave because of her?

Getting nervous, I had a call a few mins ago to tell me my Tarot test calls will be after 8pm tonight so not sure what to expect!!

Will let you know how I get on. :vibes:

 

[x Nee x]

Yeh I think we would wanna know where she is, or at least know she has gone to a good home. She is a Lab x Whippet 'I think'. She is absolutely gorgeous.

Reason were leaving is because I lost my job in Dec, so had to go on benefits, they thought I was still getting an income - which I wasnt so didnt pay us properly for around 2 months so fell into rent arrears, and cant get out of it so are now being evicted.... here there is another couple with 3 dogs and dont mind the barking...somewhere else with no dogs may not be so patient

xx

Good luck with the calls, Im sure you will be fab, make sure you let us all know how it goes....remember there is always the chatlines hee hee

Hanz, Thank you, I have certainly tried, just want whats best for all of us.

Get some painkillers if your hurting and defo...spa day Like Ronsy said sounds a great way to compensate

[Ronsy]

Nee I've sent you a PM

 

[Ronsy]

Yay!! I got the job, I am now an official Tarot Reader, still have some admin stuff to do but should be working tomorrow night.

 

[x Nee x]

Yay!! I got the job, I am now an official Tarot Reader, still have some admin stuff to do but should be working tomorrow night.

Yay well done Ronsy Bet your so chuffed

Is it working from home?

xx

 

[judith55]

Well done Ronsy - I hope you really enjoy it. It must be great to be able to work at something you love. xx

Much better news than I got yesterday: until 18 months ago I was the CEO of a large charity and have 25 years of working in my specialist field. Due to TT possibly going to uni I decided that the occasional supply work I get wasn't going to be enough financially but I didn't want to work full-time or as a manager so I applied for a half-time bottom of the ladder post in my old (public sector) organisation in a team I set up 7 years ago. This is a job I am massively over-qualified for but I knew that public sector fair selection means they can't penalize me for this. I didn't think I'd automatically get the job as a lot depends on the interview but I thought I'd have a very good chance. So you can imagine my horror to get an e-mail saying I wasn't short-listed. What?? You have to be kidding me??!!**** I am gutted. What a complete and utter knock-back. Luckily I'm not desperate financially but I can't help but be hurt, humiliated and angry. I'm going to phone to try and get some feedback but even that feels humiliating. I can't help but see my ex-colleague who is now the manager smirking smugly. I am trying (unsuccessfully at the moment) to work out why the karmic universe has decided that this is the right thing for me.

Shame I haven't got a sexy voice like Ronsy otherwise I could try the sexlines...

Oh yeh, and so far off the diet I can't even remember all that I've eaten in the last 3 days. I might just need to lick my wounds for a while before I get back on the waggon.

 

[Ronsy]

Yes Nee it is working from home which is great as I can be here when my OH is onshore. I have decided to work mostly nights as I'm a natural night owl which means we will have every afternoon off and early evening together. At last things seem to be starting to working out.

Judith I had the exact same thing happen to me two weeks ago, and they very also very smug. Just be glad you did not make it to the interview stage. I did and it was torture as the people I had previously trained sat there in judgement of me. Their excuse was I did not understand the job (I did it for 9 years) my OH said to shrug it off and not lower myself to their level as they are not worth the energy, and that something better will turn up, and now I work from home doing Tarot.

As for your voice, call them they want all kinds of ladies and if I am to believe them the older the better? She told me the girls make £300 + a week which is well worth thinking about.
Plus you work from home doing whatever hours suit you. Have a look online here are heaps of companies out there.

 

[kellierocks]

judith- the bleeding bo$$ocks! Could the job be already gone, but if they went to interview you the scoring cards would be tough to waken as you are so qualified? that is ****!

I too am off the rails today and yest! BAd bad bad i know.

Biker boy and I were txting over weekend- he didnt come out to meet us in the pub (my old friend and he would be very close and she was home) but lovely chat yest and then last night i took a risk and signed off with an x and lo and behold i got one back too!! SO what does that mean!!! So exciting! not sure how much I like him or are the butterflies from the idea of him (does that make sense)

 

[Ronsy]

Kellie from what I have seen men don't put an x on a message without thinking of the implications so looks like he also likes you VERY much. So go for it and have fun!! :candledinner:

 

[x Nee x]

Kellie, all sounds pretty promising, just take each thing as it is untill it progresses abit more, but enjoy the butterflys for they are the bestest

 

[Hanz]

Kellie I ditto the other comments, an x on the message is always a goodthing, men dont gibve em out easily ;D

Ronsy congrats on the job! I hope it goes really well, how were the test phone calls?

Well what was meant to be an awesome day has sucked! Wahey. First thing, The boy text me this morning cancelling as he was called into work Its weird, Half of me is like..oh well he cant do much about that can he, the other half is 'is it just an excuse?' oh well.
Weigh in - Only lost 1.5lb and thats from the last two weeks I have been killing myself in training, granted I had a few drinks on sat night (but were spirits and low cal mixers) but the two weeks have been pretty good.. oh well.
Am knackered from football training and hurt my leg tackling.. ouchy.

 

[kellierocks]

Hanz- my mood right now is life is crap stay in bed soI'm not much help in teh cheering up department hahahah! I'm applying humour tho which helps! my sister is watchin girl with teh dragon tatoo- anyone see it- really weird -I had to leave!! too much for my sensitive soul!

 

[x Nee x]

I wouldnt worry that he had to cancel, Im sure it wasnt an excuse, just unfortunate, hopefully he will be in touch again soon and you can arrange something else to do

1.5lbs is great hun, might not be as much as you wanted but its going in the right direction and you have been working so hard so maybe your measurements have changed abit this week too?

Noooo to staying in bed and being sad you feeling really down still hun? been able to figure out whats bothering you?

x

-------------------------------------------------------------

Not really sure where I am at the moment....been really good with food, but not feeling any different for it though which is really annoying me, Im scared to go and weigh as it will probably be no different and that will drive me mad but then hate not knowing if anything im doing is working or not!!

So wish I could afford weight loss surgery and get rid of being able to eat as I please (not that Im doing that at the minute!!)

Personal issues are still pretty bad! Nothing anywhere nearer to being sorted but just hoping something happens soon!

Although food wise I seem to be on track, finding im not very motivated for going on much whether its for a walk or just for something to do!

Have booked to go back to the parents this weekend for a little break from the crap, hopefully going out in town on Saturday night, but havent been out for over a year so feeling abit anxious over it all, Especially what to wear??!!! I had hoped that the next time I go out I would at least be feeling confident and Im certainly not that at the moment.

[colly strings]

ronsy congrats on the job!! yaay!! now, whats your number?

nee- i used to always dream of weight loss surgery as a miracle cure to all my ills. my auntie got it 3 years ago @ 23st and lost 7 stone- and has now put 2 back on and is gaining rapidly. i think your body can go into that state of starvation from being able to eat so little and even though she eats well and doesnt eat much at all she can't lose any more!! x

 

[x Nee x]

Colly, I think its difficult as some people have great success from WLS and others have bad experiences or dont get what they want out of it. For me I just want to get rid of this shell, and wish something would happen xx

 

[Hanz]

I think weight loss surgery sounds really good, but for me its just the thought of with for examplea gastrivc bypass of not being able to eat barely anything..i love food (obviously!!) and that seems way to much of a restriction to everyday life.

 

[Ronsy]

Before going for weight loss surgery which you cant undo try a vlcd, once you are in ketosis you don't get hungry so I't quite easy to stick to it. Also if you do decide to go off plan for a while you (birthdays etc) you can easily get back on and you don't have all the nasty medical stuff to deal with for the rest of your life.

Hanz well done on the loss, remember your building muscle so take your measurements as you will see how well you are doing.

Last night was my first night on Tarot. Went really well (only one person hung up as I was not telling her what she wanted to hear) worked from 11pm to 6am and am working 9pm whenever I want to finish, so it will depend on how busy I am but I will probable finish about 4am as that's when it got quiet last night. Managed to get a heap of house work done between the calls (all the little jobs I keep putting off!!) so I am really chuffed at how this is going. I will give it a week though before I decide if it's for me full time, but so far so good.

I wonder why we are all struggling a bit at the moment. Nice that we are sticking with the forum tho. Fun that you have a bit of the old romance going on - enjoy the butterflies. x

More romance!! You lucky young things. 1.5lbs is fine - its still a loss. Take care of your leg - hope it gets better soon. x

Hanz- my mood right now is life is crap stay in bed soI'm not much help in teh cheering up department hahahah! I'm applying humour tho which helps!

I'm with you on this - finding it very hard to get motivated to do anything except faff about on the computer and read books. I need a good kick up the ar*se. x

So wish I could afford weight loss surgery and get rid of being able to eat as I please (not that Im doing that at the minute!!)...

Yep I fantasize about the old WLS but I didn't realize before that it was permanant. For this reason I just couldn't do it. I love my food too much. A magic wand solution would be so great tho. Where are your parents, Nee? Is it nice going home or stressful? Hope its a nice break for you and you get plenty of tlc. x

Gosh you must be quite a night owl! Do you put it on voicemail/divert when you don't want to take calls? Do you just get paid a share of the per minute call rate? I always got the impression that with these premium rate calls the operator tries to keep them on the line as long as possible. I'll be very interested to know if the ££ works out as promised - I may seriously think about giving it a go. How's the house hunting going?? x

* * *

Went out for a lovely curry last night with TT (although he's more of a MBB - Mommy's Best Boy - at the moment). On Monday he spent 3hrs helping me in the garden so he earnt lots of brownie points. Still can't get my head round dieting altho I start well each day. By 3pm today I was making cupcakes - bad girl. And I didn't get a call back about the feedback from my application form so I'm sweating on that too.

Ah well, tomorrow is another day. xx

Its more of a dream to lose weight rather than it ever happening, purely due to GP wont refer me and I could never afford to do it myself So the struggle will continue

So glad your first night went well, how exciting, hope you continue to enjoy it

I think we should look into a wand solution for all of us hee hee Would be brill!!

What would you do on the phones Judith...you thinking to sexlines?

Hmmm curry sounds so yummy, what did you have?

Although food might not be going as you hope, you definately seem in a better frame of mind and more positive, it will start again soon Im sure xx

-------------------------------------------------------------

Was really good again yesterday...untill about 4pm, we decided to get a takeaway (chippy) I had only had about 3-400 cals before it tho so hoping it wont affect me too much!!

My parents are in Northampton Judith, which is also where all my friends/family and everything are....can be nice but more than likely stressful as I face the friends who should be there and arent always, my parents who think I should give up the dogs and Uni etc but praying it helps me to just relax, get a proper night sleep and preferably go out and get hammered as I havent for over a year!!

I'd do anything on the phones within reason - it would be quite impersonal I guess and the sex thing wouldn't bother me. Oh, unless I recognized someone's voice - how awful would that be??!!

Curry was sharing a garlic chilli chicken and a chicken makhani which arrived with about a pint of cream on the top - totally delicious tho. Mmmmmmmmm... curry. Don't get me going again.

Do you know that there's an old saying that our parents only stop treating us as children when we become parents. Can't say that happened with me tho. Families are a mixed blessing aren't they? Yep - go out and get bladdered. Certainly can't do any harm once a year.

* * *

Still living off sugar - should never have made those cupcakes. My scales are definately dead and just can't face arguing with Tescos about buying them in April but resent having to buy another set. But ignorance is bliss at the mo with regard to weight gain.

Yes, I'm feeling a bit more chipper but very lazy. Am now going to do the ironing whilst watching afternoon film just to make some impact on the never-ending list of chores. However did I manage with a small child working fulltime???

Have a lovely day everyone. xx
