Thanks Cheryl... am up but incredibly tired, off to market to get my weekly 'treat' and then home and will get off pc and knuckle down with these accounts for a few hours. Going to aim to have an early night tonight (despite it being Friday!) and hopefully wake up full of energy in the morning.
Still getting texts from MrCool (my lunchtime date at Brum) which is really nice! S rang a couple of days ago! Told him I'll mail him an update on things but I haven't bothered as yet. :giggle: Was a time I would have dropped everything and shoved him to top of list!! Strange how we change...
Thankfully not heard any more from the Stalker... once his damned rail is back with him if he ever contacts me again I will throw the book at him! In fairness, since my 'throw away the flippin tub and I'll send the rails don't ever contact me again' message. He hasn't. Hopefully this will conclude things. Aiming to deliver rail week beginning 24th Sept... simply no time before then!
Right... off to shower, dress, etc etc... feeling hungry this morning (not sure why - need to guzzle a couple of pints of water, that'll soon sort it!).. Chicken salad planned for lunch today with pickled cabbage! YUMM! (saving my choc orange pack to make a muffin Sunday to celebrate finishing the accounts... hopefully!!)
PROBLEM!!
My Sarah rang me last night, told me to book Dec 5th off work as she has booked something for me and her to do that night for my birthday (which is in Nov)... but I need to be down in Falmouth and driving! this means her gift will ultimately cost me 3 days pay, 3 days boarding fees at kennels for dog and minimum of £150 in petrol !!! How do you tell your daughter that as much as you want to, you simply cannot afford for them to take you out!!!! Altogether it'll cost me over £300!

Hello darling, what busy weeks we've both had .
We've gotta get some more boogying time sorted, don't we! Any more thoughts on Liverpool meet and if you can make it (I'm gonna book a room anyways so you can come share if you'd like). Remember the offer for showing you the Welsh seaside sights first.
Get that early night and enjoy the wedding tomorrow. It's a shame we don't live closer coz I could have lent you my nice new camera.

Hello darling, what busy weeks we've both had
I know, I am shattered... cancelled going out last night and tomorrow due to overload and tiredness... up til 3am working on these blasted accounts.. then major major probs with Zoe and her fella which made us leave almost 2 hours later than planned so JUST made it back in time from droppin her off, to get to wedding! It was lovely. Feeling a bit emotional now...

I definitely can't come - just got a bank statement and there is no way I can afford the petrol even... I'm not even sure I can go to the Rally next weekend now..
Get that early night and enjoy the wedding tomorrow. It's a shame we don't live closer coz I could have lent you my nice new camera
Didn't get the early night - got caught up with all the paperwork and realise just how much there is yet to do! Nightmare! Was on the phone sorting some of it out this morning and had to shoot down to pay some stuff at the Post Office whilst Zoe was trying to sort things out...

Just wanted to share the attached pic... me with yer man Brian Houston on Thursday night - he is a darling man and a fabulous musician... and it is such a contrast from the last time I saw him with Sarah a couple of weeks before I started the diet ... He was so lovely to me too... will blether on another time... Lord help me, I need 50hour days at the moment!!
Pic 1 Thursday night with Brian Houston
Pic 2 Last September with Sarah and Brian Houston
Pic 3 Venue for Thursday nights gig
The last pic taken before my camera died... :cry::cry::cry::cry:
Good news... a lovely friend is loaning me their camera for the rally... think the credit card is going to get a real hammering this month! Blergh!
Still going well with AAM, had fish and steamed mushrooms last night - was lush. I've been weighing myself each morning (bad girl!) and the scales show no change at all every day! So.. perhaps I won't lose on AAM after all...unless my scales have joined my camera in Technology Heaven?

Morning all... just a quickie as in mad rush to get to orifice!!
Been a chaotic weekend - working on accounts ALL weekend and just emailing them back to work now and then going in to prepare for nightmare meeting tomorrow! Worked all Friday + evening, and Saturday was just disasterous at the beginning (Zoe and fella), blatted back to Hatfield and back and JUST got to the church in time for a lovely wedding and then work and then reception and then a gig and then the pub... then yesterday, up early, work work work, breaks, pub with PQM, home, very late night call from Zoe... overslept this morning, weigh in with nurse AND with Ailsa this afternoon.. my scales show no change at all.. hope theirs do too.. had letter from PCT about when they'll be discussing my request! Bank statements sent me into a tail spin... got yelled at at the services when picking Zoe up last Weds - must remember to say about that... I've not had time to breath this week - really want to do my diary properly but no energy to and no time to and just so many flippin demands on me mentally, physically and emotionally. Despite ALL that.. I am a happy girl Life is still good, there is always hope on the horizon and I'm optimistic about the future. Big week for me on so many levels... so.. deep breaths.. here I go launching myself into another manic Monday!!! (cue the Bangles.... oh crap, that's going to be singing in my head all damn day now!!)

Hope your day is going to plan and you managed to fit all that madness in without too much stress!
Are you going to have a quiet night tonight then? Somehow I doubt it!

Well, just got back from weigh in (via Waitrose for food as now on 790! Yippeeee)
I lost another 4lbs this week!!!! Can't believe it!! My scales showed same all week... might consign them t't bin! lol
Went to be weighed by nurse too and she was pleased as her scales registered a good loss and a BMI of 26 so the hospital should be pleased if I ever get to see someone... date for discussion of my application is October 3rd so please, all positive vibes then please!
Accounts meeting tonight in less than an hour and my dinner is in the oven - an incredible portion of Quorn pieces (I adore Quorn!) well within the allowance (weighed carefully) with courgettes, mushrooms and peppers with a dash of soy sauce, all in an ovenproof dish and covered in foil... fingers crossed for a delish dinner! I love Quorn - used to eat it all the time when I followed the Slimming World diet... glad that from every previous dieting disaster there are some silver linings in the way of recipe ideas and foods! Have developed a definite passion for pickled shallots too! Yumm! Not really s'posed to have them but the odd one or two clearly hasn't done any harm this week.
So... into my first week of 2 doing 790 on the maintenance steps and I'm feeling acey pacey! (knackered though what with work etc!) still... roll on Friday when I hit Filey for 4 days of wonderful company and total chill out time! Might take the battered old laptop and write my diary onto floppy! lol OMG it will be like Lord of The Rings in it's entirity if I catch up fully!!!!
Right, off to sort out paperwork for the meeting, eat my grub and shoot back to the orifice!
You won't believe this... I bumped into S at the petrol station and he came 'round for a coffee.... LOADS to say on that!! No plans to see one another again though.. so not that thrilling eh.. lol.. he spotted me and called me over, Ididn't even notice him.. I was too busy buying skimmed milk coz I now have to drink 1/2 a pint of that a day! Have'nt had milk in almost a year! Don't drink tea or coffee so au natural it is!
Hope I don't gain this week... but I guess the whole idea of this is to do it for 2 weeks to let the old bod and metabilism get used to the idea of more...
Only had time for one pack thus far (spicy tom soup - lush!)... so going to have me grub and a muffin and another muffin when home.. nice bedtime snackeroo... (may have to do a choc orange one as they are specially nice at the moment on my old taste buds!)
Right... best go! xxxxx

Lol, just about to go to bed (11.10pm Tuesday)
Mad week so far again... delighted with weight loss, getting very spotty complexion so think TOTM may be looming... odd to get spots though... not had them in years!!
Might be lack of sleep eh?
790 is fantastic!! Had fish (only 3oz though) and veg baked in the oven with water and a drizzle of soy sauce... scrummy! 2 muffins and a spicy tom soup AND my 1/2 pint of skimmed milk... had forgotten what milk tasted like... mad eh? Drank it nice and cold... feel stuffed though and did treat myself to smoked mackerel strips (about 138g) which I know isn't on the plan but were lush! lol I'm not going to buy them again until on the 1000 as they are very high in cals and fat (although ace for Omega etc )
I have a VERY exciting day tomorrow and afterwards will (hopefully) in a few days have some exciting news to share.
Tonight's meeting was ace - went like a dream - so all those 3am finishes sitting up number-crunching have been well worth it!
Almost Rally time too - how fantastic can this week get!! PLUS... I got oodles of sponsors tonight so am calling the skydive company tomorrow lunchtime to book it!! Yeeharr!!
Can't believe I'm so far out of date with my diary but simply not enough hours in the day!
Mr Cool from Brum is still in daily contact and even rang me yesterday!
Right... I need to sleep - got to pay attention tomorrow!
And MD... yeah, I do stop... when I sleep xxxxxx
