Blergh! - FatFairNForty(ish) - my diary

New look, how bloomin fantastic for you.

They have some great clothes, and cheaper than evens too, means you can but twice as much!!!
 
Yeah, the credit card can take a beating once you discover New Look!!! :eek: Have you tried Mark One yet? They go up to size 24 in their Chapter range, and some of it is well cheap!! :cool:

LOL I wore my new top tonight to the folk club night and I felt great in it! Will do my diary tomorrow and you will see what my mother and sister said when I put it on to show them! lol Thanks for encouraging me to buy it!! :D
 
Geri, Cani, Mini.. thank you :D I am still excited about not having to shop at Evans now! lol I won't be out spending though as I can't afford it but I have a feeling that in 2007 I am going to get a brilliant job..and experience a whole new life and lifestyle! Will ask Zoe to take pics of me in new top.. or will wear it for weigh in on Tuesday... yeah, I'll do that and get Ailsa to email them to me (along with last weeks) or whack em on a disc.

I am too sleepy to do diary right now, but have loads (there's a surprise eh? lol) to tell you!

Had fab weekend - so tired.. brilliant fun! went on surprise visit to my mum - you should have seen her face :D she was SO thrilled to see me and then did a double-take! lol then she reverted to type and told me my roots need doing... LMAO.. she's right of course, and I do have an appt to have them done on Thursday (as it happens!).. anyway.. off to bed but will try and catch up with everything tomorrow afternoon (after I do tree, decs, spare rooms, vac, polish, work! collect Sarah, got to bank.. ) blimey.. am gonna be pooped!! been 100% on diet all weekend so still looking forward to Tuesday night weigh-in! Night my friends, thanks for popping in and being honest about "Eric" too. :D xx
 
Hey girl - so glad you had a fab day out with the lovely Mich and many congrats on the New Look purchase!!!!! I know how special it is!!!

Re Eric - you know what? Forget everything I've said in his defence - not speaking to you on the phone was unforgivable!! I would have gone totally ballistic - NB are you sure he's still not married? Sounds well dodgy to me! - and I wouldn't be seeing or contacting him again personally.

How dare he do that to you!

Cheeky muppet!!!!

OOh am all cross for you now!!!!!!!!!

Hope you have a smashing day, hun!

thanks Isobel - he is most definitely NOT still married.. lol absolutely 100% positive on that, he just is incapable of treating me (or any woman I guess) properly! He said at the beginning that he was crap at relationships, and you know what, he's right, but he chooses to be that way, he is an intelligent enough man, but uses the "i'm just a useless man" card too much. I didn't make any contact with him yesterday and won't today either. I really can't be bothered.

Don't be cross for me because you know what, I'm not even cross any more.. lol I'm just at that shoulder shrugging stage really and I would hazard a guess that he is waiting for me to apologise for my fiery text.. lol... how long will it take d'ya think for hell to freeze over? LMAO ;)

At work now and massively heavy morning lays ahead so will get off here or I'll get nowt done and I have a major meeting on Weds night which this stuff needs doing for! Argh! So tired this morning!! (might end up taking some of it home to do, but not a lot of point as will be flying around the house like a headless chicken getting ready for Sarah's homecoming :D I've missed her, but it's been nice with her living away, I want her home, but I also want her to go back... gosh that makes me sound horrible, and I'm not, honest, but we're so similar that we clash terribly lol. (it was the same with me and my dad) we do love each other totally though so it's ok :D I can't wait to give her a hug - flippin heck... I'm filling up now!! I'll be picking her up at 8pm tonight... her room is ready, her christmas presents are wrapped, I'll have hot home-cooked grub ready for her as she will have had an 8 hour coach ride (or thereabouts).

Will try to get on later to do diary for Sunday but if not, will catch up with you all tomorrow!

Love Jennie xxx

Saturday Dec 16th.. 7.25pm



Mich's directions were ace and I found her place really easily (only 1 wrong turn and that was my fault.. lol).. we chatted and then headed for the shops... well... I am sooooooooo surprised.. but... I bought a new top in NEW LOOK!!!!!
I couldn't believe it... we both broke down in tears in the changing room!!! (soppy mares) lol It was very emotional!! It's beautiful... a lovely colour that I have NEVER worn before and all sparkly too! VERY feminine!

Fantastic news about the top... bet it looks fantastic.. had a giggle about u both crying.. v sweet!



As we walked through the market we discussed how, since starting on this diet, there is this urge to tell large people about it... but that felt like rudeness so we don't, then , at the same time we commented on a lady we had just walked past as she stuffed a huge hot dog in her mouth.. bless her.. she was at least a size 30. I felt bad for her.. which sounds horrendously vain but I don't mean it that way... I have absolutely MASSES to lose still and know it's going to take a long time... at least until next September (at a guess)... so am not in a position to say too much... BUT... I saw her and saw myself. Y'know? Now, she could be very happy as she is, very happy... and who am I to say anything to upset her... but if I knew her I would say something, if she was a friend I would say something, and not lose our friendship.. but I know how mortified I would have been (and still would be) if some total stranger approached me in the street to tell me how to lose weight! So what do you do? Pray that she has good friends who know all about it and maybe will tell her one day.. ? I dunno, but it is hard and I'm acutely aware that this probably sounds horrendously judgemental but it isn't.. it's how I feel...

I do this too and I always feel bad for thinking it, but I do always want to tell overweight people - especially the ones who's health is at risk all about CD and what they could lose if they did it, how much better they would feel etc... but yeah I realised a total stranger coming up to you and telling u that u should go on a diet would not go down to well and may get me a punch on the nose!! Hopefully diets like CD and LL will start to get more widely known and then more people can try them... I discovered the diet by accident by picking up LL magazine in Tesco's... thought this is a wierd diet magazine there is no food in it!!! So then had to check out their website!


Anyway... on the way home I wanted to tell "Eric" about my new top... it's a big thing for me to have bought clothes from New Look!! lol He answered the phone but wouldn't talk... clearly he didn't feel able to even speak for one minute.. so I mumbled, well , ok then , talk another time.. and I hung up. I was so miffed, more so when I got a text from him saying.. sorry, family here. I thought - damn cheek! When I am with him he answers his phone and talks to whoever is calling!

I think it all sounds a bit dodgy on the Eric front... I haven't read the whole of ur diary though so I don't know the full score... but nobody answers a phone and then doesnt speak at all.. if you answer ur phone, u say can I call you back in a couple of minutes if it really is inconvenient! I used to have a b/f who never answered his phone.. but then rang me back a few minutes later and u could always tell he was walking down the street... i thought there was something well fishy going on and dumped him

Hope this message worked out right, i tried to do multi-quote thing but I don't think i did it right, sorry for making mess of ur diary if its all wrong :rolleyes:
 
Hi Kirstin, it worked just fine :D

I had a hysterical phone conversation with my daughter Sarah at 9.45am today- she missed her coach home...

I managed to speak to National Express and change it so that she can come home tomorrow, but I was so cross with her. So, tomorrow she will be home.. by the time we ended our call she was ok and I was calm. Of all the days for her not to get up in time... ! KIDS!!! She was sobbing on the phone, saying how much she missed me and couldn't wait to have a hug (like mother like daughter eh! lol)... she asked what size I am in now so I told her about the size 24 top and 24 combats... she was shocked and says she can't wait to see me.

Initially I was SO mad at her, but then I just felt so sad for her, but you know what.. she chose not to get up early this morning, despite knowing how important it was.. and now she is facing the consequences of her actions. I told her if she misses the coach tomorrow then she won't be coming home for Christmas. Bet you think I am a right hard *****, but you know what, she is 19, and earns her own money, and lives 330 miles away... it isn't for me to do a 700 odd mile round trip to get her.. and I won't.. well... I probably would if that was the only way to get her home... so, here's hoping she gets up in plenty time tomorrow!

I will get weighed at Ailsa's and go get her from there - at least I am in Northampton anyway (well, sort of) ... and at the right time of night too... but will have to be brief at Ailsa's so I don't have Sarah hanging around on her own at the station... *sighs She was so down that I told her about the gig.. I explained how everyone knew and I wanted to keep it a secret for her until the 29th but she was SO down I had to tell her, and it did the trick..she cried again... she was so overwhelmed that I'd organised it all for her... so... tomorrow night we will see one another for the first time since September and I wish she was here already....

Off home now to get things done and am taking work home to do as with sorting her out I have done almost nothing and I really have to get it done!! Where is my motivation!!! Argh! (think it's all being used up on this diet!).. had an old lady call into the office.. she looked at me and said "you've lost some weight haven't you?" and of course I laughed and said yes.. to which came the reply "well, about time too!"..

I want to be a cantakerous unthinking old bag when I grow up!! (watch it!!! lol anyone caught even mumbling ... " what do you mean WHEN..."..) ;)

catch up later folks.. (still no word from Eric - think I'll re-label his prezzies... LOL)

OMG Old ladies are priceless, aren't they? They can get away with saying stuff that would earn anyone else a smack in the mouth lol!

So sorry your girl missed the coach - doh! Kids, huh!

xxxxxxxx
 
I'd have said "so have u always been a miserable old bat or did it just come with age?!" lol

I guess u can let old ladies off..they don't think before speaking!

Sorry to hear about ur daughter missing her coach!!
 
Is it really only Tuesday?? Tuesday December 19th..

I'm at home.. supposedly working.. but not.. so far have done 3 loads of washing a pile of ironing, vaccuumed landing, bathroom and spare room.. written cheques, christmas cards and emails.. MUST go and get some essentials from the Co-op... not motivated at all right now (work wise).. perhaps it's just Christmas blues... dunno.. still haven't properly written my diary since Saturday.. need loads of time to do that too.. I know, I know, I could keep it brief.. but then when I read it back later I shan't remember the finer details (I'm gonna keep a copy of my diary for future reference whenever I'm tempted to go back to my food ways!)... and when I am old and batty I will find it reassuring to read that really, I was young and batty too ;)

Well... thank GOD... my daughter is on her way home... I can't wait to throw my arms around her tonight!! Promised to cook her a shepherds pie so will do that later..

Ailsa has offered to call in on her way home from a course tonight and weigh me here (which is fab as it saves me a long journey).. her house is immaculate - she's gonna see what a slob I am now! LOL.. looking forward to the weigh in although not expecting too much (after last week I'll be amazed at anything! lol.. BUT I DO want it to be more than 2 lbs so please.. keep everything crossed and if you have faith pray to your God.!!)

Off to buy dish cloths, dusters, dishwasher salt, sprouts and umm... oh yes.. some more loo blocks and air freshners.. (not that we are particularly smelly... just that everything seems to run out at the same time in this house!).. oh and fabric conditioner.. must get that.. just put the last lot in (Zoe tidied her room last night and I have a mountain of washing in the utility room and it's not a pretty sight!!).. her boyfriends grandad died yesterday.. he is gutted bless him, but he told her he doesn't want me to mention it, so I haven't.. I am going to pop a card in to his mum though.. she is devastated.. poor love. I rang my nana last night... she isn't sounding too chirpy either at the moment... I think this time of year is often very hard for her.. so old (93) and so far away from us all (She lives in Scarborough).. I'm tempted to drive up there on Christmas Day and surprise her, but it's just too far to do there and back in a day... and I've already promised to cook at a local home... so.. a phone call after church Christmas Day will have to suffice.. we did have a long chat and I told her about my weight loss... lol.. will tell you her reaction later when (if) I update my diary properly.. I really should as the days are flying by at the moment!!

Sad to read my friend CC is struggling so much at the moment and hoping she finds that inner drive that will steer her firmly on track again xx

Still no word from "Eric".. and I am not giving in and contacting him either so perhaps he is thinking that I am still peeved with him, or he is waiting for an olive branch... normally I am the first with an olive branch and I'm guessing that will be the case again but not today.. lol I'm all out of olive branches today - wonder if the Co-op will have any..? lol off to find out! x
 
Hi FFnF,

I'm so looking forward to reading your next entry. I'd LOVE to know how your nana took your phenominal weight loss! You are one in a million.

Love you to bitz!
 
Sorry to hear about Zoe's boyfriend's grandad. I know how upset my 2 are about their nana. Is Sarah back yet? And has Ailsa been yet?
Irene xx
