awww thanks Punky, Caz and Mandy 
I was VERY shocked... I got to Ailsa's and we were chatting and I got on the scales.. I told her about my relish (and how delicious it was - lol) and that I didn't want to look at the scales.. she could just tell me..
She made me wait whilst she did the maths and when she told me I just burst into tears!! (soppy cow)... I can't believe it... almost half a stone off during Christmas week.. I know it sounds really big-headed but I am proud of me today!! It's been a bloody hard week and I am SO pleased it paid off! I am not expecting any such miracles next week.. especially as it will be TOTM but you know what.. this is the first time I have been so moved that I cried about the loss!!
Maybe it's the emotion of the season.. the time of month for me.. the memories.. the hopes.. the dreams.. the fears... the realisation that this is damn well working and that there is a real possibility that I am going to get to where I want to be,... maybe it was shock.. maybe I am just an emotional wreck today.. I dunno.. but emotional I was (and am).. I texted Mr K from Ailsas to tell him.. I got a lovely text and email from him.. he is very very supportive...
I rang my mum when I got home from the nurse and told her.. but that's moving on a pace.. I need to tell you all what else happened at Ailsa's!
I came out - obviously on a mega-high.. to find that some very nice individual has taken it upon themselves to drag a key down the side of my beautiful car!! All the way down to the metal.. across the rear drivers side door and onto the wing.. I was gutted.. thought it was a kiddie on a bike maybe,... so I went straight to the garage where I got the car from.. the salesman who I've dealt with (you may remember him from previous posts) didn't recognise me.. LOLOLOL He commented on my hair and my weight loss.. hee hee hee.. bless him.. so, anyway... blushing over with.. I showed him the car.. he says there's no way it can be polished out as its down to the metal and is metallic paint.. that I have to phone the insurance company and will have to pay the damn excess!!!!
So... great news eh! Flippin looking at it costing me about £100-£150 because some moron decided to be a twerp! (not the word I want to use.. but it will do!!).. I was not a happy bunny.. I then dashed off to Lidl to get some food for tomorrow evenings house gig...
Didn't want to buy too much as Lucy rang to offer all the party foods that were left over from last night.. so... shopping done.. (bloke in front of me started to chat to me LOL... must be something in the water at the moment eh Caz! ) lol... he had a bottle of wine and some lightbulbs... and he spoke and I said.. well you have the essentials .. wine and lightbulbs so you can see where to fall! lol He looked at my shopping and said he couldn't find anything to comment on as it was just normal foody things.. lol... ah,.. had he but known... it is all SO abnormal nowadays for me and my household! lol
Went from Lidl's to Lucy's... Sarah rang... she has Lucy's bug and is vomiting and you-know-whating... poor love.. sounded terrible... also the leccy had run out!! (flippin £30 I put on that a week ago!!!!! I'm tellin' you.. the difference having a 3rd person in the house for a week... even I am shocked!).. so... add that to my list of jobs to be done!
Lucy loaded up the boot of the car with a veg casserole, cheesecakes, cheese and biccies.. and dips.. (flamin' temptation on wheels!).. and I set off for home... then I get a text for Zoe to call someone she is hoping to have a job interview with.. so.. still parked up I do that.. then Sarah rings again.. in tears.. in such a lot of pain.. I told her to go to bed with some water and a bowl and that I would be home soon.
Home at about 4.. unloaded shopping.. food and ran in house.. shopping away... Zoe warned not to eat any of it as it's for tomorrow... then grabbed the gas and leccy card n key and jumped on here to post my weigh-in results... off then to the nurse.
Got there a minute late and went straight in.. she was chuffed at the loss (been 2 weeks since I saw her last) and I had my bp taken WITH THE NORMAL SIZE CUFF!!!!!! Now.. I KNOW that might mean zilch to most peeps.. but I have to tell you something.. lol.. when we moved up here some 6 years ago this April coming ... I had to go to the Dr and he took my bp and called me "porky arms" because I had to have the big cuff.. I was horrified (not enough to lose weight mind you! lol)... and cried when I left, then got cross and vowed never to be treated by that particular doc again.. and have stuck with that vow!! lol (nasty specimen of mankind he is... not pleasant at all..)... anyway.. so... I was dead chuffed when she used the normal cuff..!!! She also weighed me and was blown away..!! lol
My bp was right down to 115/71 and I asked if she thought it worth my asking GP if I could reduce meds further for BP.. she said definitely.. so.. on the 4th January... I shall be sitting at the docs... eagerly hoping he will reduce the meds yet again (already gone from 50mg to 25mg a day since starting my CD journey!!) So, I am hopeful that the 4th January will be another landmark date in my life!!!
I told her about Mr K.. lol.. and about my worries... told her about Eric... and about life in general (love my nurse! lol she and I have a blast!).. she agrees that blonde was better for me.. and I had already decided that when my hairdresser is back from NZ in Jan (unless I can get hold of her tomorrow!) I am going to revert to blonde again.. I DID like it better... I will just have to have it ALL done blonde instead of just highlights... I really don't like being so dark-haired any more!
Anyway... left the surgery in a great mood.. and going back in 2 weeks to see her again.. popped into the chemist with some old tablets I found whilst sorting out one of the cupboards... and then went to get the gas and leccy... did that and, finally, headed home!
Got home, made myself a scrummy mug of spicy tomato soup, pint of water and sat on here ever since! lol Been trying to catch up on the threads but failing miserably as I am really cold and pretty tired... going to get offline, clear the kitchen up a bit.. vac and polish living room (in preparation for tomorrow nights activities!!) and have already got the chicken out of the freezer to make into a curry for tomorrow evening.. need to ring my mate and borrow her dining chairs.. lol.. and also the insurers of the car and get the ball rolling on that too!
Hoping to hear from Mr K this evening.. but he mailed me to say that something has happened at home and it's going to be hard to get on msn now too!! *sigh.... am sure we will find a way though.. where there's a will... etc!!
Have also (since home) whacked a load of washing in the machine, and that's just finished.. so will do another load! lol.. how can 3 women create SO much washing! lol... when I nipped in before shooting off to the nurse I told Zoe that we seemed to be missing some pint glasses and how lovely it would be if they miraculously were to appear in the kitchen upon my return! lol whaddya know! 4 of them were standing to attention on the draining board when I got in! lololol amazing! lol
Right... off to the loo (soup and all the water worked it's magic!!).. then mebbe go watch emmerdale as I caught it the other day and was incredulous at the story line! lol hee hee... Viv Windsor (Hope) is so outrageous!!!
Happy evening all! xxxxx
