I know I still haven't told you about my weekend last week - and it was SSOOOO good too! I promise I will try and do so.. umm.. not sure when :sigh: as I only just got on here (Zoe has been applying for jobs all evening)..
So, I'll just quickly blab about today! (as you got the gist of yesterday already..lol)
So, today -
Thursday Jan 25th 07 -
Mr K rang and woke me
![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
and I grinned all the way to work.. went to Asda to get some tops for Zoe and a few gifts for her friend who has just had a baby boy! Also, as I was going into Asda this chap told me about them selling DVD players for £9 !! So, I looked, couldn't see any, nor could he so he bought one for £18 instead - not me - I went to Customer Services and they got one out of the storeroom for me - LOL (prior to any going on the shelves! ) lololol.. I'm gonna give it to my sister for her birthday

. Tightwad I know!
![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Anyway, got the tops and DVD thingy and went to work - boss rang - he's not feeling too well
![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
, so didn't come in but will be tomorrow. So I got stuck in
![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
! Time flew by, I then remembered I have a heap of job applications to fill in and post by 5pm today
![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
! I photocopied a couple and shoved them in a wallet to do later.. had 2 packs at work and then straight to the beauty place to be waxed! Got waxed (underarms, lowerlegs and eyebrows - not brave/stupid enough to get anything else done!!) lol Got changed there for the gym - dashed over there, did my workout and then had to dash home.. got home just as Mr K rang.. (phew) and spend about half an hour on the phone to him
![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
and then had to dash off to see the nurse for my regular weigh in and bp check.
Well, my BP is down again!
![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I'm so chuffed!!
![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
110/68 today AND my resting pulse is down too to 68

She was very pleased and her scales recorded a loss of 4kg in the last fortnight - but to be honest, I ignore her scales.. lol.. for a start they make me about a flippin stone lighter than Ailsa's, lol, so I only take notice of Ailsas
![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
(err on the side of caution
![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
). Regardless, I shall look forward to my weigh in on Monday
![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Discussed excess skin and how bad things are already looking - she was encouraging me with my plans to appeal to health authority when appropriate.. but I have to say.. it really is getting pretty grim already! I hate to think how it will look when I get to target!! Even so - it isn't going to stop me carrying on!!
![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I am too determined to allow that to happen!!!!
I was a bit shocked when I looked in the mirror this morning (no smart comments!!!
![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
lol) - I have 2 spots!!! I never get spots!!!! I mean, I know a lot of folks are telling me I look younger with the weight coming off, but spots!!! At my age!!! Puhleeasse!!!!
![Mad :mad: :mad:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
:sigh:
Not sure what to do about them.. lol.. they are just red so can't squeeze em or owt.. so I guess I just have to hope they will go when TOTM arrives (supposedly Monday but knowing my luck it will arrive over the weekend whilst I'm away from me leccy blanky!!!!

lol
Anyway, home from nurse, and Zoe jumps on t'internet, I sit and fill in one application that I can hand deliver in the morning - job as a PA/Committee Secretary. So - fingers crossed! Mind you - I firmly believe that I will end up in the right job so not setting my hopes too high on any of the ones I'm applying for.
Tried calling the place in London again for any news on that one and they are dreadful about getting back to me! :sigh: Perhaps I should give up - I've been chasing up about it for the best part of a month now! I mean, I know I am tenacious, but even so......
So this evening was spent filling in a lengthy app and now am on here! Tired but ok. Missing Mr K but looking forward to chatting to him again tomorrow (not first thing in morning though as I don't have to be up so early tomorrow
![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
and nor does he). I'd rather we both got some decent sleep! lol
and tomorrow? well... deliver job app, work., garage (car has developed a squeak!!), then home, load up car with everything for the weekend.. and off on my way!! (oh better do a route!)..
I haven't even started to pack yet! How bad is that!! I might just go up and do that now and then go to bed! I really am so tired tonight! (Perhaps I need to slow down just a tad .. lol..) NAH!!!
![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
lololol
All I have to do Saturday is drive a little, then meet up with everyone and have a good time!! lol
