SPOT ON 7 stone lost now. :D

:scale: :wow: :wow: :wow: :bliss:

brilliant!!weight loss
Briliant new job.





I'm not sure how it will go working there, but it is a good job and fairly well paid and will not add many miles to my daily driving either and I will still be home by 6.30pm every evening so could even pick up a part-time evening job a couple of nights a week if necessary too! :D
I'm going to stick my neck out now & try to stop you from taking on a third job before you settle into this 2nd one.I wouldn't presume to know about your finances & there is little that is worse than facing losing your home but..
1. please get used to the double hours before risking exhaustion & pain from your foot by taking on a third job.
2. If solvency is close, is there any poss of becoming so invaluable to the new company that the extra cash could be forthcoming after say another 6/12 or so without increasing your hours? Purely speculative & not a little romantic but can there be any harm in asking?

CONGRATULATIONS on the 7 stone weight loss! :)
 
Fantastic news, both on the job front and the 7 stone weightloss!

(As you can tell, I am up at silly o'clock again!)
 
Double congratulations on the 7 stone (7 STONE!!!!!!) and the job, hun - that's fab!!!
thanks Isobel - and for all your encouragement too! :)
all in all a fairly possitive day then hun ! so you have a bit of juggling around to do, but i'm sure you can sort out somethig that satisfies everyone. If your mum knew that this was the difference between keeping your home or not, then she wouldn't mind her meal being changed. all will work out well ! xx:)
:D thanks sweetie, yes juggling to be done, calls to be made, family already dealt with (great response - told them I will let them know today if can't make lunch Friday), nothing like procrastination eh!;) thanks for your unstinting optimism :D
CONGRATULATIONS Lots of love
Irene xx
(((Hugs))) thanks Irene :)
 
Hi Hun! Well done on the weight loss...... you definately weigh less than me now..... woo hoo..... :D Well done on the job front too.... I know how much you needed it..... at least one of us got lucky today.....;) I would tell them you have committments you can't break this week and can start Monday...... they shouldn't have a problem with that.....Well done again - really proud of you......:D Lots of love
Bless ya, you're such a lovely mate xxxx Was so sorry to hear you didn't get the much longed for job.. :( but think there MUST be something even MORE perfect on the cards! I'm going to see what I can sort out and then will call them this afternoon to tell them. :)
Congratulations x 2 (full compliment of congratulations there then :D )Brilliant news on the job front & the 7 stone lost (OMG!!!) front and your inch losses are awesome too.You're rockin' girl - keep it up :)
:D :D :D Ta MD :D I was sitting talking to Zoe last night and she told me that she can't believe it's 7 stone already but that it will be even madder when it's 8, then 9 etc etc.. lol we've agreed that she's coming clothes shopping with me when I've lost another 2 stone (but with the stipulation that I don't take her into QS or Peacocks as she is such a snob!!!!!!! FFS! lol I have NO idea where she got her 'designer' head from but t'ain't me!!!!) lmao I'm off to Oxfam & the Sally Army as soon as I can get into a 18!! lol
Congratulations on the 7 stone loss, excellent news ! Even more brilliant that you got a new job at the same time. Your confidence must be sky high, you go girl ! :clap:
Thanks Mel :D :D Confidence (strangely) not sky high but am very pleased that things are panning out a bit better than of late! lol :D
 
:wow: Woo Hooo great news on both fronts, new job and new figure, wow 7stone in 21 weeks, you gotta go for slimmer of the year girl....:superwoman:
hee hee, you nutter.. (love the superwoman smilie) xxxx you're looking SO fab!! (checked out yer latest pics)
Hey FFnF, Well done on the job and yep agree with the rest - go for a monday start - takes a while to get things arranged eh? Sure once you get in there and they see what you an deliver then things will develop nicely should you want them to. Have gone overboard about your great achievement on the pounds on your weigh in thread, but suffice it to say
Fan-dabee-doze-ious
:wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:
(pinched your colour and just found the second column of new smilies :D )
Roll on the ton up next week :whoopass:
:rotflmao: thanks mindless (not sure of the botty smacking thing though! ;) ) :giggle: Doubt there will be more finances forthcoming but one can hope! :D 2 more pounds to get to that 'ton up' or should that be.. 'ton off'!! You're doing brilliantly! 4stone in 8 weeks! :wow: by the end of the summer we shall both be shadows of our former selves! Hope the job thing sorts out positively for you too.
I bet it feels good to be over half way there Irene xx
I must admit.. it feels great to see that I am a stone closer to goal than my start.. and with each stone closer I will feel much happier.. I am a bit scared of goal.. but with 6 stone to go, lol, I have time to get brave about it! ;) xxx

:giggle: thanks Jane and yes, I shall try and get settled into at least a fortnight first (if nothing else just to deal with physical tiredness that I'm sure will come with it! ) I think the 6 month pay review might be something I can discuss today with him on the phone. Thanks for that - great idea!! (I'm sure after 6 months they will see I am great value for money :giggle: ;) ) I quite fancy the idea of a bar job 2 nights a week - will help my confidence (maybe) and keep me away from food too!! lol Although, the foot is an issue.. shall have to see how the finances pan out.. also need to check with Inland Revenue about how to sort out tax codes as second employer.... different set up (if I remember my course properly).. lol I realised too that we hadn't discussed holidays (although I did tell him about my BIG trip in June!) so will have to sort that out too today!
CONGRATULATIONS on the 7 stone weight loss! :)
Cheers CC :D :D :D Hope you're doing ok hon x
Fantastic news, both on the job front and the 7 stone weightloss! (As you can tell, I am up at silly o'clock again!)
ergh! You must've been up at 3am!!! blah! I was dreaming of banks and gyms and jobs! lol Thanks Cheryl, really hope the legs improve very very soon! xxx
 
It's Tuesday morning, I was asleep last night by 11.30 and slept fairly fitfully but woke at 5.30 to hear the dawn chorus - what a lovely sound. So, bins out, washing in machine, diary up to date and Zoe's breakfast ready and thoughts fairly organised as to what has to be achieved today - I'm off to take her to college in a moment (in her car - saving my mileage!!- and petrol). Won't get chance to get back on here until this eve!! (that'll become the norm as soon as I start the job I guess - oh no! I'll have withdrawal!! :giggle:)

Good job I don't have a fella now.. will be too knacked to give one any attention for a while now! (So perhaps this job will help me not think so much about THAT too!!).. toodlers for now xxxxxxxx

Hi Geri, thank you :D It feels unreal to be over halfway! I negotiated 25 days hols + Bank Hols and I start on Monday so am very pleased with that as I simply couldn't re-jig my life so fast (well, I could but I need a bit of time to do some things first!) lol

thanks Irish and welcome on board! :D (you really don't want to be me! lol) You are right - you CAN do it! And, I'm sure you will :D Keep a diary (sorry if you have and I've missed it!).. it is a great therapy to get it all off your chest on here and you will find this site filled with lovely, supportive and very sweet people. :D Good luck on your weight loss journey xxxxx
 
Me thinks you should get a job with the diplomatic core .... 25 days hols+ b/holidays. You are clearly undervaluing yourself. Chief Exec in no time.
 
Lunch with Sid Owen!!! (well... kinda.. LOL)

Tuesday evening - only on briefly.

Doing festival stuff. Mad day. Got to work just in time as traffic on way back from dropping Zoe off was crap!! Worked like a mad igg and then dashed off to meet my friend Penny for lunch at the local wine bar (she had lunch, I had a spicy tom soup and water) and guess who was sat at the table next to ours!! Sid Owen!! I was sooooo tempted to yell out "Rick-ayyyyy" lol.. texted my Sarah and Mich to say as much too! lol Sarah texted me back and said to say that Phil Mitchell says hello! lol (she sees him in Falmouth all the time) lol It was tempting to say something to him.. but the man was having his lunch and it would've been rude to interrupt. His mum lives in our town so he's around every so often. He looked dead old though - nice hat, and he was looking at house info.. lol.. (should be a detective!!).. he was going to see some houses this afternoon and tomorrow.. and cancelled one viewing.. (not that I'm nosey or owt.. :rotflmao: he was just a litte loud on his mobile. He had a right dodgy looking bloke with him - lol nice enough to chat to, we passed the time of day briefly as we queued up!

So.. there we go.. claim to fame of the day - lunch with Rick-ayyyy. lolololol ;)

Shot off from there to the gym and my trainer has upped the ante on my workout!! He's made everything so much tougher - and, I forget that when I have the headphones on and I make a comment it comes out louder than I might otherwise speak!! I was on the recumbent bike (on a new prog) and it was damned hard and the word bar-steward escaped my lips at a particularly tough point.. lol.. I knew it must've been loud as he shot over to me and tapped me on the shoulder and said if I was finding it hard I could take it down a level (he had me on level 7 for goodness sake!!!).. my legs felt like I was cycling up the Eiger!!! Broke into a mega sweat (not nice) and left very attractive sweat patches on the seat!! (ewwww).. - I did dry it off - I'm not totally uncouth y'know ;) lol

Did my whole workout and the weight/machines too and had a chat with him about the problem of when to go next week as I'll be working every afternoon from Monday onwards! Bless him, he says as long as I can get there before he leaves at 6 of an evening I can go straight from work on Tuesdays and Thursdays.. so.. that's those 2 nights accounted for from now on!!!

After the gym it was off to the post office and then the waxing place to change my appt.. and then the ironmongers (I need hooks for my dressing gowns).. no joy though. Went and bought my mum a lovely photo frame for her birthday and put in it a pic that was taken of me Sat morning. I showed Zoe and she loves it so am hoping for the same response from mum too. (I added the pic to my gallery on here). I hate having my pic taken, but this one I like very much - very rare that! lol

Still haven't opened todays post, prob won't until tomorrow. Then I got on pc and have been doing festival stuff and have at least another 2 hours of that ahead before bed!!

Once I get this programme done I shall be able to relax a tad. I'm responsible for the ticket hotline at the moment and took a call for 2 tickets already tonight! Early to be getting bookings but great too!

Right.. I have to get off here and get on with the programme. Will catch up tomorrow sometime - another mad day lays in wait... have to pay mortgage and get some work clothes too!! (plus work of course!). Hopefully tomorrow evening will be a relaxed one.. but not holding out much hope for that - lots of washing to be done now!

Must make a rule of bed before 11 NO MATTER WHAT!! otherwise I could burn out and I don't want that! Have had to change my weigh in to 7.30pm on Mondays now (as will be working until about 6pm)..but Ailsa is lovely, and it's all set.

Oh... updates..

Sister : her bloke met her at the airport and has somehow managed to persuade her to remain his girlfriend :doh: :doh: :doh: in his defence, he was telling the truth about his little girl.. she is very very poorly in hospital.. so I told sis I felt bad for thinking he would lie about her.. she laughed and said not to worry, it was exactly her thoughts too!! However, that doesn't negate the lack of contact and the lies about other things! Still.. it's her life and I've told her my fears and thoughts and that whatever she decides, I'll support her decision. (Really hope she wises up and gets rid - sorry, but he lies and he kept her money for a fortnight!!) NOT a good basis for a relationship (in my book anyway!).

Right.. MUST go. Am so very tired and it's already heading towards 9pm!

Night night all xxxxxx
 
Ok, never done this before - but - Ailsa emailed me the pics she took on Monday and I've (hopefully) attached 2 pics below - 1 is my start night piccie and the other is the one she took yesterday.

If I could work out how I would put them next to one another.. but this will have to do for now.. if this works I can see me sticking piccies on of all sorts of things! lol ;)
