Dublin, Zoe, Sarah, food!!!! So good having my girls together!
Tuesday already!
Well, Zoe had her first taste of the Cambridge this morning - showed her how to make Choc-mint "porridge" with husks.. she ate the lot but said it was grainy and not that nice so perhaps less husks next time! She's going to join the site too but has promised not to read my diary and vice versa. She's hoping there will be other 18 yr olds on here that she can chat to.
Am
so tired today - stayed up
way too late last night so DEFINITELY very early night tonight!!
"working" from home this morning
but still going to job 2 this afternoon, then, when home am going to have food!! lol AAM week!! Yippeee!!
NOT going mad this time though - am going to have 3oz of cod with salad and pickled beetroot, cabbage and onions!!
Lush combination eh?
Might get some mushrooms too... (salivating now at the thought!).
Just got off the phone to someone who is struggling like mad at the moment - know where she's at! Not easy this weight malarky!!
Last night I did something
madly impulsive! I booked myself on flights to Dublin for the meet at the end of June!!! I know, I know.. it's crazy and I'll be tired but hell, you only live once and I KNOW I would be tearing meself up if I didn't go.. PLUS... I have a heap of euros upstairs in a drawer that were left over from last summer's hols and I just counted them and there's 300 of em!! So - I reckon that will easily cover my flights ( £75) and bus fares to my friends in Foxrock (12 Euro return from airport) AND cab fares to and from Dublin centre on the Saturday (approx 30 euros each way I think). No hotel costs as staying with my friends - so that's ace too.. AND.. as the cheapest room I can find costs over £100 for one night I reckon it is
definitely cheaper to do the taxi thing. MUST write their address down really clearly though! (Thanks to Irene too who said I can change at her hotel for the evening, not quite sure how I'll get my day things back though! lol) probably end up getting ready at lunchtime and simply staying out from the 3pm meet onwards! Have warned friends that I may not return until the wee hours (if at all!!!
) lolololol So.. am DEAD excited. I love Dublin, lived on the outskirts for the first 8 years of my life and have been back a couple of times. Last time was 2 years ago and I was a mess emotionally and physically, so this time it will just be physically! lololol
My schedule will be.. .fly home from Tobago to Gatwick arr 9am Friday 29th, get back to mum's around 11am, sleep for 3 hours, drive to Luton (to avoid rush hour on M25), leave car at ex bro-in-laws, visit neice and new baby, get lift to airport for 6pm, fly to Dublin, get bus to Leapordstown, meet friends., get to their place by midnight.. lol.. sleeeeeeep... taxi to Dublin next afternoon meet up with all the girlies!! (yippeee) and eventually go back to friends at some ridiculous time of day Sunday, back to bus to airport and fly home around middayish, drive home (1 hour) and then sleeeeeep, unpack and then go to pub quiz!!!
gonna be fun fun fun!!! Then back to me 2 jobs on the Monday! (might have to have the Monday off to sleep a bit though!) I know its madness but I just HAD to do it!! Y'know? So, just got to sort out a dog sitter now! lol
Sarah's just begged me to give her a lift to Northampton to meet her mate so I eventually relented and said yes if she gives me petrol money - which I will relent on too! lol
She's off to London tomorrow to see Russell Brand and some other bloke whose name escapes me.. so she'll be in tonight (cooking chicken in white wine with baby pots and veg for her), cod etc for me!
After London she's off to MK to see friends, finally home Friday (might go to the wine bar with her).. and then taking her back to bus station early Sat am. So.. she has a full itinerary this week!
Zoe's going to see how she goes with the diet but seems very determined as her hols are only 6 weeks away so she's focused!
Going to write oodles about the Brum meet later (before early night!) as it was so fab and I met some fantastic people!
Done sod all this morning except yawn - honestly - where were my nagging minimins mates last night to tell me to sod off to bed!!
lololol I got carried away with the Dublin thing.. it's another thing to look forward to though and those events keep me going. You lot, no matter how you are doing with your own journies, ALL inspire and encourage me enormously you know!!!! (without exception!!!)
Don't think I could have done this without you all travelling with me
so,:thankyou::thankyou::thankyou:
It's so good to have my girls home with me together too
