Cheb....Too old to get home with the Dawn Chorus!

Evening All

Will and I are practically intimate, wahoo!! TOTM appeared this am so I'm really proud of myself for having just about held onto the diet this week. Weight was still 11st 8lb this morning but I'm hoping that I'll drop by morning as I'm pretty sure I was retaining fluid.

Work was ok yesterday, fairly steady but I can feel the Christmas slow down is upon us, not many places on the high street take a dip in sales at Christmas but opticians do. Caught up with my admin on Friday, I love getting up to date. I have to take back my complaints about overtime too, cos my bossman sent me home 2 hours early on Friday to make up some of the time I'd spent working at home on my day off. I guess he does notice the extra that I do after all.

DH took the kids out today they went to see Casino Royale followed by a trip to Pizza Hut. I went Christmas shopping with my girlfriends, hubby took my friends son to the cinema too, so she could come out to play!!!! Ah bless him he can be very thoughtful. Got some more bits and pieces sorted. Definitely going to put a Christmas film on tomorrow night and write my cards.

So excited about next weekend, cos it's Christmas!!!! It will be in our little world anyhow:D 7 of us, including Tpott, Hellybelly and Supergran are off down the coast a bit. We've hired a Lodge in Shorefield Holiday Centre, Fri-Mon for the princely sum of £25 each. We've been before and it's lovely, nice pool, jacuzzi, gym etc. A spa with treatments to die for and lovely walks along the coast.

This time we're making it Turkey and Tinsel:D We're even taking a tree and lights! We're going to play games and watch Christmas DVD's and read rubbishy magazines and gossip and probably eat too much cos yes we're coming off our diets and even cooking a turkey!!! I can't wait. Last time when we went we all SSed and I remember sitting in the carvery salivating at the roast beef and yorkies going passed while I sipped my soda water!

Anyhow I've waffled enough, hope you're all ok. Off to watch Lost now.

We stayed at Shorefield, Milford on Sea, we had a 6 person lodge last time. This time it's an 8 person one. I guess it's more expensive in season but off peak it's a bargain and soooooo nice. The lodge was really spacious and very clean and well equiped. Might make a cheap venue for a Boot camp? That how we viewed it last time cos we used the weekend to kickstart us SSing, this time though I reckon it'll be a foodfest!:eek:

Thanks for that Cheb...sounds very interesting. I'm gonna save it to favourites at that price!!! I bet you have a fantastic time.....say hello from me...xxx
 
Me too D_Q....:D

No soda water in sight this time, eh?;)

Only with a whisky in it!! ;)


Well we are having bubbly drinks but no it won't be soda water! Have to toast Christmas morning with a Bucks fizz it's traditional :D

Whisky? Mmmm well there might be a bottle on our packing list along with the sprouts and roasties and the tin of quality street......well it wouldn't be Christmas without would it?
 
I love sprouts, how dare you d_q, I only have them once a year but it wouldnt be xmas without em!
 
Morning

Wahoo, dropped a lb this morning:D off to change my ticker in a minute. 17lb to target mind it's sort of on hold a bit until January as I am out a few times over Christmas and I've got this weekend to 'endure':D :D :D I'm hoping to just keep things fairly stable by SSing on the days in between.

Come January I am going to SS for 1 month before stabilising properly, regardless of where my weight is, hopefully I'll be close to target but if not well it's not to be. I've mucked about too long now and I'm really concerned about the poor example I am setting for my kids plus we always used to sit around the table together EVERY night for our dinner which gave us the chance to catch up. I feel family life has become pretty fragmented. So that's my Grand Plan for the New Year.

Off to work in a minute then a trip to the supermarket on my way home before I head off to a Body Shop party at my friends tonight. Quite a busy day lined up.
 
Hey Guys

Diet wise, I'm hanging on to SSing, no drop this morning though:( Probably shouldn't matter cos I'm eating big style this weekend......well it is Christmas. So come Tuesday I'll be 7lb up again and climbing back on the wagon!

Look out DQ I have a whole weekend free to read my book!
