Do like a nice long lie in on a Saturday morning............BLISS
Lovely, bright and sunny here in Wilts today............hoping it stays that way 'cos we're off into town this afternoon and then popping over to collect Mr.D's
Not sure exactly what's on the menu today............
Brekkie - big bowl of porridge, banana, mug of fresh coffee made with remainder of milk allowance Lunch - oooops..........will only just have had brekkie
Dinner - something nice from M&S followed by one of their yummy desserts with a big dollop of West Country half fat creme fraich. Extras - probably something wicked to chomp on sometime this afternoon
Looks like we're in for another bright, sunny day today here in Wilts....pity I'll be stuck in the office
Had a lovely day yesterday, the weather was perfect and so was our little grandson
as he was christened Did, however, eat far too much afterwards so now have that horrid bloated Monday morning feeling again - really will have to cut back a bit next weekend. Nice to have treats, but actually like getting back to sensible eating
Here's the menu........
Brekkie - 2 shredded wheat with skimmed milk plus a mug of coffee with the remainder of my half pint allowance. Mid Morning - small banana Lunch - pasta, tuna, chopped cucumber and cherry toms tossed in fat free dressing. CD choc orange bar. Satsuma. Dinner - fish and veggies. CD butterscotch shake made into mousse. 4/5ltrs water.
Nice and bright here again today and the garden is looking very springlike with all the
out already.
After weeks of trying to decide where to take Mother for a weeks hol at the end of May - looked at Puerto Pollensia, Lake Garda and a few places inbetween lol finally booked a cruise instead
Suddenly remembered that I'd cut the offer out of the Mail a couple of weeks ago so gave them a ring - didn't think it would still be available. The ship sails from Rome so I've arranged for us to arrive a day early so that we get a chance to look around, then we're off with stops at Elba, Florence and Pisa, Nice, Cannes, St Tropez and Palma before flying back home from Barcelona. It's a really good deal so fingers crossed it'll be nice...........won't hear the end of it if it doesn't live up to expectations

Hi, Can I ask roughly what calories you're sticking to in your plan? Seems to really be working for you.
Also - ooh a cruise. AmandaJayne and I are cruise addicts - so deep breath - who's it with, what's the itinerary, when, what kind of cabin have you got etc. Tell us/me cheer up my dreary day
everytime I tried to pop in here someone was at my desk or looking over my shoulder.............made a right mess over on the holiday board lol
Soraya I'm doing a sort of 80/20 thing. I tend to stay very sensible on work days so that I can go a bit mad at weekends - seems to suit my lifestyle pretty well and so far the weight has remained nice and stable
Put in an application for a second job today - will do the other one before Friday. There are sooo many changes going on that evidently even more opportunities are in the pipeline..........the odds are getting better all the time
...........really keeping fingers crossed that one of them has my name on !!!!!
Bit misty here at the moment, hopefully that means we're in for a bright day. Rushed round doing the weekly

Planning to apply for job number three today..............really going for this lol but then, if you worked for the WW you'd want to move departments pretty sharpish too

Had an absolutely lovely, but very hectic weekend - our youngest daughter, SIL and little grandson came to visit
Looks like we've had a light dusting of snow or frost overnight here in Wilts - just peeked out of the window and the roof of my car is white
Think it's going to brighten up though so fingers crossed things warm up as the day goes on.
Off to work shortly - got an interview for job number one this afternoon.............keep your fingers crossed for me!!

It was absolutely freezing yesterday and to make matters worse we had a fire alarm at work...........had to stand in the car park for half an hour. Didn't help that I was in a meeting when the alarm went off so couldn't go back to get my coat............and it snowed

Well so much for spring arriving, woke up this morning to snow
Well, let's start with the bad news first.............didn't get the job, but. I've been shortlisted for 2 of the other positions applied for............made me feel a bit better............must be doing something right
Being realistic I probably only stand a chance of one of them - the other is in an area where there's usually someone already earmarked. If nothing else though, I'll soon be an expert in interview technique
The best news is.....................YIPPEEEEEEEE............we exchanged contracts on the new house
Now all we've got to do is wait til they finish building it
Out for a team lunch today - it's a finger buffet and I know there won't be anything particularly healthy on offer so adjusting my menu to allow for a bit of indulgence.

Was hoping for a quiet day 'cos the WW was due to be offsite - got told late yesterday that her meeting has been cancelled - means she's got nothing planned for today so she'll probably be breathing down my neck even more than usual

Up really early this morning..............well for me anyway
Not sure what the weather's going to do today, but at least it's nice and dry. Haven't a clue what'll be on the menu today - off out to the shops later so expect I'll find something a bit indulgent
Just heard that the showhome (same model as ours) on our site is now officially open so will be taking Mother over for a look this afternoon. Obviously the decor will be very 'designer' so not at all like me lol but it'll give us a good idea of how our furniture is going to fit in...................very exciting
