I had breakfast in the garden centre cafe today, new chef so was not sure how to count.

I am feeling tired the last few days. Don`t really know why. Didn`t do much yesterday, saw neice & sat around most of the time, that don`t help I think.

I'm not finding it too bad, but fortunately I'm not having a hungry day. I've got wi at 3:30 too.

I find if I every have an 'easy' day I'm more tired than normal, I need to keep going.

I'll be very pleased to finish work today, I seem to be dealing with idiots and I'm not the most patient person!

Thursday 5th September - Green Day

After a good start to the day, it's all started to go rapidly downhill. Had customer from hell complaining about a statement I sent him, and more or less telling me that I can't do my job, because he's too thick to understand it. And now my friend has cancelled me again cos she's had a better offer.
Sometimes I feel so valued!!

A - Milk
A - Cheese
B - Oats
B - Ryvita

Breakfast - Oats and Yogurt, apple juice (3)

Lunch - Ryvita and laughing cow

Dinner - 5 bean chilli and rice

Snacks - Super noodles, vodka (4)

Syns - 7

 

[Nanny Doreen]

Oh dear. What a day. I used to work in a bank call centre overnight and some of the customers with little shites. There is none so contrary as `the public`

What has your friend cancelled. Were you going out? Cheer up, `fings can only get better`:bighug:
can`t they? Hope so.

Thanks Doreen.
We were only meeting for a coffee and a catch up. I should be used to it by now, it's a joke in our house, Rob will ask me when I'm 'not' meeting her lol. It still disappoints though, and I was looking forward to it.

 

[b_44]

Oh no sorry to hear you're having a bad day. It's such a dissapointment when you're looking forward to something and it doesn't happen. Does your friend have a valid reason for things when she cancels?

Thursdays are your weigh in day aren't they? Good luck! X

 

[Clapper&Ham]

Her other bloke can meet her for a coffee!! Don't get me started on my views on that one
On a happier note - 1.5lbs off YAY!
