Not quite normal
Hello, EF, are you there? Have you fallen off the face of the earth?
We know you're back from holiday, and you said you were going to be good all week until a new Thursday weigh in...
... but we haven't heard anything. Are you ok?

Hi Girls
YEs, I am still on this earth, lol..
Have had a virus once again since I got back more or less from hols.. had to also work through this all last week, as the risk of redundany also means that they are looking at who takes off time etc.. so felt if I went in and dosed up every few hours, it'd look good.
Feel so rough, sooo light headed and my eyes are just streaming. Constant headache for the last week and have worked out that I seem to get a virus every 4-6 weeks, and about the time of school hols when my job is so busy, end up doing someone elses job so that it all goes ahead for the kids to go out during the hols on the activities. So must be due to stress.
Didn't end up getting to group on Thursday, got home from work, ate and went straight to bed..will be going this week though so trying to stay on plan as much as I can.Think im doing ok. Making some fresh soup for lunch today, think I need the extra vitamins!!
Will be posting as normal from Monday as back in office. Thanks for all your support and well wishes. xxx

Food diary will be put on hold for now. Feeling not good with re to the virus I had and now the row with OH is putting me in some strange place, where I have no appetite.
All over his son making a comment about me, which OH relished telling me, which then hurt me and had to try and chat to his son about this.. but he refused to talk back to me, said he'd just said it and just popped out. In case you are wondering what this was, lol.. he'd said "She always gets her own way". This was due to his family booking a break at new years, in April. Id said I had to work, so OH said to kids that if they wanted to go, he'd not be with them as wanted to spend some of new yrs with me too. However, he'd been badgering me to try and get it off, after asking several times i'd got the answer No, last week, that there was no one to cover me. So as my other job is at risk at the moment, I can't afford to rock the boat there.
So OH went to Asia last week on business and called me on Tuesday saying that his family and his kids weren't happy OH was not going (even though this had been discussed many times with them), made him feel guilty which he put onto me. Nice. So, he came back from his trip and I'd spoken to him about doing that to me when he was miles away and I had to then sit on it til he got back. His family all last week were away (me and my son was not invited) at the very place they are all going to New Yrs.. and course his son got back and had the hump with me, of course OH's family does too. So a long story.. but so selfish too. I'd had been happy if OH and his family had done a party locally while I was working, but they had to carry on with the booking even though I was working.
I really thought that when you were a couple, you went away together and didn't leave the other one to go away with your family for the week.
Am I being so over dramatic??
Had to check the my account this morning as shopping money (he's supposed to pay in each month) hadn't gone in. We aren't talking, so I've asked what he's doing with re to that by text (I hate talking like that - emotionless) and when the money would go in. He gets paid on the 27th. £350 should have gone on and it didn't. The answer was that we'll do our own thing this month.. Couldn't leave that as I'd shopped on Sat and spent £135 for the week, he'd (and his son) eaten here Sat and Sunday (what I'd cooked too), so he's reluctently putting it in today. I ask you.. I shouldn't have to have that crap. But.. its making me put my emotional wall up higher, so I can do this and soon this won't affect me.
Im at a loss financially, so need to bide my time and yes.. squirelling. As i'm not married and don't have my name on the mortgage, (he happily pointed this out to me yest), I will walk away with nothing. Even though when I moved in last summer, I gave up everything in my rented house as there was no room for my furniture (he said). Thing is at the time, I said I didn't want to be put on the mortgage as it was his and his kid's home, so didn't even want to contemplate splitting up and being financially ok if I did. Who would?? But my eyes are OPEN now and what money I don't spend on shopping will go away into my account now. I can cook and make food go further with more veg, pasta etc.. So thats my plan.
Anyway, sorry to droan on about my moans and groans, but better to right it down here then to keep it dwelled up inside my head, lol..
Big hearty Beef stew on, in the slow cooker, which smells yumm and will look forward to that at 7. SW friendly and free. My kind of food

*hugs* am thinking of you EF -
I personally don't think you are being overdramatic over the New Years thing.
I also think he is wrong to say what he did over the money for food - I actually think that is just petty!
But I really just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you hun - feel free to let rant on here - as you said it is much better that it's out rather than being buried away and festering.
*hugs*

Things are a little easier today, spoke to OH last night, though he still insists its all my doing, I was adult enough to apologise for anything I've done and told him that I did love him. He couldn't say the same. Nice man. Felt so vulnerable having said that and felt rejected with nothing coming back, so asked him to stay in his sons room again last night (he's stil in Uni), but woke up at 4am and he was by the side of me. I asked him why he couldn't respect my feelings, he said that his son's room was cold. No thoughts for anyone apart from himself.
Plodding on in there and have decided to go to my brothers on Sat night for fireworks before work and then monday and tuesday night to my sisters and to take my son with me too. It'll give me some space from this and some laughter with my family which is currently soooo needed.
Right off to shower for work and will pop back soon to update. xx

Thanks T
Things are back on an even keel now. TG!! Now for the diet, not so good, so now need to pay extra attention to myself on that front. Off to Selfridges in London tomorrow, taking my 3 nieces and nephew to see santa and for a pizza. So guess my diet won't start now til Monday once again.. But gym planned monday, wed and Fri, so at least the physical side of things are looking healthy now.
Had a Sanctuary Spa Voucher - champagne day, for xmas last year, and haven't got round to using it, so booked a day in Covent Garden on the 10 Dec, and hoping things are ok with OH, will meet after and spend the eve in London.
Working all weekend nights, so gonna be a busy one.. xx

Happy new year, one and all..
Being off plan all of December has probably taken me (my scales) 10lb over my last WI:break_diet:. So back on plan today and will leave the official WI til next Monday going back to group (I can't do it without it)
My Gran passed away on the 28th December, which was really sad. I got the news just as I'd got to the car park at work, broke down :tear_drop:, called my line manager and she said to go home. Spent the day with my sister and my son, went off with a bit of a blur of a day.Funeral is on 14th January. She had been in a home in Norwich for 4 years due to her stokes, and she had caught pneumonia and then had a 4th stroke on the 27th Dec, which took her back into hospital, she'd not regained consciousness and died in her sleep on the 28th around 3am. My mum and her brothers had rushed there (they had been called to get up there quick) on the 27th and were by her side when she slipped away.
Funny thing is, there were a few things that happened for 2 weeks leading up to her death, re family coming together, some who'd not seen one another for 17 years..I do feel that was part of a plan from my Gran and Grandad, but who knows.. just a nice thought anyway.
Back in the zone today, going for 15 syns a day this week, to get myself back into it and using the countdown 105 to start my week off and my EE day looks like this:
Back to the day.. NVQ work to do.. x
