Will get there one day!
Had a great but tiring night last night, went over to see Gang Show in Sutton (near where my parents live), was supposed to meet in pub at 4pm but traffic was hideous and took me 3 1/2hrs to get there so didn't arrive until 5.40pm!
Was so bursting for a wee I thought I'd cry!
Had a bit of a chat over dinner, watched the show (it was good but very different to when I was in it, cast very young now), chatted in bar afterwards; went to curry house, chatted more, looked at time, had one minute to get to car park, got there, all locked up, saw a man who very kindly turned lights back on and alarm off to let me out!! That was very lucky and then had 1 1/2 hour journey home.
Tired now but can't sleep, been awake since 7am trying my best as start work at 2.30pm and don't finish until 7am tomorrow morning.. Oh the joys!
Now on to food, I checked out menu for weatherspoons, did a bit of research re syns and decided what to have.. Perfect. Until I got this text message: "weatherspoons smells of vomit.. We're in all-bar-one!". Looked at menu, didn't know syns but tried to pick best choices, ordered and then they came over and had run out of sweet potato that I was going to have with chicken, I said I'd have the salmon with new potatoes instead, run out of new potatoes.. Only potatoes they had was chips! No way was I having them! Really didn't know what to have, went for pad Thai, noodles with veg and sweet chilli served with a prawn cracker, no idea of syns but hopefully under my days allowance, didn't taste oily and hardly any sauce.
After the show the cast all went on to a curry house, I said I didn't want to eat as had eaten earlier (where did that come from?! I would have used do eaten regardless), was really hard sitting in curry house watching them eat though!
Also bought some Finn crisp but I realised I bought the wrong ones, as I opened them I thought they were thicker than normal ones used to be (haven't had them in years), supposed to have 6 original but these were traditional and I had 4 but going to tweak!
Friday 2nd November - Extra Easy (off)
Breakfast: bacon, baked beans, mushrooms, tomatoes
Lunch: jacket potato, tuna, sweetcorn, el mayo (1.0)
Dinner: pad Thai with prawns and prawn cracker (rice noodles, red peppers, pak choi, sugar snap peas, broccoli, sweet chilli sauce 10.0?)
Snacks: Finn crisps (HEB), light Philadelphia (HEA)
Drinks: squash, soda & lime (1.0), ginger ale (3.0), water
Total syns: 15? (I hope.. Depends on pad Thai)

Well here I am, alive but so exhausted, Mark said I look like a ghost as I'm unusually white and look so tired.. Attractive!
Haven't had time to get on here although have been on plan, must of my meals I've only managed to half eat as just no time so portions tiny and snacks although listed weren't finished.
Poor Emma has had me texting her, fellow night bird!
So Saturday night at work was mental, started at 2.30pm for a fairly steady 8 hours.. 10pm bang.. The US comes to life and its non stop until about 4am! On a usual day we have 4-6 long haul flights spaced over 8 1/2 hours with short hauls inbetween.. Instead we've got 2 of us doing 6 people's work, 36 long hauls between 2 of us, loads closing at the same time, fax machine whirring non stop and thankfully the normal night shifts were running us stuff over as we didn't even have time to get up and get the stuff of the fax!
Well

Talks to self!
Hole in the ground, with water at the bottom? lol
Sounds busy? Suppose it's the back log of flights out to the colonies?

Minis went funny and everything had disappeared so didn't think it had posted!
It's not a back log, it's because JFK staff can't get to work so we are covering all their work so all the US flights that come to the UK, our checkin staff and ticket desk etc have flown out there to man the airport as well and we're here doing the office work. Not sure when its going to get back to normal as the poor staff have no houses or loads of damage so it's on going x

I wouldn't say it was good but better than the one before! I'm normally prepared but didn't want to waste stuff so didn't bother.. Bad girl!
Quite enjoyed the baking, just wish I could eat more of it! X

Getting a chance to post now, life's been whizzing past, feel okay but bit iffy as heard about Lisa's mum, also 19 of my JFK colleagues are still missing and my next door neighbours cat is missing.. It makes my emotions run high, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone x
Tried the pepper sauce that Emma posted.. Mmmm, might have put a tad too much pepper in it though! I couldn't resist having a biscuit I'd made.. Well two! Didn't try the lemon drizzle but everyone loved it, was last day in office until 2nd December as on a course at Cranebank next week.. Watch out Kally as I'll be driving past you every day x
