how do you lose 2 thirds of your self?

:happy036: 2lb off for me today, really wasn't expecting that:D

must dash as have the first meeting this morning :eek:

althougth this is the better one and the 2lb was a bit of a boost:rolleyes:

catch you all later xx
 
Yippee! Well done hun - guess the red wine ain't so harmful after all ;)

Good luck for today xxxx
 
well that was good, meeting really successful and it looks like i might have a return to work date:eek:

strangly exciting even if it is still 4 weeks away :eek: ( just in time for christmas:rolleyes:)

occi health want me to do a graded return so it will be slow and gentle to start with :confused:

I have remembered today something i was told years ok about not taking on other peoples problems, the phrase was if its not your monkey, give it back.

so today i have released all my monkeys, gave mike his back last week and have let all the others go :D

so my new motto is

:airquote: It's not my monkey:airquote:

Hey sweetie,
Great job on the loss you are absolutely amazing :hug99: xx

:woohoo: return to work so soon, I am so proud of you....but please do take it easy, I feel like your 2nd mum here lol
You are so blinking right about the monkeys I do exactly the same thing and look what it does to my skin, I need to release all the monkeys too, but am scared I'll have a houseful tearing the place apart :8855:
Well done again sweetie and keep up the great work....oh and about the exercise, you're not mad just determined and I love it :bighug: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
I love that saying! lol We don't want other people's monkey's crapping all over us any more :8855::8855::8855:

Exciting news about going back to work - and even more exciting to hear that you seem really happy about it. It's amazing to here as it seems not long ago you were telling us how scary and difficult it was having to go to your work hospital when y'mum was poorly :)

Slow and steady with a graded return sounds the best thing - you don't want to do too much at once at get overwhelmed xxx

its more having a goal to aim for, i am so ashamed at being off this long it is adding to my anxiety,
Work isn't really the problem a stressful job hasn't helped but its not the cause, as my counselling has progressed i have realised that.
Work is the place i have always felt in control and losing it there was the proverbial straw:eek:

I know i can do my job and I am going to do it well, and not allow people to put me down any more.

Not only do i mother my husband but i treat my work like a child aswell:eek:
I find it difficult to walk away and am not above ringing at 4.00 in the morning to check something, i did the offduty in my own time, listened to everybodies problems and always tried to help others.

On my return I need to change some of that. Give it 100% when i am there but learn to switch off when at home:rolleyes:

I think i have become obsessed with work rather then face how unhappy i am at home and with myself, so couldn't cope when i started to lose my sense off proportion at work

I am looking forward to it but also a bit scared, I am sure i will be dreadful as i get closer but it's something i need to do, its the next boundry to push:D

lots of work to do before then need to get out alone and meet up with people but as you may have noticed once I set my mind to something i won't give up until i have cracked it.:D

hmm another mandy ramble :eek:
 
I likes a mandy ramble... damn it sounds like a chocolatey thing - getting obsessive this week lol

Learning to switch off from work at home seems a good thing. Hehe minimins and the gym can be your out of work obsessions :D

You've got your soundboard here to ramble and rant away on if you need to as it gets closer to 5th of december, and beyond :)
 
Hey sweetie,
I am another lover of the Mandy Rambles...I can't believe you are the same nervous woman that came here just a few short months ago almost sounding like a train wreck and here you are today (and I know how easy it can be sometimes to be more confident on here than you are in real life), almost ready to go back to work, having dealt (or dealing) with numerous issues...I can truly tell you what an amazingly strong woman you are, full of fight and determination...making the changes at home that you have will definitely make it a little easier to implement changes at work too.
I have no doubt that as 5th December gets closer you'll be a nervous wreck, but I also know that if anyone can overcome those feelings, that person is you and we are all here ready to listen and offer any advice we can, every step of the way :bighug:
I too am very very proud of you :hug99: xxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
thankyou all, i am sure you will see some spectacular melt downs as it gets closer but it gives me a focus:eek:

Well i had another mad morning :D
gym, dog walking and housework by 10.15:eek:
I then had a really nice sw friendly cooked breakfast and have done the dishes.

planning to make jackies cobbler for tea, impersonating a good housewife today:giggle:

that'll shock the menfolk.

daughter is coming home tomorrow, she always stays at my mums cos lived there for a while in her teens and is very close to my mum and dad, looking forward to seeing her cos its been a couple of weeks since i have. means i will probably be at my mums for most of the weekend
so need to do some careful planning.

think i need a nap now:8855::8855::8855:

hope everybody is having a great day xx
 
You've got everything on the go today lol

Hope you have a lovely weekend with the daughter back - how has she been getting on with uni (I believe that's where she went off to)? xxx
 
she is really enjoying it, shocked at the amount of work she needs to do this year but settled down quite nicely :)

think she misses munich a bit, but has just made arrangements to go to the prauge festival with all her mates from there.
It never fails to amaze me that i have a daughter who ultimatly wants to be an air crash investigater:eek::eek:

Any way food for today

B banana, fiber plus bar ( hex b ) prior to gym

L syn free sausage, scrambled eggs, bacon and tomato with 2 slices wm toast ( 5 syns )

T beef cobbler, muller yog

the beef cobbler was divine:D so thank you jackie :D

now planning what else i can do with the cheese scones cos they were so nice
think it would be perfect in a cheesy beany bake :eat:

having a fun evening trying to keep the dog calm cos it appears to be bonfire night tonight round here !!

i shan't start ranting about this cos i would be here all night :eek:

sound like such a miserable cow don't I :eek:
 
The plantain could have been me but I think I expected too much of it :giggle: ie a sweet treat thats free :giggle: no such thing. I have one more left so will leave that longer to ripen and try once more then I feel I can safely say I tried it :8855:

There are so many new foods I have tried and loved so the odd fail is okay :D

I have some harissa paste in the cupboard to try next week. The jar is weeny so I am guessing it packs a punch :8855: so shall use it sparingly.

I love the cobbler and have used it in a few variants now. I do feel it needs that few syns of grated cheese to make it comfort food :D
