JanD's Maintenance Diary. Into the 2nd year :o)))

[JanD]

Are you sayin' I'm loud??!! :giggle: Ah thanks Tan that's luverly

I'm taking my notebook so I'll prob be on a coupla times while away - anywhere there's free wifi But it won't be very often. I may text the odd status to FB but again not too many at 50p a txt from there!

Saturday 11th September

Mum's - Crust off a danish loaf with clover & pate, biscuit. Piece of cheese.

Breakie - vanilla danish from tescos

bourbon

Bed

Tea - Moroccan chicken with cous cous.

I'm about to go and make rolls for the flight. I'd be kidding myself if i didn't admit there will be some tuna & sweetcorn and some cheese & onion sandwich filler 'picked' while I'm at it - not the mention 'bits' off the rolls etc

I'm a wee bit concerned that I've got off on the wrong foot before my holiday has even started. BUT!! Whatever happens I know I can sort it!!! ?? !!!!!

See you in 2 weeks xx

hahahaha you know what i mean mrs! :giggle: hehe

Jan, you know aswell as the majority of us on here no matter what you always pull yourself back. You are the queen of maintaining, no doubt about it. Enjoy your holiday, relax and dont fret Afterall, might be another year untill your next one! hehe xxx

:fingerscrossed: you can get on at some point - think i might be lost without both you and mary on here!!!! :hug99: xxx

 

[JanD]

Ahhh thanks Tan .... It won't be another year till the next one but I know what you mean.

I'll miss you too

BTW - The 'bit's' of sandwich filler & roll turned into half a cheesey topped roll with spread and cheese & onion and half a wholemeal oat topped one with spread and tuna, sweetcorn & mayo filler ... should have known better than to buy a 4 pack of each when I only needed 4 altogether and I'm doing my best to forget about the spare one of each there still is in the kitchen!! xxx

 

[summergurl]

Jan, put them in the bin! They will be gone off in two weeks anyways so bin em then you really wont wana eat em! xxx

 

[JanD]

What makes ya think that'd stop me??? lol!!

DD & GF are staying from tomorrow so they won't go to waste. No I won't eat them. Looking forward to bacon buttie at the airport - a totally unneccessary but well tested ritual xx

 

[summergurl]

haha! Its always a must though having food at the airport. I always see it as the start of the hols so im guna have a nice 'meal or something nawty' before getting on that plane. Enjoy mrs xxxxxxxx :hug99: x

 

[JanD]

Forgot to put V&Cs on today's diary ..... not that it would have fooled anyone
Feel a bit mean as DH can't have anything coz of driving to the airport - not mean enough to stop me though

Have recieved 3 picture msgs from Jan - one of a sunset, one of her view from having lunch and one of her feet on the beach with a can of Greek beer! Judging by that she's having an awesome time and the weather looks fab there!

 

[Princess81]

Aaaaaw yay!! Glad she's having a fab time. So jealous about the weather, it's like winter is here already

 

[summergurl]

I know, it was bloody freezing last night in work!!!! :sigh:

 

[JanD]

Pinching a bit of free wifi again. (Can you pinch something that's free?) This town where we have to comne for John to go diving has free wifi ... I wish all towns did!!!!
We ARE having a lovely time. It's going dead fast though. Usually the first week seems quite long but not this time

I've been keeping a note of what I've been eating (how sad am I) but it hasn't stopped me! However yesterday lunchtime I had a coupla beers with some people we met from the Kefalonia forum John belongs to (see SOME forum members actually get to meet up ) then had a tuna salad and then a long walk in the blazing sun. When we got back I felt awful - bloated, a bit nauseous now and then. I think it might have been a combination of all of the above. My feet & ankles were swollen & I just wanted to lie down. Consequently all I had last night was a slice of ham a slice of turkey and a few gherkins. OH YEAH and late on when I was feeling a lot better - a few V&Cs xx

 

[Princess81]

lol well I'm sure whatever you've eaten you're burning off with the walking. Take it easy tho if it's making you feel unwell don't wanna end up with sunstroke!!
Enjoy the rest of your hols so jealous. I think winter has defo arrived here inthe uk! I've had to hook out the polo-neck, thick socks and big boots to stay warm Make the most of the sunshine xx

 

[summergurl]

Free wifi - the uk should jump on that band wagon!

Glad to hear your having a nice time and its sunny there. I'm with Jayne, the winter has defo arrived here You just wait untill you step of that plane! :giggle:

Hopefully the 2nd week will seem longer for you xxxxxx

 

[irish molly]

Jan, sounds like weather, food, drink and place are all fab. Hope you enjoy the rest of your time there. Poor old Ireland is turning Autumnal now with a chill in the wind and squally showers so very jealous of you basking with a chilled drinkie in hand!

 

[JanD]

Thanks peeps

Pinching that wifi again ... must mean John's diving!!

As for the walking! Not happening .... driving everywhere. Where we're staying this time isn't condusive (sp?) to a nice walk. We did that one last week because we met up with some people and thought we'd walk the long way back but as it turned out it wasn't a good idea as i said. But that was along the road (no such things as pavements on Greek Islands in case you didn't know) and that road was right next to the airport runway ... not exactly a pleasant stroll. It's too far to walk to eat at night, so I'm driving everywhere or staying where we are, which has it's own 'restaurant' though the food is more takeawayee than greek tavernaee.

Yesterday we had a meal in a place in the capital Argostoli that someone had told us about. I sent Tan a pic ... it was served to us on brown paper at tables covered in brown paper tableclothes

Anyway no exercise going on but i did miss another meal yesterday .... couldn't eat anything else after the brown paper meal until very late when i had 2 slices of turkey and a laughing cow light. OH YEAH! And a coupla v&cs

This'll prob be the last time I'm on till I'm back. Hope you're all doing okay xxx

 

[JanD]

***whispers*** Just had a chocolate croissant .... Well it said it was nutella .... that's s'posed to be healthy inni?? xx
