Jenny's moved on :)

[Auburn]

Thank you all!!

I feel kinda guilty that this morning, Biker would have been in Glasgow before I even woke up I cannot believe that he was up at 4:30 to go and look at a bloomin car! Ah well, if it keeps him happy!!

No real plans for the day - I said I would go to the supermarket on the way to Biker's this afternoon/evening, but other than that...

Have a great weekend peoples! xx

 

[Auburn]

Thank you Nik No need to stop your mind, all that happened was we had tea, put X Factor on, and BANG he was snoozing... Slept right through til 11am this morning.... Lucky me, a night of peace and quiet! haha

Ok, panic time...
My dad has had this posh function organised, for months. Its this friday, the 17th, and he had booked a seat at the table for the posh 3 course meal for both me, and Biker.
To start off, getting Biker to say that he would go was a struggle.
Then he got a glimmer of hope that he would be away with work.
Then it turns out, no, he will be here. So he's going.
Grudgingly.

Now I get home from my weekend with the fella... and Dad takes this opportunity to say that the function is BLACK TIE!!!

How the hell am I gonna get the bloke to wear a suit, he doesn't own a suit, he has one pair of trews that aren't jeans, and hates ties with a passion.
And more to the point, what the hell am I gonna wear.... ?

Gads.

Thanks pops...!

Roast chicken, broccoli and carrots for tea tonight... mmmmmmmmmmm

xx

 

[blackwidow]

get him one of those nice in fashion shirts with the white collar and cuffs though the rest of the shirt has a pattern / stripe on it. Its not totally posh but still posh enough and yet comfortable enough for him?

 

[Auburn]

Possibly, definitely a possibility..!
Late Night Shopping Thursday, here I come! haha. Either that or take an afternoon off work... eep!

 

[Auburn]

Wow, I have no idea why, but I woke up this morning feeling like I have been hit by a truck...! My chest and tummy feel all strange, kinda tight almost, and bruised when I move. I can't see any actual bruises though. Very strange...

I went a bit OTT for breakfast this morning - Had a toasted roll with ham, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. It was good I can't seem to poach eggs properly anymore though, these took about 15 minutes again, I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.! Ah well. Scrambled eggs are the way forward!

What do we have on the cards for today...
Work, followed by linedancing, and then chicken and potatoes for tea.

I went to Asda to have a look at the clothes, for me friday night thingummy. I have come away with a black linen jacket to wear over a green dress type thing, think it will look ok with some accessories, we'll see how it looks together tonight.
Since it looks like winter is upon us today, I got a WW spag bol for my lunch, it's not too bad actually, better than I remember! I also noticed that there was a *drumroll please, very exciting* weightwatchers pepperoni pizza in the freezer.... FINALLY SOMEONE HEARS MY CALL!!!!!
I have to go BACK to asda after work now and get that. The thing is, I have a ham & pineapple pizza in the freezer and a spicy chicken one in the fridge, can I really warrant having 3 pizzas at home?
BUT! If I dont get it, they may think there is no demand, and stop making them, and it will all be my fault.

Maybe I should buy 4......

 

[Mumma K]

Haha!!

Go for it Jen

 

[DopeyAngel]

BUT! If I dont get it, they may think there is no demand, and stop making them, and it will all be my fault.

You have no idea how often I actually worry about this re: things hidden on back shelves that I think no one else eats

All sounds pretty lush with BB to be fair. Ignore the tart poking her oar in. You both sound pretty loved up to me Jen.

Good luck with the job applications and also a huge good luck with the finding of suitable attire for friday. Nightmare!

Big hugs x

 

[Kater-tater]

3 pizza's? Thats nothing girl.
You know what weightwatchers are like for bringing out amazing things and then discontinueing them! Stock up!

Glad to be back and catching up again!
*hugs*

Buy 5!!! I was wishing theyd do pepperoni.... you need to keep buying them and making sure theyre still doing them when I come back to WW

 

[Auburn]

Hahaha, oh don't worry Sandy, I shuffled stuff in the freezer last night, there is plenty of pepperoni pizza space. And I told the fella he needs to get me one while he's at the supermarket, contingency stock see.... ha!

I went slightly over my points yesterday, but that's ok in the main. Because I also went to Linedancing Which the tracker says works out to be 4 APs. It was really fun, I had a great time! The last dance was a bit confusing though, so I kinda did my own thing, hah!

I told BB that he has to be smart on friday night, and I mean smart not smart casual, and asked if he needed me to get him something. He said no, he'll sort it. Thank frog for that.

Today's plan -
Work & Overtime, Pizza Run, Curves, Home & washing. The joys!!

Have a great day, people!! x

 

[Mumma K]

So have you had the Pepperoni Pizza yet ?
And is it everything you dreamed it would be ?

Haha!!!
Of course this discontinued theory is absolutely pukka
Ww make a habit of discontinuing anything that comes
out fairly edible in favour of wallpaper paste, rubber and
cardboard ha!

Have a lovely evening Ms MoneyPenny

 

[Auburn]

Not yet, no. Saving that for the weekend!!

My head is like mush tonight - So much going on workwise..
I did write a rundown of the situation but I bored myself, so decided no-one else wanted to know haha.
Basically, I got told last week that my job was getting sh.tter, so I asked a different dept about working for them instead in finance, ie, where I want to be.
Had a very positive "informal chat" with them

Then today got told that my colleague is leaving, which implies that I will be stepping into a higher profile role in my current dept, but nothing official yet. I dont want this role, its too... not right.
Then the finance contacts came across and asked me on the sly to send my CV directly to them, asked how much notice I have to give, and said they want someone in the role ASAP.

So.... Who knows what the future holds. I have a meeting with my manager tomorrow to discuss the future without the colleague. I dont think this will be a nice meeting....

I'm polishing my CV at the same time as writing this. In the words of Biker, gotta look after number one...

Night people x

 

[blackwidow]

totally agree with BB - look after number 1. You want a job you'll be happy in, not one that will make someone else happy x

 

[Auburn]

Thanks Nik, I sent off my CV today, so let's play the waiting game. BB made me feel all smiley today when I got home to a BAD letter and said to him "It's not my bloody week is it"... and he said "Not YET "

Have to admire his optimism!

So my bad letter - From the Student Loans company saying that according to HM Revenue & Customs, I am unemployed. Therefore I have not been paying my student loan repayments and they require backup to prove that I have been working for the past 3 months. Alternatively, if I am unemployed and living off my savings, I have to send them 3 months bank statements...
I am not unemployed, hell I sold fireworks in Asda 2 hours a day rather than be unemployed, I worked in a bloody meat factory, rather than be unemployed! I checked back and every wage slip I have for the past 6 months has a deduction to Student Loans. I just have to prove this to THEM now... Gads. More hassle I dont need!!!

Given the hassle of this week, there has been a considerable lack of planning in the food department which has led to, yep you guessed it - cheese on toast, and several ham sandwiches.

I don't hold out great hopes for this weeks weigh in. I have tracked everything, and all in all, I am 2 points over for the week, with my tea planned in for tonight and having eaten all my APs too. Oops.
My reasons would be that it is Mother Nature Time and I am under stress at work..

2 weeks in, time to check my September Aims:
*lose 4lbs - :|
*Have serious think and re-evaluate work - Got payrise :checkmark: Made enquiries :checkmark: watch this space..
*Gym x 12 - 3 down
*clear out clutter - 2 black sacks gone :checkmark: 2 boxes to go
*get rid of that metal shelving thing -:checkmark:
*pay off my credit card - Ah. Oops.


I'm adding:
*Try something new exercise-wise - Linedancing :checkmark:
*Try something new cooking-wise - still to be decided
*Get BB to socialise with my folks once - Friday night will count


I'm off to make some plans now... Sorry for being distant people.....x

 

[Auburn]

I wrote a whole post here earlier when I was at work, and read it when I got home.... oops. What was that all about? I'm not in a foul mood, I was this morning given a falling out with BB [but we're speaking again now, albeit through gritted teeth!] and words with Mother, but all in all I'm fiiiiiine

So I changed it.

I took the afternoon off work. Wahey

Going to my first official WI tonight, and I am being realistic and not bothered whether its up, down or STS. I've eaten badly this week, but on the same scale, done some exercise. It might balance, who knows.
I know what I've done wrong though, if I put on.
If I lose, christ, I can get away with eating a lot of chocolate.....

 

[Mumma K]

Ummmm Kals tries extremely hard to stop her shoulders from
shaking so she's looking very much like Mutley.

Oh Dear Jen
If it's gonna happen, it'll happen to you chick
hopefully you'll get the goons to realise they've made
a mistake and that you have been making payments
to your student loans
these peeps are so frustrating.
Hopefully you'll get past the gritted teeth with BB
and hopefully you do have a lovely evening Jen

But failing all of the above
there is one thing to be thankfull for

there is always that Ww Pepperoni Pizza

 

[Auburn]

Haha, hell yeah!! I have to get that pizza...

I lost 1/2 lb, which is fine. It's the right direction.
And next week, since you may have noticed I am a teeny bit of a negative ninny at the moment - I'm going to report 2 positive things every day.

Won't be about tomorrow - Madness with this meal, so have a great weekend peoples!! Sure me and BB will soon be past this blip. Either that, or I'll just dig a nice hole to bury him in.......



Im kidding. Murder's too messy

Keep smiling people!! xx

 

[Mumma K]

Afternoon Jen

hope your day has been okay so far
and you haven't yet killed BB ha!

Have a great weekend
my Pepperoni Pizza friend X

 

[Auburn]

Haha, no cuddle tonight, no. Should be, but I have a 50th birthday party to get to!

Last night we had that fundraiser for the local community. My dad had got Biker and I tickets for the event - 4 courses, black tie, and guest speakers - The Hairy Bikers..! The first course was a fish selection - mackerel, salmon, trout pate, something else... it was lush. The second was soup - vegetable broth. I'm no keen on broth, so I gave that a miss. The third, the main course was like a buffet of local produce - There was beef, salmon, coronation chicken, chicken marinated in different spices, and all manner of sauces and vegetables. I went for a beautiful bit of beef, with a creamy mushroom sauce, and veggies and potatoes. And 2 cocktail sausages, they were devine!
Then the dessert... OH MY GOD! It was a choux bun filled with strawberries and cream, and a scoop of the nicest sweetest tastiest vanilla icecream, drizzled in both milk and white chocolate... It was so good!!

We finally got back to my house about 1am, sat on the sofa in our gladrags drinking tea and watching South Park til stupid o clock.

And today - A nice long lay in, scrambled eggs on toast, a walk with the dogs, tea and cake with my folks, and a walk round the chrimbo section of the garden centre, then BB went home, I had meatballs for tea, and now I'm off to a party.

Good weekend

 

[Auburn]

Thanks Nik Yeah, I feel kinda calm right now.. this is something I am not used to..! haha x
