Jess's Diary - Weighed in a day early..

Crikey - is Mum OK?

Sorry bout Dad but well done him for getting new job !!

Does Mum get sick pay ?

My pregnant friend doesnt get any with her company - think thats is soo wrong.

STS is ok - means that you are maintaining, which in my book is abso finexx
 
Yeah, but it's only £79 a week. She texted me to say they're letting her work days. She usually does shifts so no nights or weekends.. how this will have an impact on her arm I don't know?? Sounds good to me though.

I thought it was the law to get sick pay.. I guess pregnancy doesn't count? £79 is the minimum, which is crap!
 
Your poor mum, how weird it must feel to not actually know how you broke your arm. Well done to your dad for getting another job so quickly and well done you with the STS.
Like your plan for tonight, I'll be doing similar as OH is going back into work once the little one is asleep as he has to finish a project so it's going to be just me, the sofa and a dvd - quite looking forward to it really.
 
Definately not Rach! I was just sat on the toilet (as you do) and looked down at my flabby tummy and flabby thighs (I hate the way everything spreads out when you sit down :p) and I have a renewed will to succeed! I think in the back of my head I was thinking it doesn't matter because it's only a couple of months until I'll be gyming it, and it's xmas soon and blah blah blah, I need to do it NOW! I am going to go shopping this Saturday for a Christmas outfit. It will probably get used for lots of things in December.. recycling is good though ;) I want to look good in it. Adam is in the kitchen making me a nommy chili and from now on I will stop being half arsed about it. I don't think I'll make the 14lbs, but 8lb or something will be a start :)
With this enthusiasm you can do anything - can you bottle it and sell it? That way you wont need to hope you'll win the lottery!
STS again, but it's better than gaining I suppose.

Going to the cinema tomorrow night to see Twilight, yay. Think I'm going to snuggle on the sofa tonight and watch children in need with some vodka and diet coke :)

My mum broke her arm this morning :( She can't remember how exactly, but she fell down the stairs. She woke up at 4am and thinks she either sleepwalked and fell down or was just in a really groggy state. She works in a factory and is worried she won't be able to work for 6 weeks. Bad timing, just before xmas. My dad was made redundant a couple of weeks ago, his firm went bust. They should get that money in 2-3 weeks hopefully and my dad just got a job today.
Sorry to hear bout your mums arm - hope she's okay and manages work! Hope dad manages to get his money through okay but so relieved he managed to get another job so quick!

Noooo :p Someone mentioned pregnancy! I am hoping my womb is hostile until I change my mind :p In many years.

HI hun hope you are well. Sorry to hear about your poor mum! How was New Moon -I'm off to see it Friday - can't wait so excited - I hope they haven't changed much from the book?

I enjoyed it :) Still don't love her as Bella, but it's been a long time since I read the books so she didn't annoy me. I need to read them again! Much better director than the last one I feel and truer to the book. Bring on Eclipse!
 
We've run out of money so I don't have much choice over what I eat this week. Grr. Got to eat what's in the house which is mostly freezer food.. waffles, oven fries, roast potatoes etc. Today had a hotdog and oven chips with spag hoops for dinner. I didn't point it, don't want to know seeing as I can't have anything else. Tomorrow will be fish cakes, waffles and beans (better I think?) and Tuesday pork, roast potatoes and veg. Getting paid Thursday so hopefully will have a little bit of money left to buy something different Wednesday. I have £20 on my credit card but may need that for diesel or something :p I'll have to be really good at work this week and will probably sts again but next week it is definitely on, haha.

I'm feeling really groggy, why do I always nap? I know I feel worse afterwards. I would probably have slept for hours if Adam didn't force me out of bed. I get very mean when he tried to wake me from my nap, even though I tell him to do it. Looove beeeed.

I just heard Susan Boyle's new song and she has copied the arrangement of Wild Horses from one of my favourite singers Charlotte Martin. I'm very mad. Charlotte's version is much better and she won't get any credit for it as she's a)relatively unknown and b) it's a cover anyway so she probably has no rights to it. If you're going to do a cover you put yourself into it and do something original. I'm sick of these bloody reality TV stars.. go write your own songs and make your own way.

Hey my lovely well done on sts. Sorry to hear about your money troubles hope payday comes quickly for you. I know that feeling well. Take care. xxx
 
I'm going to do the same at some point - I have soooo much food under my bed that is perfectly good to eat, just haven't gotten round to it! Pasta and sauces and the like. Obviously can't start on that now while I'm on CD :p but eventually!

I don't mind eating 'leftovers' as such, my meals always seem to be rather disjoint at the best of times, I'm very picky :p

Good luck anyway, here's hoping the lack of money sort of means lack of food and you lose anyway :p:
 
I too am feeling the pain of no money jess:(
My freezer is full & i say it all the time that i will only use whats in there then i go to tescos & see nicer things to eat & end up using my overdraft:mad:!

This week i get paid BUT i wil endeavour to eat the contents of the freezer cos my spending is getting ridiculous.

Hope your mum isnt in too much pain,i broke my foot couple of years ago & OMG the agony was unreal xx
 
I am lurking and sulking at the moment. Completely given up any notion of losing weight before xmas. Just can't do it! I have a dr appointment on Friday and I'm going to change my pill because I have never been such a greedy piggy in all my life! Since going on it I've put on more weight in a couple of months than in the previous year. Anyway, it was for my skin and is not working, plus it's the only pill to give me heavier, more painful periods. Going to try oral antibiotics instead. So the plan is to start January. I usually do about a month before I start to wobble, but I'm joining the gym at the beginning of Feb which I'm very excited about. That should help get me through the wobble. I won't have as much time to go to the gym as I thought as I have lined up another job. I'm going to be working for Adam's company 2 days a week. I think I'll be doing credit control and taking over some of the account's work as he wants to start retiring. Hopefully there will be a full time job for me when I finish my degree. I'll still have 2 week days off and the weekend, but I thought I'd be going twice a day sometimes. I will definitely be going 4 times a week though, maybe 6! They have a squash court there which I want to learn.. is it hard? Plus swimming, classes and gym.. won't get bored!

So I finished at McDs last Thursday. They took me for a meal Wednesday night (Indian) and gave me a big bunch of flowers which was really nice. I got a card signed by everyone with lovely messages. Got a bit emotional! I was rather sad on Thursday eating my last quarter pounder meal :p It will definitely be easier to lose weight when I'm not eating 2 McDs a week!

Degree finish in sight! I got my first assignment back, 73% :) That was professional development though which is the easiest. If I can get a first on that and my dissertation that's 50%. If I don't do so well on my 4 business subjects it should hopefully bring it up, though finance and marketing should be fine. I really want a 2:1. Plus I want to be a size 10 for my graduation! I can't wait for summer.. no more degree, hopefully a job, new house, money.. slim!?
 
hey Jess, just wishing you a fantastic xmas, hope you and Adam have a lovely one together xxx
 
Merry Christmas everyone :)

Thanks to those who popped in! I just came online to put some christmassy music on my iPhone then have to go dash off to some mince pies and entertain my parents. They made it here this afternoon finally after getting stuck at home in snow last night :)

I'll be back after boxing day to catch up with everyone. Until then! x
 
Liking all your plans or next year hun!

HAPPY XMAS! XX
