At least you got a syn total...I didn't attempt that one again today.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I've had 2 good days which I'm really pleased with

It just shows I need to keep on track.

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes you're doing well, I seem to have lost the plot a bit at the moment...sigh!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

My long weekend off plan really helped me to take a break from it all and I'm really enjoying all the fruit and veg again.

Work tomorrow so I'm off to bed. I have to work Monday next week as it's is my friends mothers 80th birthday so she asked could I take a different day off which of course I didn't mind so I'm off Tuesday and Thursday next week instead and she's off Monday and Friday and we'll share Wednesday instead of Tuesday

 

[janetelizabeth]

Maybe the change of work days will be good for you and how you feel about work generally....?

Yes I need to get to bed too...getting late.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Unfortunately I doubt it I really hate working Mondays.
I like and need my 3 day weekend to recover from the week before so next week will be difficult

 

[janetelizabeth]

Oh sorry...was just a thought! At least it's a one off then...

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Gosh no need to apologise you weren't to know
I chose my days off deliberately so it really throws me off when I do different days !

 

[janetelizabeth]

All I can think to say is a saying that an old northern friend of ours used to say "Such is life"!!! You're probably familiar with that one!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Ha ha yes my boss uses that a lot

[Jaffa Cake]

Day went really well thank you as I was able to get on with my work and my boss was out for a few hours which was lucky.
Only to Tesco by car so not really out no unfortunately

 

[Jaffa Cake]

On the way home I nipped back into the shopping centre and got the vouchers as they came back in store today
So that was lucky as there's no way I'm going over the weekend

I feel really upset and I just want to go back to bed as since Thursday I've put on nearly 2lbs.
There is absolutely no reason or explanation for it and I am trying not to cry or let it get to me
I haven't seen this weight in months since February aaaarghhhhhhhh

 

[ginlin]

Oh dear Jaffa,

Sorry that the scales are being so horrible to you, but as it has upset you so much, maybe best to stay away from them for a few days?

 

[Jaffa Cake]

It really is silly just how much my life is still ruled by them and I can't release their hold on me.

But my husband really cheered me up today by getting the Ciate nail varnish advent calendar today as I read it was half price in TK Maxx so it was £24.99

And it's so pretty

 

[janetelizabeth]

Ouch...join the club but of course I have no excuses!! I know it's hard when we can't keep away from them.

That's nice of your husband...he knows exactly what cheers you up!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I told him about it in the car when we were out and about today so he at once said he'd get it for me and we went straight to TK Maxx and they had loads
