Lou's Diary - onwards and inwards!

[prawnchopSuey]

Tell me about it! We have munched through about 3 tins of chocolates in the past week in our office. And yes, I have been helping...

lou we had 10 members in class tonight and i loved it

im dreading january when we'll be packed in like sardines.

it was nice to be able to chat more as a group with the consultant.

 

[Louise24]

Ohhh, very exclusive, think I may stay for class next week and the week after, then avoid in January ready for all the stoooooopid questions people ask, when all they have to do is "READ THEIR FE*KING BOOK".... ohh, this makes me mad (genuine questions are fine just the... "what so I can't have 4 slices of white toast with butter and jam for my breakfast and count it as a B?"...

Anyway, carols were rubbish, people weren't singing very loudly, was a bit painful, so Mum and I snuck off and had a pub tea, I had chicken with cheese and BBQ sauce, with a baked potato and peas - lush, and not tooooooo naughty.

Good Lou for the rest of the week now though (just hope the chocolates are locked away at work and not left out when I get in at 6am..... no, it's never too early) xxx

 

[mod-karen79]

thats a brilliant idea lou. lets face it class is gonna be DEAD between now and new year and im gonna make the most of it. for the first time EVER i love my class - there' a great bond between members and consultant. they were even going out for a carvery tonight for xmas and the consultant was joining them.

[Louise24]

Good work hun, I've managed the sofa and the film bit but haven't got round to wrapping presents yet!!

Walked down to the shop earlier to get a paper... I fell over, landed on my side this time, was sooo slippy and horrible, I was very glad to get back home.

Also - have got a horrible headache that I can't shift, am thinking I may have an early night tonight and see if that solves it.. my Dad reckons snow can give you a headache? I hope it's that and not the lurgy xx

[Louise24]

I agree hun, took me 1hr 25 today to do a 20 min journey home, am kind of glad as it meant I could have my dinner straight away and not pick.. an extreme length to go to I know!

I've made some mint choc truffles for sw xmas party tomorrow night, am really looking forward to it but... (I know this is weird)... I hate eating in front of people I don't know, so am wondering how I can take food but not take part in the eating bit? May busy myself making drinks for everyone...

Well today didn't go as planned, had to go into work urgently this morning so didn't have time for breakfast, luckily I'd prepared my fruit salad so put it in a lunch box and ran... anyway, was so busy I didn't get to eat it until 12pm, so counted it as my lunch and breakfast, eek... not eaten anything since but need to sort my tea out for after sw, else I'll see it as a green flag to eat everything in sight.
