still no sign of her 
absolutely knackered as been in Spennymoor at NQT training all day (so still had to leave house for 7am ) and then have been lesson planning etc since i got home.
Catch up properly tomorrow. Just tired and miserable atm, missing Amber like mad.. she would usually keep me company while i lesson planned by lying off the back of the sofa over my shoulder, chewing on my power cable or generally dribbling and trying in vain to lie on my keyboard.. even as I'm typing feel awful for telling her off for all those things now.. just want her home.

update:
a lady rang today to impart the following information:
Her cat of similar description went missing in July. Since then, two other cats in her street alone have gone missing - all tabbies. One, like Amber, never went further than a couple of houses away.
All tabbies, all missing over the space of 2 or 3 streets, all since July. Rang police but what can they really do? Really makes it difficult to stay positive about it though
going to ring the vets in the morning to see if theres any word - dont really know where the closest vets even is!
Got my observation back through for the business studies lesson and was graded as inadequate. Totally agree, the lesson was horrendous but at the end of the day, I have to learn from it and improve and I am adamant that by next observation I will be teaching at very least satisfactory level. I am happy with that for Business as its not my first subject - I want a good or outstanding for my ICT lessons.
Good news though, I have been asked to pilot extra lessons in ICT for lower ability students - so they will have an extra hour of ICT per week. So I will move up from 0.6 to 0.75 - almost 4 full days a week. Very happy about that, and still happy that I'm not full time as I can survive on the 0.6, so 0.75 will suit me down to the ground - can get housey things done on my day off.
I also have another announcement. I had a phonecall from the docs the other day and they offered me a slimming world referral for my weight - I love WW, but i have to be realistic - I've cancelled my membership as I wasnt attending, wasnt following, and was struggling to stay true to the diet. So yesterday I went to my first SW meeting. I didnt have time to look through last night so today I have managed to rack up a whopping 25.5 syns on breakfast and lunch alone (only shopped tonight - so grabbed belvita breakfast biscuits - 3.5 WW points, 11 syns and a can of bgty tomato and three bean soup and a slice of wholemeal bread - 5.5 WW points, 14.5 syns - as they were all I had - no milk for cereal, no fruit, veg, and 1 egg was all i had that was EE friendly.. but i couldnt stomach it at 6 in the morning!)
Having a really good read through so I can start properly tomorrow, though I am having a syn free dinner on Extra Easy - spaghetti bolognese
I have set a xmas goal to be a size 16 - not sure what weight that will be, but I started last night at 15st 3lbs.

I am so impressed with your post Rach. Despite feeling worried about Amber and recently starting a new job you have managed to get a new start with the weight loss. Massive well done for that, strangely enough I have toyed with the idea of sw again of late, at least theres not so much weighing and stuff. Hope it works out well for you.
Sending hugs for Amber, it must be very worrying but you are doing all you can and I will pray that she will be found safe and well.
Again I am impressed with your positive post about the job, it will improve and you are doing everything you can to get to where you want to be.
Have a lovely evening Rach you are my new hero xx

Really keeping my fingers and toes crossed that amber turns up soon hun i cant imagine what you're going through thinking of ya hun
I think you'll like SW once you get your head around. Our starting weights were very similiar we can be diet buddies and the SW minimins site is very informative with some great recipes. You must try the baked beans lasagne sounds gross but totally yummy.
Love ya hun xx

love it
Aw Rach,sorry to hear no firm news on Amber-huge hugs to ya and hoping for better news soon.
Glad you are feeling more positive at work-would they be offering you more hours if they really thought you were inadequate ?? I think not!!
As you know I've done sw a few times in the past,and it makes a nice change- I think once you get used to any plan you can get stuck in a rut eating similar things, that's when boredom strikes
Now I'm just trying to work out if this baked bean lasagne might be Harcombe friendly ??!!!
