[summergurl]

Iris you are all systems go at the moment aint cha!!! :giggle:
Set yourself an evening or day if you can get time off work or even a weekend day (i dare ya ) where its just going to be all about you and relaxing! You sound like you need it desperatly sweetie! :hug99: xx

 

[JanD]

I agree wholeheartedly!! You MUST take care of YOU! I have other thoughts too but don't have the time right now and they're probably not for the threads anyway - I'll pm you ... probably tomorrow now xx

 

[Scotsmist]

oh guys...you are my wee mates!! love you all.

I have had a bad day today....not foodwise ;-)

Too much going on, too many new stores opening and NO ONE TELLING ME and they want all the bloody meters installed NOW!! Hello...it takes up to 6 weeks!!!! I feel shattered mentally! I have a pile of papers on my desk that is freaking me out as I am always on top and organised.

Good news though......we appointed a new Stores Acquisitions Manager who started last week and he phoned me today and said he would now co-ordinate ALL info re utilities!! My boss has agreed! Which means that I dont need to run around the whole company and everywhere else to get one piece of info!!!! SO, hoping, hoping, hoping it will start to slow down cause there are 15 stores opening this month!!

Now, if that was all I did, it would be ok, but I look after 3 very demanding families and an industrial estate, and commerical and residential property! There is only ME!! come on.......and I am just Pooped to say the least.

Think I might take some time off weekend...would love to get away for a day and might even suggest this train thing in Yorkshire that we didnt get to for Tunc's birthday....just need a bit of fun!!

Anyway, less of me moaning.....Bee man not turned up, BUT, Tunc and Ted are off to Manchester airport to pick the Queen up....bee that is, not Lizzie !! hheheh...the bee man is a pilot so he hasnt had time to come to us, so off they go to the airport..asked me did I want to come....with a box of bees in the boot..NO CHANCE!! hahahaa...so, not sure when he should be back, reckon in half an hour!

Oh, are you all waiting to hear how I did tonight..hehehehe......DRUM ROLL!!!

DADADADADADADADAADDADADADADADADADADADADAADADADADAADADADADADA
7.5LBS OFF!!!! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEEHEHEHEH

But, to be honest, the weight isnt as important as the fact I havent binged and that is what I am focusing on..not the weight loss now, I want to think in terms of my eating habits!All very good and I am very happy indeed !!!!

 

[summergurl]

WOW! Iris! What a loss! FANTASTIC! And its such a boost aint it!

Make sure you do take that day out! x

 

[Scotsmist]

Thanks Tanya...yes, it is a lovely feeling.....even got slimmer of the week..haaahha..how mad is that!!

I didnt even do as much exercise as I would have liked this week with being so busy, so my time out is that I am going to get back to the health club and take time out in the evening for me!

Yes, if we dont do Yorkshire, definately doing something different and nice and NOT on the allotment, NO MATTER WHAT THE WEATHER!!

Saw about the thing in the paper about your bro...waw Tanya,,,,scarey or what, but what a hero! Lovely report about him...proud as punch you should be !!

 

[JanD]

Very happy for your loss Iris .. amazing!! But more than that extremely pleased that you're happy ... it's looking like there's a LITTLE relief from some of the responsibilities even though there's still probably more there than it's reasonable to expect one person to shoulder!

DO make sure you have that time at the weekend - you need it and you MORE than deserve it.

Hope the bees arrive safely and all goes well this time.

Being busy busy busy all the time is fine as long as you're fulfilled ....... ?? And all stress isn't a bad thing either but there's an optimum amount ... more than that is when health can suffer .... SO watch it YA HEAR????!!! xx

 

[kered]

Brilliant news on the loss Iris, really pleased for you, and more than that, pleased for yourself and how you are feeling. All good.

Hopefully you get out on that train ride and have some special time with Tunc.

Hi to the Queen from all of us.

 

[MiniB]

Well done on the 7.5lbs Iris, that's a fantastic loss and slimmer of the week too, go you!!

Hope you can find a little 'you' time this weekend, I think you and hubby would love that.

Really glad you're sounding so positive again and in control.

 

[Zenaworrier]

Take care
T x

 

[JanD]

Well if it's okay with you then Bev, we'll do it overnight tonight x

Done xx

 

[JanD]

Hope the bees are doing okay Iris ... not to mention yourself xx

 

[kered]

Hi Iris, hope all is well with you hun.

Just got me to thinking, after reading Tigers thread, that her Brother came to see her. What were the arrangements with your Brother, when is he coming to visit you?

Hope you are well Iris xxx

 

[irish molly]

Wow Iris, just catching up on posts as I have been busy. What a great loss at 7.5lbs. Well done. Mind you, it is no surprise as I get tired just reading your thread. You are SO SO busy. You will exhaust yourself with all the running and racing you are doing. Do take time out or you will burn out!!
Anyway, at least you seem in top top form so enjoy it all.

It didnt happen Mary! The brother coming here after his hols....I got upset and emailed him asking if things had really been resolved???? And he told me to stop being neurotic...all is ok and well, he is crap at communicating! So, feel better. We are going to go and see them in September when we visit friends/family...BUT, in the meantime, I NEED to phone them! This is my promise to myself and to him as I am scared to do it, but have to and I think it will break the ice; esp with his wife!!!!

I know Irish, never ever seem to stop. This has been the first year ever that I have been on the go non stop and it is starting to show !! But, I am enjoying it which is the main thing. the lovely sunshine we have had has made everything grow like billyo, so it means there is more harvesting, cooking, etc to be done I suppose!!!

 

[Scotsmist]

Just another quickie one for you all! I havent had chance to catch up with any of your posts, but hopefully I will!! Hoping that the cable arrives tonight AND that it works!! If not, well, it is a new laptop for me and this may take a few days to sort, etc.

I am doing well! At RC tonight and feel really good Had a good swim last night and felt clean, but not so clean today :-((( Not nice when there is no hot water! But, no worries...I dont really smell!!!

I am just going to blitz my desk today and try and get on top as I am so behind!

Planning on a week's holiday to London...never been to the theatre in London so we plan on doing this and lots of other things...actually really looking forward to a week down there! I love London and Tunc loves it as he lived there for almost 3 years, so knows the place very well.

Still not sure whether we are going away in summer, looking likely we will take 2 weeks at chrismas/New Year now, which I am happy with. Will probably just do a night away in a lovely 5 star hotel for the Anniversary! Might even ventue to Ireland!! Will see.

I am still as busy as hell, but with the grant app gone now I do feel a bit of pressure has been lifted and Tunc, bless, has been helping me as much as possible. I think he could see I was about to blow a gasket and hence why we are getting to the sauna every night (as well as to shower of course)!! Just being in there relaxes me and we chat and have a good giggle.

Anyway, I should really be working!! I hate not getting on and chatting to you all :-(

Missing ya and dont know what is happening about the meet now!! Not had a look.......

Take care !!

 

[JanD]

Good luck with your wi and don't worry about smelling - at least you're in an office on your own xxx

I'm not sure i know what's happening with our meet now either ... it's all very confusing .... xx

 

[MiniB]

Lovely to hear from you again Iris, you sound so happy and content at the moment too! Very happy about that.

Have a lovely time in London, I've never been!

 

[kered]

Aw sorry to hear you didnt get to see him, but I think the idea of the phone call will be a good idea, and like you say, it will be nice to break the ice with the wife.

Hope you get your laptop sorted and the boiler fixed hun xx

 

[summergurl]

Oooooh!!! Get on that phone woman! Once you have done it you will feel such a big relief

Enjoy London - i love it too!!! :heartpump: What show are you planning on going to see?

Hopefully you can get your laptop sorted asap xxx

 

[Scotsmist]

quicky update ladies
still no laptop...2nd cable and still not right! so just resigned to the fact no laptop for a while and just dont get on at work as I am super duper busy!!

Anyway, 4 off this week Feeling great and at the gym quite a bit and still doing the running, up to 4 mins run, 4 mins power walk x 3 times!!! Reckon we will all be doing a marathon one day together ;-) Now, there is a thought!!!!!

boiler now fixed, so had my first shower at home this morning, as been going to the gym every night, which has been good as I have had to exercise too!

all ok at my end, just missing you all and just frustrated!

will catch up properly at some point

Take care!!!
