Total Solution South Pacific

[Darcy15]

I'm a bit in the middle as I usually pack a few days before - my holiday in June will be strange as I don't know what size I'll be so will be buying a few things just before - though with it not being a beach holiday I won't need to get that much.

Good idea starting now though Darcy, will keep you in the holiday mood xx

I like to pack the toiletries and accessories well ahead of time, then clothes about a week before

.....makes it all seem more real to me

Clothes sizes will be interesting to see a bit nearer the time

Any more thoughts on the other job x

You'll have to buy a whole new wardrobe Darcy!

 

[Darcy15]

Any more thoughts on the other job x

I have given it a lot of careful thought and decided against it for several reasons

.......the contract is initially only for 3 months, training is in Birmingham as are the ongoing meetings, but the main reason is that the new job is with a company that is very likely to take over my existing contractual job - so I will be TUPE'd across and have my conditions protected, most importantly my permanent contract. Then I'm thinking there will be opportunity within the new company to move to other roles without all the hassle of changing employers

Oh dear, that all sounds very rambling - but it is a complicated situation I am in and things are very unclear at present :sigh:

.....and I don't want to jump out of the frying pan into the fire

I need some stability in my life after the hideousness of the past few years

I am on a roll with my weight battle, and want to devote this year to winning that war finally

...then next year, hopefully part time work and in a new role

Eventually Lynne - I really hope!

My red lace size 12 dress is a distant dream at present - but that's my aim

.....and to dance to Lady in Red with a dashing officer

 

[Darcy15]

12k done on the bike, my Davina app, and some kettlebell lifts

Weighed this morning, and some of the gain has gone

......going to stick to monthly official weighing though, as that suits me

Cruise is 5 weeks today arty0011:

.....not going to reach my target for that I don't think, but at least I can honestly say I have given it my very best

Suitcase is on the spare bed, and most of my bits and pieces in there

....luggage tags printed and done as well

 

[Darcy15]

Morning all

Just had a very nice compliment from a colleague about how much weight I'd lost - and surely I wasn't going to lose any more!!!!!


...lovely idea, shame I am still 8 stones overweight

 

[Susie58]

Ha ha. People make you laugh sometimes don't they .

Can understand about the job. No point giving up a permanent contract for a 3 month one unless it comes with an enormous pay packet .

Don't want to start mucking about especially with something that will effect your pension etc.

Going great guns with the exercising there Darcy, well done. You must be feeling some what fitter for it xx

 

[x-Katie-x]

Lol don't you just love it when people advise you to stop when you're dieting.....but they were nowhere to be seen or heard giving advice to advise you to stop putting the weight on

Can fully understand you deciding against taking the job, you know what is best for you xx

 

[Darcy15]

3k on the bike, Davina app done and some kettlebell lifts

Good day at work too - nobody yelled at me

Feet up now, and some TV for the evening

Ordered a dress pattern and some fabric over the weekend - for a summer dress - so hope that arrives soon

......really keen to get back to my crafting!

Sounds like you are being sensible regarding the job darcy.

I am with you with the one step at a time thing. This year is my weight loss year for me.
I normally try to do everything all at once.
That aint worked out too well so far so this time im taking it one thing at a time and see if that works instead

Wise words MM

Like you, I've tried to do everything at once with little success

 

[Miss Mac]

This year i made weight loss my priority.
Getting it off and keeping it off!
Its a full time job in itself!!

The other things i have on my list will only come about as a secondary factor. As in i wont say no if something comes up but i am not putting all my effort into it!

 

[Susie58]

Have you got a running total on your bike. You must have done quite a lot of distance on it.

Wish I could make clothes. Its a useful skill to have x

 

[Miss Mac]

Hope you have a great diet day darcy x

My sister and I did all of her wedding home made

...I made her dress and the bridesmaid's dresses, her veil and all the headdresses and flower posies. She made the cake and iced it, and did the table arrangements. Took us about 12 months altogether - turned the spare room into a studio - and I loved every minute

It was hard work, but I think we did a good job and she looked beautiful

 

[Trying hard 2014]

Wow... Clever Darcy


Sounds like a good idea to stay put for now on your job. Nice to dream though eh?

You are doing fab diet wise. Well done

As for the suitcase. I like yo pack on the day. I can't think clearly until the last minute. It drives OH mad!!!

Have a nice night :/) x

 

[Susie58]

Wow That's something to look back on.

Hope today has gone well x

 

[Darcy15]

Thank you ladies

Another day done of TS

A bit tired tonight so having an exercise rest

Going to have an early night as I have a long day at work tomorrow - have been asked to do some overtime to help clear a backlog

....extra spending money for my holiday

 

[x-Katie-x]

Wow sewing all of that is a major achievement, you're one hell of a good sister

Hope you get a good nights sleep and a good day tomorrow xx
