I unofficially decided to follow the 11pm Minimins curfew on a school night per FFNF, but I've only just had a chance to get on here properly, and its after midnight already!
Well Jennie, you are so right - a nice phonecall alarm clock is such a good way to wake up! J was worried I wouldn't wake up for work so he set his alarm for 7am in order to make sure I was up. It wasn't till he called that I realised that he didn't need to get up himself until 10am. Bless him, what a sweetie!
What a busy day, and evening too!
Left the house at 8am and got to work just after 8.15am - so that was good. The only horrible bit is on the A55 going through the Conwy tunnel. It's single lane at the mo because the oncoming traffic is contraflowed through the same side of the tunnel. You are just separated from them by bollards and the light in the tunnel makes it quite hard on the eyes. It only takes a couple of minutes but it freaks me out!
Work was the usual first day sort of stuff, bit of paperwork, tour of the building, meet the colleagues and make the tea. Well not just that, did do some computer stuff, and answered some calls. Day passed quite quickly. Did slip up when the leftover buffet sandwiches from a training course came out. After eating yesterday I was starving and I didn't have any breakfast because I had no food in my fridge and I hadn't got a clean blender to make a pack with. I really need to get tetras and bars sorted. Note to self, call my CDC tomorrow so I can start properly on Monday!
Finished at 5pm and drove home, again only 20 minutes and in time to watch Neighbours *lol*. I'm afraid to say that I finished what I started today though - I continued to eat in the evening. But I didn't do too badly, I had a bit of toast when I came in and a chicken roast dinner with the family for tea. No binge, no chocolate so does that count as progress?
Have had a very chatty evening, for me anyway. Firstly I chatted to J and we talked for 40 minutes without me noticing. I am really liking what I hear! Then went and had my tea and when I managed to escape my nonstop talking mother I came upstairs and called my ex FM to chat about plans for Saturday. I'm so excited - 5 days till my trip to Amsterdam! Hurray!
Then called P because we have been playing telephone tag since yesterday. He's nice but he doesn't make me smile like J does. He wants to meet up soon. I told him I'd check my diary when I get back from Amsterdam
. Was a bit distracted when I spoke to him because I was talking to J on MSN. Got rid of P and have been chatting to J ever since.
Have had a really nice chat and we have agreed to meet up. OMG *breathe*. He is coming to Llandudno on February 3rd. Just over a week! OMG, OMG, OMG. OMG I am still fat! OMG I don't really care that much, but I do! But I don't. Oh ****! What have I done! I really want to meet him because he sounds lovely but I am putting so much pressure on myself. I know, go with the flow. Enjoy it, see what happens. If it's good it's good, if not I haven't lost anything. Blah blah blah, yes I know it all but hell I'm still petrified!
Expectations!
He has a nice plan of organising a picnic and either going up the Orme (a lovely headland country park just behind my house) or to the beach. I suppose it depends on the weather. I guess that would be a good options because I hope to be back on packs properly by then and I could have a bar. Not quite as romantic but if it's important to me I think he would be OK and totally supportive. He's told his family and all his mates about me and shown them my picture. Bugger, that's scary. I told him that I didn't quite live up to it in real life and he told me to shut up! He's right I know, but evil old Mrs CB is not very nice to me a lot of the time!
Oh goodness I'm very excited but so scared too!

I'm all excited for you Sarah!
He sounds like a genuine guy. Do you REALLY think he'll judge you badly if you are heavier than you think you should be?
No, he won't. He's obviously very attracted to your personality and character AND he's seen your picture too, so that hasn't scared him off (!).
Try not to project your negative image of yourself onto him - I know that's difficult, because I do it myself regularly!
Have a wonderful time when he visits next week. I visit Llandudno every time I see my parents - we have to visit the slotties on the pier and do the 2p machines! Sometimes, weather permitting, we take the kids to the ski slope too. Me and my mum try to get away to do some shopping!
Good Luck, keep us posted!

Man, I am exhausted! This working malarky is not as easy as it looks *lol*. This is a quick post because I am quite tired. It's not actually the work, it's my body clock has still yet to adjust. I will be leaving minimins early tonight for my bed!
Work was still a bit bewildering but things did make a little more sense today. I think I'm going to like it but it will just take time to find my feet.
Unfortunately the diet has suffered again today and I have eaten. Started the day well - had a banana shake but by lunchtime I was hungry and picked at some of the left over buffet food from the second day of the training course. Had a walk to the shop at lunchtime and when I was out I callled my CDC. Gave her a list of my requirements for packs and she said she will try to come and see me one evening this week, failing that she will drop my packs off on Saturday morning.
Came home and have had some tea, but no binge. So that's a good thing! Was just sitting chilling out when my Mum called me downstairs, it was my CDC. She had got my packs together and decided to bring them to me tonight. So I now have tetras and bars as well as packs. Yipee!
I have 3 full days until Amsterdam and I think I will try and SS until then, more for damage control than anything else. I will be eating at the weekend and it might hardly seem worth it but I don't want to go back to where I was a couple of weeks ago and have to start from a higher point next Monday.
Talked to J tonight. He wanted my opinion on which hotel to book. The first one made me laugh because it was the hotel I worked in as a chambermaid when I was a student. He's decided against that one *lol*. The second one was the hotel that my mum and dad almost bought 20 years ago! Typical - the 2 he likes the look of out of hundreds to choose from in Llandudno. The second hotel looks like it's changed a lot since I saw it last and actually looks quite nice. He was quite excited to show me the online brochure because some of the bedrooms have 4 poster beds. I told him he was being presumptious and he said he wanted it for him . He has also just sent me a link for the b&b for the safari weekend and that looks quite nice - very quaint. I do hope I like him in person, and vice versa! He's gonna let me know when he's booked *gulp* then there's no going back!
I had mentioned the cambridge diet to him briefly in past conversations but when I said my CDC had been tonight I think he actually realised I was telling the truth when I said I don't eat. I think he thought I was joking before. I explained it to him, a little and said "I don't think you've realised what you've got yourself into, I wouldn't be surprised if you tell me all the hotels in Llandudno are booked up". He laughed nervously! I think he's used to women and dieting! I guess at least this way he has the information about me and whether he still wants to meet me is up to him!
Right, it's now time to sign off. I really want to catch up on people's threads but I am just too tired. I hope everyone is OK and I will catch up with you soon.

Another quickie *lol*.
Still really tired. Didn't want to get up but had a lovely morning wake up call from J. Had a busy day. Beginning to get a bit more of a grip on things in work. It's starting to click!
Also had a busy evening, needed to arrange my transport to the airport for saturday but no trains early enough (my flight is at 8.30am). After a panic I have managed to get a train on friday evening and will have to stay in a travelodge at the airport on fri night. Gosh, this one night trip is costing me an absolute fortune! Will be worth it to catch up with my pals. Got paid today aswell - paid monthly so it's till the end of the month. Only worked 3 days but got a tax rebate, so that's a bonus - just in time for my hols!
SSing failed again today! Doh, think it's gonna be a Monday restart! Did have a lovely tea with my mum, dad, brother and his girlfriend. It was really nice.
J called this evening. He has booked a hotel for 3rd Feb, the one he mentioned yesterday. He's booked a super deluxe room with a canopied 4 poster bed. I am very scared! When I came back from my tea at my mums J had MSNed me whilst i was off line along the lines that he was thinking that there was a change of tone in my voice when he talked about the b&b. He said he hoped that i didn't think he was in it for "bedroom fun" because he was there for the person he talks and types to and that is ME. All he wants for the weekend is a good time and a happy smile on both our faces.
Gulp, how sweet is that! I am really sad that he could tell from my voice what I was feeling because he has been thinking all night that he had blown it with me. I think my low self esteem was a contributing factor to my previous relationship problems (not all though)
and i don't want that to happen again.
I bet you all think I'm being really stupid don't you! I know - I feel rather silly myself!
