I bin and gone and done it

went back to Slimming World .................. they're an OK lot - by the sound of it - quite a few very successful target members - hope they 'take me in' and include me. I usually go to slimming groups with someone - the last twice was with DH......................ah well, it had to be done. WASN'T as heavy as I thought I might be - 3 - 4 pounds lighter than I thgought, but STILL around a stone to lose, hopefully before Christmas ? - do-able I think. Well, Ive done it before anyway, but when I was much younger.

AND although you can basically eat and eat and eat on SW - I found that I was hungry today. Gotta get into it properly.

Will go look at house tomorrow.......................I reckon we should be moving in 4 weeks time - just in time for Christmas eh, but we knew that.

My ear infection, I thought was getting better, got excessively worse today and had to go to the doctor again. I gotta stop prodding it with things !

I am wacked.

Got so much on my mind.......................Kay wants all the accounts too and I haven't got a clue where everything is - boxes everywhere, this house is a tip - but we can clear it out to move to our new house and then come back here to clean carpets and finish sorting the garage and getting stuff to the tip - I HOPE.

REALLY want to do some crafting the weekend as I haven't had much chance to do it - and I want to send a set of 9 ATC's to Rhonda. 2 ATC's for the Christmas Swap on C.O.C. Get back to doing a few ATC swaps on UKS too - I hope if I can keep the ATC trail going, must post a 'we need you' I thought I had but it's gone AWOL unless it was taken off by a moderator?

Good news is that I am without Mrs Nasty at work for 2 whole weeks - lets party ! Bad news is that because she is away I will have to do 2 x 40 hours weeks, which lead into another good news thought that THEN when we move I will have 24 hours to take - which is almost a full normal working week for me..................although SHE can never cover a monday for me - so I can use 21 hours for a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday off.

Gotta get to bed, I am tired. (AND HUNGRY)

Gotta shop tomorrow for 'good' foods for the SW plan as me and DH and DD are all going to have a go at doing it - I would love to go back next week having lost, at least, 5lb's which would take me into the next 'Stone' barrier.

Fingers crossed. - and mouth stitched up. Tee Hee.

Tuesday 10th November already

Don't you just think that GOLD LEAF is so so scrumptious.

Love this ATC. EXCITED TO that RHONDA my lovely American friend loves ATC's - I'm so hoping she's going to get 'into' it - ATCmaking that is and swap with me and others. It would so help her to relax and enjoy her life a bit more - I think. She's arty - and lovely. I hope she does.

Awaiting a completion date on house - reckon it might be in the next two weeks - end of November, early December ! I think.

Really busy this week with change in hours at work and reflexology customers, plus next week and the week after my COW-orker is on holiday for a fortnight - THANK GOD.

strange week

my DS was 22 - we took him and Olivia out for a meal at Wing Wah Burton, it was absolutely lovely - they enjoyed it too.

22 huh - 22 years ago. It's all gone in a blur really, miss him as a baby, miss him as a little boy, he missed so many years being so ill and isolated. BUT I am so happy that he's getting himself together now and sorted.

Korin didn't get her job back - we didn;'t really think she would. Tried to contact this area manager to get something sorted for her to go back to work today but the area manager is rather cagey too - I feel really sad for her that at Christmas-time she hasn't got a job AGAIN - she's really down.

House is very advanced and looks like we shall have to move in end of November - which will leave this place empty! and us two further months to pay on rent at £750 a month - nightmare, but we did save over £15,000 on buying this house.

Will go up t house today and see how far they've got on with plastering - need to go in the week to see the site agent and arrange for tiling in bathroom to be full height, now Karen has left there we don't know whom to contact.

Mrs N - WELL she turned NASTY into NICE this week - so what is she up to - she hates me, yet is nice to me - something is definitely brewing.

OMG my poor daughter

they were absolutely vile to her at work - why does this happen - it's power mad people, trying to put others down. She is trying to get her old job back tomorrow, but I think it might be doubtful? Other than that she'll just have to do what she has to do to try and 'fit in' but I know how she feels.

our house has come on in leaps and bounds and I was concerned that it was too small - but I have to remember that I've been in the showhouse and it's bigger than the rented we are in - it goes back far - whereas I've been used to two houses that were 'WIDE'.

Feel really down tonight for Koz - poor poor soul, she was in bits. Rotten stinking bloody people, why do people get a kick out of being horrible to others?

Saturday again already - got to pick Keir up

take him get his bike.

I did an Aldi shop this morning only to find at check out that it was cash only - couldn't go get cash and go all the way back to had to forget my shopping - as IF I don't hate shopping enough huh.

Hope the picture of my latest 'glittery' background comes out OK, if so will post it here. No can't get a decent shot. Have uploaded ATC's for penny and loralee in case they go missing in the strike at least I can show them then a picture of what they might have had. Tee Hee.

Not a lot happening, AM doing crafting with Monica and Linda tomorrow afternoon - I hope, all being well etc. Will be making a folded 12x12 BIA book - I think, unless they want to do something they've brought with them?

Korin started at Quiz.

A keepsake for my friend Rhonda.

It has been a long time since I uploaded some of my crafting stuff. Not really been doing any LO's just bits and pieces, lots of techniques and ATC's OF COURSE ! Here are a few which is for Paper Wishes Site on the Net - I don't know what has happened to the Circle of Crafters website though - just cannot get on.

Just finished doing the housework for the weekend, better get the washing on and walk the dog then go do some shopping as there is virtually nothing in - Keir came over to bring his bike AGAIN to the repair shop and I gave him all the food we had as they had nothing and they have no money - I worry that they won't make a go of this living together, just hope Olivia manages to get a job - Keir can't, he wouldn't cope with a job yet.

So better get on then. Feel wacked ! Monica was going to come over this afternoon but couldn't make it. I feel that we aren't 'as good' friends as we were? I don't know - maybe just feeling down with all that is going on in the office AGAIN - we have been ordered to get on and shut up otherwise it'll be official Disciplinaries - I am so upset and shocked and now there is no chance of a transfer and I've ended up having to work with her. I just wish she would retire.

PLEASE RETIRE !
