Hi all, happy weekend, I so love weekends, today is a pj day doing some housework and prepping some meals . Thanks for your support but I'm fine, think I know who the person is and it's their issue, not a very nice person so I'll be smiling so sweetly and be extra nice lol.   carole, so glad your mum hasn't got sepsis I watched my uncle with that and it was awful. Hope you have a lovely video call, how lovely. Think you've probably done right re the op for you right now.   lily, yes it is lovely but I hardly notice the lakes which I must change, your OH is right, it always rains 🤣😂. Love rugby but the legs are just an added bonus lol. Diet going okay another 3lb so that's 11 in 2 weeks so hoping to hit my stone next week, few things coming up so want to have a good few weeks and actually enjoying it, but tonight is wine night and fake KFC so happy days.

Hi all, loving the long posts, I need to try and get on more and post more often.   good to see everyone is busy... nicky 1 year old how fab and a nice celebration on all counts xx oh I'm so jeleous of you going to Italy, think I'm having withdrawals from Italy, have you been to Bologna before it was lovely. It's been years since I was in London, last time was a flying visit for a conference.   lily, Barcelona is on my list too... how's it being back at school, count down to the next break? I'm sure you do an amazing job looking after everyone, I don't know how you have time.  Are you planning on a trip to the lakes if so let me know we can meet up. I live about 30mins from the lakes, to be honest take it for granted too much. I'm into bake off and tonight tried first dates hotel which was a giggle.   carole, seen some pics on Facebook and looks like you have lovely time with family. God news about your scan if you know what I mean and fingers crossed no operation needed. Lovely news about your cat, pets are like family.   Well not much to report here, bit of a mixed bag. Loving work and after my lovely comments someone sent in some anon. Feedback on our structure and made it really personal about me and it was really nasty so been a bit upset, but new head on, it's their issue not mine so I'm over it but will keep an eye on my list of prime suspects.   diet week 1 equals 8 lb loss but it just doesn't last, my willpower fades. Money's a bit tight at the moment so no holidays booked. Almost 3 weeks next may just with Mam and dad, they want to go back to Florida but I'm hoping to squeeze a nice day trip in somewhere different. Have a weekend in Manchester for the rugby in October and this group we have seen which is country modern playing all sorts is on in Blackpool on the way back. Seen them twice in other places and I'm hooked, although not hooked on Blackpool it's been around 15 years since I've been but it was handy on the way back. I think though could have gone abroad by the time work it all out... I'm going to have to save hard as my friend wants a possible few days abroad so I won't be able to say no, when I could do with one now.    Thats all from me for now, try and keep up a bit more. Night xx ... View more

Hi all, well I'm on train at this early hour one of 3 trains and 20mins walk or taxi for me in between then another taxi so thought I would finally post. Soz haven't been around it's been manic. We've become a subsidiary of another organisation which is around 50 times out size so me and interim M.D. been heavily involved as lots of governance and legal arrangements but it's done and whilst it's been rough upsetting and tough jobs are secured for 3 years and lots of money to upgrade our houses which is fab for our tenants. It was an emotional week for me... 2e arranged little gifts from staff from the parent company so we all got a voucher foe 25 quid and a mug and chocs. Then we had a board meeting and the day after I received a thank of them of 25 voucher some chocs and fizz and lovely note... then 2 days after I received a letter at home from the parent CEO saying they could nominate someone to review an award in their organisation which employs 5000 staff and she nominated me with 100 quid gidt you hers so been a tad emotional. Plus restructure and I'm being promoted lol.. it's all go and I've worked my butt off but nice to be recognised.... still talking about role as it's governance and legal manager and I'm not 100% on the legal side... Rest of my life has been spent with my friend whose getting married ... boy she's obsessed and doesn't work so lots of free time my what's app is going bonkers but she's finally got her dress but I'm so struggling I've gained so much weight and she's wanting to buy now and I can't for into anything. I've ordered some.online so can try on at home and yet to go into shop to try but wanting to loose some weight as I've just been having to much junk food and snacks whilst working so slimming world rejoin on Thursday wish me luck. So sorry hard to catch up on phone can only see last 2 messages... Sounds like a journey and a half Nicky but also sounds like you've had fun bit ready for a rest when handed back.
