Signing off for now!

Well, we're off on our holiday tomorrow. The case is packed and the hotel is booke so we are getting quite excited.

I'm struggling with Bertie a bit, I find I can't eat much during the day but by evening I can manage quite well. The biggest problem I'm finding is that I am getting reflux at night which it something I've never suffered with. As soon as I lie down, I get an acidy sensation in my chest/throat. I'm going to try some Gaviscon to see whether that helps and when I get back from Ireland I am going to ring the bariatric nurse to get some advice.

My weight seems to have levelled off again so I think I might have to make more of an effort with my eating plan - I think I've taken Bertie a bit for granted. Still, my boyfriend could do with losing a bit of weight so perhaps we will have a bit of a health kick until Christmas!

Anyway, I'll sign off for now, will try to post more frequently during November - at least I have a shiney new computer, even if the mobile connection is frustratingly slow!!

Now - where was I?!!

I'm back in the groove! I have my shiney new laptop and am just getting to grips with it all! The laptop is swish although I do miss my old one which I'd had for three years and knew inside out. I'm still in the process of transferring all the data from my old one to the new one - it takes some getting used to!

The weight has been okay, I seem to be struggling with eating much at present which is good.

I can't believe we are off to Ireland on Sunday, I can't wait to spend time with my family over there and also getting some quality time with my boyfriend.

I'm hoping to be able to post a bit more frequently now!

Remember me....?!!

Well, I am alive but still computer-less! This is the first time I've managed to get my boyfriend's laptop to myself.

My laptop is back from the repairshop but I am waiting to hear from the insurance company about getting a replacement so I'm not sure how long that is going to take.

Things have been very busy, I spent the weekend being a domestic godess! I did some baking which is practically unheard of for me!! I made chocolate brownies and millionaires shortbread - quite successfully I might add!! As well as that, we had my boyfriend's parents over for lunch on Sunday so I cooked a fab roast dinner (even if I do say so myself!) and made a scrummy trifle. Shame I couldn't eat much of it!!

Bertie seems to be in quite a bad mood at the moment, I've had a few days now where he is not enjoying any food. Today was quite good because I just didn't feel hungry. I had a latte when I got to work then I didn't eat anything til lunchtime when I had tuna, sweetcorn pasta bake but could only manage half. Now I've just had some battered lemon chicken which was tasty but didn't go down too well. I stood on the scales this morning and I've lost another pound so I can't complain.

It is serious!!

Following my last post, this is the first chance I've had to get onto the blog. My boyfriend is at work so I have hi-jacked his laptop without fear of being caught!!

Unfortunately, my laptop is not going to make it. They fitted the new usb ports but they didn't work which means it won't be economically viable to repair - I'm gutted. We won't have it back until Monday and then we are going through an insurance claim - it got pulled off a table accidently and landed on the dongle which was plugged into the usb port - so it may be a little while before I have my own laptop again. I will try to keep posting on this one but it will be as and when I get it to myself!!

I've lost another pound - I think I do need a further fill but I will wait until after our trip to Ireland now and then I'll phone the nurse for her advice.

I'm off shopping in a moment, my boyfriend's parents are coming for lunch tomorrow and I've decided to do some baking - help!!!!

Problems, problems!!

I am hoping that my worst fears won't be realised but I think my laptop is going to have to go in for repairs as both the USB ports are shot and I need them to get on line as I use mobile broadband. I will try my best to keep posting using my boyfriend's laptop but, if you are a regular reader, you will probably know how difficult that may prove!

At the moment, I have the dongle plugged in to the one that is still just about working but it is wobbling about and liable to disconnect at any moment!!

So, if I disappear without a trace you will know what has happened and I will get back on line as soon as I can!

I am alive!!

Just to let you know I am still alive!

Apologies for the lack of blogging, my boyfriend has been on a week off and is now on mornings which means I don't get much time to myself and it is risky posting when he is around! Although he is sitting near me now, oblivious!!

Bertie is not playing ball - again! I lost two pounds after the fill and since then I've been playing around with the same two pounds! I think I'll wait and see how things are when we get back from Ireland and then I'll ring the bariatric nurse and see what she thinks about another fill.

I will try to post when I can but it might be difficult!!
