Or not, I don't believe I've just spent 20 minutes writing a post and, when I tried to save it, the screen went blank and I lost it all - I can't even remember everything I wrote!!!
So, here we go again .....
My ticker is up and running again. I've had to start from scratch with it so it looks different. Not only have I jazzed it up with a new design, but I have also adjusted the goal weight by half a stone as I think I was being a little optimistic - I can always reassess the situation when I (finally) get nearer to that weight.
The good news is that I am seeing some progress on the weight loss front and am now only 1 pound off losing 3 stones. The pay off for this is that Bertie has been a bit of a brute over the last few days but I guess that is what I signed up for. At least he is still kind with the wine!
Speaking of which, I think I should go and crack open the bottle that is chilling in the fridge - it has been one hell of a week and I think I have more than earned it!!

So tired ....!!
Oh dear, I am sitting here thinking I have so much to post but struggling to stay awake. I keep staring off into space and yawning my head off!!
I had a late night last night, it was Children in Need and I was helping man the phonelines again this year. It was great fun again. The only problem was, some of the people on the later shift did not turn up and we had a surge in calls at 9.20 which was just before we were due to change shifts. I agreed to stay a bit longer to help them over it and ended up staying until 10.15 when there was a lull. My final call was brilliant, I took a donation of £500 from a guy. I was stunned, that is the highest donation I've ever taken - people are so generous. The callers are lovely, I had one call from a lady with two little boys, the call started with one of them saying they wanted to give money to the children who don't have grandparents to look after them!! Then his brother came on at the end to say he was watching Bob the Builder and that he loved me - it was so sweet, those are the calls which make it all worthwhile!!
I was shattered by the time I got home at 11. I had been in work since 8.45! I just went straight to bed and sleep.
We had a new bed delivered on Wednesday - it is just fantastic!! I get problems with my back so we decided to get a really good bed. It wasn't cheap but it is worth every penny. It is a super kingsize and is completely huge - I almost need a step ladder to get into it. It is so comfortable, you feel completely supported all along your spine. The only problem is that you don't want to get out of it!
I was planning to have a nice long lie in this morning but the dog went mad when the post arrived and woke me up. I then needed to go to the bathroom and she was asking to go out so I'm up, perhaps I'll sneak back in a minute.
It has been a very busy week, I was in London last Saturday with my friend for our bi-annual trip to see a show. This time we saw Calendar Girls - it was fantastic, I would thoroughly recommend it if you are thinking of seeing a show. We had lovely day out.
I then had to go back to London on Monday with work which was tiring!
We are out with friends for curry tonight which should be great and then my boyfriend's brother and his family are coming to lunch tomorrow so I need to go shopping at some point! I also have to go over to Bristol to get my hair done. So I probably don't have time to sneak back for a nap!!
I just hope all this activity, with little time for eating, is having a positive impact on my weight!!

Another week whizzes past!!
I can't believe I'm starting another post in disbelief that another week has gone by in a blur!
I'm hoping that I will be able to post a bit more easily next week as my boyfriend will be working lates, he's been on holiday for two weeks and then on two weeks earlies so it is always a bit tricky to post without arousing interest!!
Work is busy, busy which is good as the time is flying by. I had a trip to London on Saturday, I will post about that later in the week - we had a brilliant time!
My weight loss is now officially 40lbs, I will have to do something about my ticker when I get some time!

Whohoo!!
I'm not quite sure how or why and I'm certainly not going to question it but my scales seem to be showing that I have lost another pound. I'm not doing anything different, that I'm aware of!! I am feeling really good about it so fingers crossed it continues!
Still not worked out how to update my ticker so it is a bit out of date - will keep trying.

Back on track!
I seem to be apologising for a lack of posting again! I can't believe it has been a week since I last posted, where has the time gone?!
I am much better now, my back has eased and I can move much more freely which is a huge relief. I went back to work on Monday and was completely disorientated with my cases, still back in the swing now! I had my annual orthopaedic check up today and I told them that I'd been having some back problems so they have referred me for some physio which should help.
We got the new car on Tuesday and I am totally in love with it. It is so solid and feels so safe which is great since I spend so much time on the motorway these days. It doesn't half shift though! It is a Volvo V70 which is huge - I did struggle trying to park it last night, I had no idea of the actual size of the thing! It has built in satnav which is a great novelty to us, it is hilarious! She sounds quite shirty at times!
