Happy New Year!

Guess what my New Year's Resolution will be?!! Yes - to try to post more often! My posting this month has been abysmal and I do apologise but I think it is a reflection on how I have been feeling. I'm starting to feel a bit better but I know I need to make some changes going forward to ensure I stay that way!

Anyway, Christmas was lovely if rather hectic! I was back in work yesterday and today. I am just about to go an have dinner with some friends and then get back home before my boyfriend gets home from work around 9.30 so that we can see the New Year in quietly together!

I hope to be able to post properly tomorrow!

Enjoy your New Year celebrations and I hope you have a happy and healthy 2010!!

Merry Christmas!!

Well, I'm not going to apologise again for the lack of posts!! I'm sure you realise by now that it is because I've had a rather hectic time.

I'm sitting down for five minutes, waiting for my boyfriend to come home from work. We will then be getting off to my parents for tonight, his parents tomorrow and then home here on Boxing Day.

Work has been horribly hectic and I have really struggled. I have been so tired and very emotional - if I hadn't know better, I would have thought I was pregnant but I'm not. I have decided to definitely put in a flexible working request to work from home, I've got all the paperwork to fill in over the holiday. If they don't agree, I will have to seriously consider finding a job nearer to home.

Anyway, I'm feeling a bit better now and hopefully the break will do me good, I'm not back in work until Wednesday.

The good news is that I've lost some weight, I have now broken the 3 stone barrier which is really thrilling for me.

So it just remains for me to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!! I hope to post again after the weekend.

Darn it!!

Well, my good intention from my last post didn't last long - sorry (again!) but posting was difficult last week.

I was totally exhausted after chasing around with work. I spent most of the week crying for no apparent reason. Also my body was playing cruel tricks as I was a bit later than normal so had a day or so of hoping that I might be pregnant but I wasn't. It's taken a week for me to start to feel normal, a few good nights sleeps has helped!

I had a terrible day on Thursday, I was all due to travel to Coventry (again!) for a meeting which was cancelled at the last minute by the union rep for no good reason. I went into work later than normal, the car park was rammed and some inconsiderate b*stard had parked in my allocated parking space. The space is marked as a disabled space and as reserved for me by name. It took half an hour for the security team to find me another space as they were having problems locating the individual who had parked there. The problem developed further when they located him and he said he was too busy to leave his desk to move it!!!!!!! I lost it!! He spoke to my line manager after she sent him a stinking email and he said he would apologise - I'm still waiting! He did eventually move his car but parked it opposite my space - not in a marked bay - which made it awkward for me to get in and out of the space. People are so selfish and up their own a*ses sometimes!!

I'm off to Coventry tomorrow for the meeting which should have happened last week - lets hope the union rep behaves this time!

My weight is holding its own which is amazing given the time of year!

Still alive!!

Just in case you were wondering ... I am still alive.

I can't believe how long it has been since I last posted and can only apologise. Work has been totally manic as we have been delivering training workshops in Basingstoke, Bristol and Coventry. We've done six in the last two weeks and I am totally exhausted. The last one was in Basingstoke today and I am so glad they are finished.

Tomorrow I need to try to catch up with my cases and emails as I won't be back in the office again then until next Monday - busy, busy!!

I have now completed my Christmas shopping, have parcelled up and sent off our presents to Australia and also posted all our cards - wow, don't know when I was so prepared before.

The weight is good and I've had a lot of comments lately on how I've lost more weight which is all good.

I will try to post a bit more frequently but I am out and about quite a bit this week!!
