Hello having a sneaky peak from work - am very busy too busy to be skiving in here - having a good day - still no water though

I'm happy bunny have managed to buy parents bd presents there bds are 5 days apart grr videos lord of the rings for him harry potter for her! £5 off at woolies if you buy lord of the rings then another one!

Very organised Veggie. Wish they did similar offers on school trousers - 2 weeks until the little angels go back.

Have gone of the rails - the stress has got to me - have had a large bar of white chocolate - could be worse I could just be eating constantly - at least there is no other food in the computer cupboard

Where is everybody today ?

Nice pressies Veg. Carol don't worry about the choc, it's a vegetable remember....LOL!
I was reading through different bits today, don't seem to have much time for the computer of late, but there was something about excersise...I'm back on the rebounder, cos the shoulder is moveable again now although I'm only doing ten mins at a time cos I am a fat girlie and un fit..start slow keep going...

Hi everyone

Carol and the rest of the scottish ladies from around the Glasgow area...I know this is short notice, but I am coming up to Glasgow on friday and plan on going into town saturday afternoon. I was just wondering if any of you were free then and fancied meeting up for a coffee...its typical of me..I've known I was coming up for a few weeks now, but only thought about meeting up last night, Ialways leave things to the last minute :)

Well if any of you are up for it, send me an email to [email protected] and I will send you my mobile phone number and we can arrange a time and a place to meet

Ali :wave:

I am a sad puppy :( Got hit in the bum of my nice not even one year old car this morning on my way to work. Thankfully no one was hurt although my little car now has a few dents in the boot and on the bumper.
Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow....

Poor Chris hope your car is feeling better!

What I had for lunch yesterday ahem it was a birthday (not mine) pizza garlic bread 2 pints 2 wine eek!

OOh is anyone meeting up then?

Just read your post Ali - I would love to meet you sometime but this week end I have committed myself to going to Dundee. Let me know next time you are coming north and we can get together.

Am so tired hence the reason I haven't been around. I have had 2 very early nights - like 9pm !!!!!!

The jobs at work have been posted and the interviews planned for next week. 2 people have already announced they are taking voluntary severance - not a very pleasant time.

Am going to have a few drinks tonight - will make me feel a bit better - sorry but tonight I am going to stuff the calories and then wake up in the morning and put it all behind me.

Haven't quiet managed to put all my dispair behind me

Woke up this morning from a dream where an email was sent out announcing who had got the jobs before I had even had my interview In my dream I was outside the building in tears, being comforted by the most two faced woman in the office - you can not imagine how that made me feel After a few minutes I did realise that it was only a dream, but it wasn't the start to the day I wanted

Have a million and one things to do today. I need to tidy this house, all of it. Go to the library, get the messages in and I would love to make a fancy dinner for tonight. something very low calorie though - I need to get back on track and forget all about work for a while

Will be glad when we at least know who is getting the jobs - probably about 10 days away - hopefully not any longer. A close colleague is leaving next Friday and we are going out next Thursday night - it will not be easy to hold it together when he goes. Have never felt like this about people I work with before - but I have built some very close relationships over the last 3 years. (Not that close - get your minds out of the gutter)

Am using colour to cheer me up this morning - am running out of them now

Am off to cheer myself up a bit of retail therapy may be in order but think Ray wants to buy bits for the boys computers not what I had in mind !!!!!!

Carol luv, enjoy retail therapy, your colours have cheered me up this morning, thanks :)
Forget about your dream and don't stress to much about the future, you sound like such a great person, I see no reason for anyone to pass over you for someone else.
Have a nice weekend.
Chris.

Thanks Veggie for the condolances for the poor car. I have to have an insurance man look at it on Monday, so we'll see where we go from there...
I have actually decided that I must be a snob cos I don't like driving my car with a dent and scratches, but I am trying to convince myself I'm not snobby, it's more cos it's a baby car, not even a year old yet.....help please..............LOL!

I would love a new car, have never been able to pick the car I want, have had to settle for what is available second hand in my proce range - maybe oneday I'll be able to choose the make and the colour. Would love a silver car - wonder what that says about me.

Well this is day one of leaving the stress behind me and making some time for myself. Went for a quick shower last night and then covered myself in the bodyshop mango body cream - much to Rays disgust. he hates the smell of it. But he did rub some in my back for me, although he wondered why as nobody every sees my back.

So today I really need to go grocery shopping. yesterday i brought all the boys school stuff, 1 week and 1 day to go and counting. Today I have to buy the serious stuff - food. Will be lots of fruit and veg and vitamins - I definately need the boost.

Have yet to decide what I am going to do today for me - will definately be trying a short walk, but maybe a long soak in the bath later when the boys are in bed.

Havea million and one things to do today. Discovered this morning I have no childcare arranged for this week so I'm waiting until a reasonable time to phone my sister-in-law to see if she can help out. The joys !!!!!

Feeling quite positive about today at the moment - it is not like me to get so down,

Cya

Am getting bored now - need to go and get this day started. I have done one load of washing but want to strip all the other beds - what an exicting live we lead.

Would much rather be lying on a beach in Fiji, with a large glass of Fresh Orange juice with loads of ice - if only

Have my nephew staying the night - nightmare - 3 hyperactive boys !!!!!!!

Have eaten fairly well today, just need to keep eating sensible throughout the evening and I'll have cracked it.

Think TQ comes back from holiday today, prehaps when the schools go back Delaney will come back. I miss all the people who used to come here, Delaney, Kim, Sarah, and every one else. Please come back and chat. Not that I don't enjoy chatting with everyone else but variety is the spice of live.

1 week to school starts
