Down Day

Today is just one of them days I suppose. Found out that I didnt get the job which I interviewed for yesterday, and which I really wanted although it petrified me. It's put me in a real downer. I really badly need to find a job. Everything is on hold until I do. No money, no car, no fun. And if we keep going this way, no money to pay the bills and the mortgage within another month. Its scary stuff.

The thing is also that I worked so hard for the interview and the application. There was an employment law test and I spent days restudying all the training I have done in the past, making notes and generally brushing up on it all. Solid days. Argh! What a waste of time. Now I feel my confidence is in the gutter.

I still have one job interview last week, which I havent heard back from, and they only offer when references are back, but seeing as I know one of my references hasnt been contacted, maybe I'm out of the running for that too.

I need to apply for some more jobs obviously but it gets very tiring and boring and just knocks you down with every setback. Makes you feel maybe I can't do these jobs after all.

Argh its just one of those days.

Weigh in Update Week 6

All joking aside, the diet has been going pretty well. Lost another 4.5lbs tonight at weigh in, which is a total of 30.25lbs! This is 2 stone 2.25lbs! Thrilled or what?

Also measured myself for the first time yesterday since day one, and have lost 5 inches off waist, 3.5 inches off hips, 5.5 inches off chest, and 1 inch off the right arm, and 1 inch off the right thigh!!! Woo hoo! Total of 16 inches overall!

Starting to notice it now in my face and also in my trousers!!!!

Weigh in Update!!!

Weigh in number three was delayed due to being away so had it on weigh in 4 day! So on Tuesday, for the last two weeks jointly, I lost 9.25lbs!!!!!! Woo hoo!!!!! Total now of 22.75lbs in the last four weeks!!!!!! Very pleased with myself indeed!! It's about 16% of what I want to lose to be able to become a mum!!!!!!! 16% is huge!!!! Thrilled!! Not expecting alot next week mind! But it's all going well, so very happy so far!

Mind you I should add as a disclaimer that while on holiday I stuck to my diet, just substituting my evening meal shake with salad and fish, a few nights, so I felt more normal!! I also cycled twice a day for about 20 mins a go, and swam every day!! Yep next week I will probably put it all back on!!

Last few days of holiday!

We had a great holiday, and over the last few days, we visited The Spitfire Museum, spent tons of time on the beach, and visited Reculver Towers. As kids, my Nan used to to scare the life out of us, telling us stories of babies crying around the ruins... babies that were buried alive. Of course this was a made up story to frighten us, and boy it did. Apart from this time, I googled Reculver Towers babies... and it appears that there are people who have heard babies cry. In the 1960's on a dig, the skeletons of up to 10 babies where found under the walls of the church. They were in perfect condition, indicating that the children died without prior conditions, and it is found hard to believe that the Romans who built the Church would have waited for 10 babies to die naturally, if they needed bodies... strange it seems but maybe my Nan wasnt spinning us a tale for years... creepy!!!! 

It was enough to frighten the life out of us, when walking in the ruins, behind the towers, we could see something on the floor just inside the towers! Turned out to be we think a kite, but none of us were brave enough to go in and check it out!!!!!! 

Been home a week nearly now, and wish I was back on holiday and in that sea every day!! 

The Mother of all Sandcastles!

So you think you can do better? We'd like to see it!

Start of another great holiday

I'm in somewhat sunny Herne Bay again at the bungalow with my parents,
Nan and Matt and Scarlett! We spent our first full day at Tankerton
slopes for the Whitstable Regatta. The kids had great fun on the
massive slide, Scarlett Gracie had her face painted... Until we were
rained off! Spent every day so far cycling several times, swimming,
kite flying and playing games! Great fun!

Yesterday the whole clan came for the day excluding my boring husband,
and little Amelie enjoyed her dinner al fresco while the family
watched the show Matt and Scarlett and Nanny put on full of acrobats,
impressions and jokes! Ame looked liked she'd come ready to perform
ballet!!! Sadly Scarlett went home that night so now it's just the
five of us and boy is it peaceful!!! Off for another swim shortly!!!
