CWWM I slip you a wee slice from dhs, I'll be nice to him he won't notice

Thanks PBM have a lovely time tonight .

TA - how'd it go?
answer tomorrow, have fun tonight!

Plum- you too!
Well, mixture of extreme willpower & lucky hormones.
as i dropped feeds, i lost some weight, stopping bf (in Jan) helped lose some more.
I've changed some things, eg fat milk=skimmed milk, butter=marg, sprite=diet coke, etc.
and been really strict on playgroups/playdates just 'saying no!' to bisuits, etc. have found some Go Ahead bars that i like that i take with me when i'm going out, or satsumas.
Still allowed myself some treats though, mostly at weekends (so Fri is my 'lowest' point normally).

I have my brother's wedding in Bermuda in June when I have to be in swimsuit-shape!

It's tomorrow now so I;m allowed to update right?

Interview went well, they set me a test (proofreading something) which I hadn;t wuite finished at the end of the time allowed - I guess I was concentrating too hard at being pedantic. They are nterviewing a few other people though so I;m not going to get my hoes up too much,.

Dinner tonight was nice, saw a few people who I hadn't seen for ages but wish I had. Laos saw quite a few people who I thought 'who on earth were you?'!

SO I;d say the interview went well even if I don't get the job I will feel more confident in my interviewing and presentationing skills.

Luckily my firneds are happy to admit that we dno't want to go out clubbing any more, so I am home now (bar kicked us out!)

Sorry for typos of course - not as bad as my after-viva typing when I had to concentrate very hard on every keystroke!

Morning all

TA - all sounds good, hope you got a good night's sleep.

Not too awful here but still not great.

Good luck with the floor-laying alice- remember that all DIY jobs are measured not in time but in how many cups of tea you need to drink to do it, and you need strong brown tea, not ceylon or earl grey.

Enjoy your facial thingy JKS
