Weigh In
Hi
Had another weigh in this evening and gained 400gms in the week. Probably to do with the morning tea our GM shouted us this morning. Each Thursday she likes to come up and spend some time with our team and usually brings up some sort of biscuits but today it was a bag of my favourite chippies - plain sea salted Delisio Chips!!! YUM YUM! And I know I certainly had more than my fair share of them... but I am not stressing!
Am also contemplating only going to weigh in either fortnightly or even monthly for a couple of reasons. One being that it may help me relax more about the weight during the pregnancy (I would still monitor myself at home) and secondly it is further to go now since we have moved house. To save me time and petrol I need to remember to take the car down to Waterloo Station, then go to weigh in straight from the train and then home. I discussed that with Barbara this evening, and she is ok with that as long as I don't "disappear" totally as she wants to keep an eye on me.
Work today was pretty full on as the boss is away so was only L, the temp and myself and I had a big run in with the temp this afternoon. I was initally quite stressed about it but after talking to L this evening (she had already gone home) we are going to raise it with the Boss on Monday when he is back. L witnessed the inital "situation" earlier on but the temp didn't confront me until L had left.
Been a delay in getting the front door "finalised" with the lock situation but will follow that up tomorrow.
Oh Anne - the banana loaf receipe I used was straight from the Edmonds Book. Had never used it before and it was so simple and so delicious! "Annoymous" also left a comment about where I got the banana's from - not sure whereabouts you are from but here we have them in the supermarkets etc... so no worries about getting a supply of them.
Anyway, dishes to do... phone calls to make.... catch ya all later

Hi ya
Not too much to say tonight but am feeling much better... ended up finishing here last night and going to bed and crying myself to sleep as I had such a thumping headache! So went and lay down with a cold flannel over my eyes and forehead so between that and the crying I eventually fell asleep... but luckily I felt better when I woke this morning.
Work today was full on but another payroll has been completed and another mad fortnight begins tomorrow!
But since getting home, I have cooked dinner, watched Shortland St, baked a banana loaf (been craving one for a few days but had to wait to borrow a loaf tin from a friend), did the dishes, folded the washing, put the washing away, and have just taken the loaf out of the oven and boy it smells bloody good! So gonna go try a piece soon as I have never made it before! LOL
Not a lot more happening at the moment - oh we are 1/2 way through getting the front door sorted. The guy came today but could only do one of the locks today - the other one should be sorted tomorrow then hopefully things will be all sorted.
Anyway, gonna get going - not much else to say... catch ya all later

Hi all
Just a quickie tonight as I have a headache so am heading to bed shortly...
I had an awesome day yesterday with Helena, Jo (and Rhian), Janine, Janene (and Jorja), Jenny (Jo's mum), Anne and Felicity. Talk about talking, laughing, shopping and just lots of fun! I for one was a "good girl" and didn't spend any money on clothes - but did spend a bit on food! LOL I was most surprised when Jo turned up on time and I had the pleasure of riding to Palmerston and back in the back seat with Jorja - good practise is what Jo and Helena called it... and something to do with my short legs! LOL I must admit it was fun but definitely an eye opener at times! LOL
Got home to a lovely cooked dinner, dishes, made my lunch for today and then went and soaked in a lovely warm (but not too warm) lavender bubble bath before collapsing in bed about 8.45pm!
Today has been pretty full on at work but managed to be able to get away more or less on time (with L's help). My headache started coming and going about lunchtime and I did end up taking a panadol mid afternoon so am very reluctant to take another one this evening so am hoping an early night will do the trick.
Oh the stove and the element has been fixed, okay the oven still needs a good clean which Stephan has said he will do at the weekend. Still waiting for the locksmith to make contact but hopefully that will be tomorrow... and oh we have TV now after 10 days without it.
Right am off to bed.... catch ya all later
