So what have we all been up to?

Work is ridiculously busy at the moment, we have a number of major product launches coming up in the next couple of months so getting everything ready to hit the shelves is taking a lot of my time, hence the lack of blogging.
Little’un and I had an unexpected day off together on Tuesday.  She had [...]

Weigh In

Good grief, has it really been so long since I last posted?  Time is running away from me at the moment.
I was too embarrassed to come on here and tell you all that I gained 2½ lbs last week, but I have lost them again now (those pesky pounds, they are always coming and going) [...]

First day of spring.

Yeah, right.
All the daffs in my garden are broken due to the wind and covered in snow.
It’s freezing cold today and damp.
Bah.

The weather – a very British complaint.

What is it with the weather at the moment?
Last week it was lovely – blue skies with a few lovely white fluffy clouds scattered about for aesthetic effect, light winds, actual warmth in the sunshine etc etc.  The daffs came out and all the stuff in the garden that we assumed must be dead started to make [...]

It has taken 9 weeks which is rather a long time to take to lose a first stone when you have as much to lose as I do, but nevertheless I am very pleased to have hit [...]

It was just one of those days…

Tuesday was the shitty day to end all shitty days.
It started with an early start – out of the house by 5.30am – to get to the other side of London for a meeting with a customer.  I don’t do early starts.  I am not a morning person.
All was going swimmingly until I caught up [...]

Pay Rises

The following rant has been inspired by an article in a weekend newspaper about poor pay rises in the public sector this year.
Many public sector workers are getting a pay rise this year of less than 2% and are threatening strike action.
I sympathise with them. Many do a wonderful job in often trying circumstances.  Nurses, [...]

Weigh In

Another 2½lbs off this week
I’m delighted as I wasn’t expecting as much as that.  I weighed myself on my bathroom scales before going to weigh-in to get an idea of what was coming and they showed a loss of a pound.  That disappointed me as I had been eating properly all week and [...]
