i should really come here more often...I dip in and out of friends' journals but i need to make more of an effort on my own!
Sooo...I have now moved house, sold the old one in the lovely village, and moved to a bigger, detached house in the middle of loads of other houses. I'm still getting used to living in a mini-town, miss the village and hope we can still go back there when we next move.
Wedding plans are ongoing, been put on the back burner for a while due to moving and Christmas, but now I'm going into a panic about all the stuff I haven't done...going for a dress-trying-on session on 26th of Jan which I'm excited and nervous about!
As for my weight loss, I did indeed start Cambridge, and have lost just under 4 stone so far...I've been set the target of 5 stone by my birthday at the end of the month, which half of me thinks it would be nice to achieve, and the other half thinks is a crazy crazy idea!
Hope you're all well, I'll try to come back soon.... |

it's been a while...
i'm coming to the end of week 3 of the Cambridge diet - it's pretty miserable, but i'll find out tonight how well i'm doing. I lost 6.5lbs in the first week which i was really disappointed about, I think I've heard so many stories of people losing 10-20lbs that it really upset me...and it's not like you can control much of this, I'm only eating the soups and shakes and drinking water!
The first 2 days were horrible, headachey and felt sick most of the time, then i actually found that i liked the Chocolate orange sachet, as a hot chocolate...
the rest of the first week was fine, felt quite pleased with myself, but none of the energy bursts everyone talks about...then weeks 2 and 3 were just plain depressing! I've developed a bit of an obsession with everyone else's food - and cookery programmes, which is amusing.
Now I'm feeling quite optimistic since i know after next week i can have some proper food - only for a week though! |

I desire pampering and cuddles
I wish I had more money, a buyer for my house or a better job
I would like to be able to eat what i want without having to traipse to the gym every day
I don’t like the work I’m doing at the moment
I’m thinking of getting up soon cause i've been sat at my desk for too long
I miss Norwich
I’m looking forward to having a lie-in on Saturday
If I could afford it I would buy a big pink sparkly wedding
I would like to treat myself to a hair cut, eyebrow wax and manicure
On Friday I’m going to play boxing on the Wii as a form of exercise
I would be cheered up by someone buying my house |

what a weekend, I'm exhausted...
the weekend was spent going between a very muddy Glade festival and a flooded road at home - we were lucky as it got as far as the front door but didn't come in. Spent all day friday sweeping water down the road into the canal, so glad it's drained away now and fingers crossed for no more floods!

Bit of a strange and sombre mood in the office today - a bloke who sits fairly near me (but who i don't actually know) died yesterday in the toilets...
He had a heart attack, at first we heard it was an epileptic fit, but then the ambulance turned up and sadly had no luck...
Hmmm, feeling a bit spooked when i go into the toilets and walk around his work area...Just all seems so sad, especially it all ending at work, that's the place I'd least like it to happen.
I was listening to Neil Finn earlier, his song Anytime seemed so appropriate, you never know when your time is up, after all. |

| argh! buying houses sucks! |
[Jul. 3rd, 2007|12:22 pm] |

here's the story so far: saw a house we loved in the village, put ours on the market, put an offer in on the house in the village which was not accepted as we hadn't sold ours, house in the village sold, ours sold, looked round more houses not in the village, found a house in Burghfield, put in an offer, offer accepted, now our buyer has pulled out!
ARGH!
people should not be allowed to mess around during buying and selling houses! |

- in the past year I've done two market research-type things on blogging. the people asking the questions never seem to quite get it, and the one I went to at emap a couple of weeks ago described blogging as 'a fairly new phenomenon'...errr??
- a girl at work, who i've never spoken to before, came up to me today and told me i was disappearing before her eyes, which was a surprise, but a nice one. it made me smile that someone would notice, but at my weight, I'm hardly disappearing...
- might try and get one of those Anya Hindmarch 'I'm not a plastic bag' bags tomorrow, depending on how much of a scrum there is in Sainsbury's at 7am...
- going camping for the first time of the year at the weekend. should be fun to be with Oxfam people again, but I am a bit worried about the cold given that i usually freeze at Glastonbury and that's in June! Brrrr!
- my mind is full of weddings at the moment...Jon has until Sunday to propose (our 9th anniversary) and if nothing happens, serious words will be had. Wish me luck guys! |

| dreams |
[Mar. 27th, 2007|09:31 am] |
had one of those dreams last night that i just had to write down...
After Jamie Cullum put a video of himself at home on Myspace (in real life), I had a dream he opened a gallery and was chatting to people who went to visit...he started chatting to me when I was there, but then had to have a big group photograph - I think it was with his graduation year from Reading Uni.
The other part of the dream was that I was with a lot of people from secondary school, which looking back on it could have been seen as a reunion, and lots of them were singing football chants, none of which I knew. I then realised we were right next to Disneyland Paris, which reminded me of James, who was also on the school trip there, 11 years ago, and I wondered where he was and suddenly he was in front of me. He told me he was living in a fishing town in Scotland working in a bookshop, and invited me and a couple of others up to stay, but he said we'd need another car, to which I responded "but you haven't seen my car! there's plenty of room!"...
And then I woke up... |

| Race For Life - sponsor me |
[Mar. 26th, 2007|09:47 pm] |
It's time for the annual plea for sponsorship! I know I've probably asked you all in previous years, but any contributions are as valuable as ever...
I'm doing the Race For Life in Windsor this year in aid of Cancer Research UK, the world's leading independent organisation dedicated to cancer research. It supports research into all aspects of cancer through the work of more than 3,000 scientists, doctors and nurses. Over the past 10 years alone, thousands of lives have been saved through earlier detection and improved treatments.
If you're not already sponsoring someone, it's quick and easy to sponsor me through my page...
Here's the address:

This is a bit of a cheeky favour – my brother’s band has made it to the last five of Aloud’s competition to find a band for their next acoustic night in March, and they desperately need votes to win!
If any of you could go to the page and click on Vote under ‘Optimists’, that would be great! You could also check out their Myspace page if you want to have a listen…and feel free to pass this on to everyone you know!

Thanking you muchly! |

So now Christmas and New Year have come and gone and I'm quite sad - I suppose I need to start looking forward to the summer and the festivals it will bring! I had an ok Christmas, not really helped by having to come into work, so decided i don't want to work next Christmas between Christmas eve and new year. I don't quite know yet how i'll make that happen, but that will be one of my new year's resolutions, along with getting a new house and losing some weight, all of which should be achievable...hopefully!
Christmas was ok, got some nice pressies (still no ring though so absolutely gutted about that one!) and then New Year was quite dull as none of my friends from home wanted to do anything exciting, so we ended up round Jon's parents', but at least there were some pressies left because Jon's brother was in the US for Christmas.
So, not much planned for this year yet, Ben Folds this month, and The Feeling in March (if anyone else wants to go I still have tickets...). Hoping to get to IKEA sometime to pick up some bits, just about finished the decorating now in the lounge and kitchen - so nice to have somewhere to sit finally! |

long time no write...
had a mixed couple of months really, the end of the festival season hit me really hard, made me question even more what I'm doing with my life.
went up to Norwich for a brief weekend at the beginning of Nov, brought back so many happy memories of a time i thought i was going somewhere.
Then a job came up at work, which someone convinced me to apply for (i wasn't going to bother after the waste of time interview i had last time i applied for a position) and when my dream job came up i was too focused on the interview for this place (the job i didn't want in the first place) that i didn't apply.
feeling very depressed but can't see a way out at this moment in time, only the prospect of Christmas has brightened me for the past couple of weeks.
Roll on some change.... |
