NEW CD

I have a confession to make!! The most recent album I purchased was the latest creation from those lovely Hanson boys!!! Yes the ones who sang "Um bop!!!" And it is brilliant!

SO MUCH FOR SNOW!!!

I am very upset that as usual everywhere else in the country seems to get proper snow but we don't! People keep Lying to me telling me the snow is coming but it's not they are just giving me false hope!

Looking forward to great weekend with our great friends The Wickers! And also my Brother and Becky being around as miss all of them muchly and wish they all lived a bit closer!

VERY DISAPPOINTING!

Well the snow came but there is hardly any left this morning! It's not even frozen, didn't even have to scrape the car! It was great to watch the huge flakes falling last night but they have no lasting effect! I think it is now too wet everywhere that if the snow falls again it still won't settle! Very upsetting as waited all day for the snow to come!

Work is megga frantic(Hence very little blogging!), but I am doing my best not too work late as have a life outside of work!

Really looking forward to the weekend, as bezzie mates from Birmingham are coming down to stay with baby Lucy! (She's almost one!). Also my Bro and his lady are coming up from Exeter to stay with Ma and Pa and we are going out for a very good friends birthday on Saturday night!

Pub quiz was OK on Sunday we only came joint third this week!

I made Pete clear up and tidy his office on Saturday! He found the whole experience quite traumatic as I removed piles of paper from the floor and tried to establish some kind of better way of working! Pete just doesn't do admin and it is about all I can do!!! He can't understand why I can't play the piano and I can't understand why he can't do filing!

QUIET YET BUSY!

Well here at the office today, things are a little bonkers! There are officially no negotiators as 2 are on days off due to working weekends and the other has just called in sick! The boss man is not a happy soul today as this equals him doing an awful lot of work!

I had drinks with my old boss last night and then bumped into the head of admin from my old job this morning!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!!!

A big shout out to all those whom I love!! You know who you are!

Well as predicted it was a fantastic weekend!
Friday night dinner at a Tapas Bar, Saturday On the train to Waterloo to the Tate Modern, lunch and Studio 6 in Gabriels Wharf and then a mooch around Covent Garden. The plan was to go to Grace in the evening, but we were both extremely tired and just decided to stay in and a watch a DVD. Sunday Morning, we went for breakfast before going to church, then a large family lunch and the weekend rounding off very nicely with a tie break win at the pub quiz!

THANK CRUNCHIE IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!

Well it's gonna be a good day and a great weekend I can feel it in my bones! Here are the 5 reasons why:
1. The locks were not glued at the office today, so work started on time. No relaxing for me!
2. I spent my first ever night alone (Am a big sacredy cat and stay with my Mum when Pete's away!) It was great and slept like a baby!
3. Pete's coming home, sad but I hate it when he's not here!!!
4. I had a review at work and came out a grade 4 which is higher then anyone else in the office!
5. I am also feeling much better health wise, not 100% but better, I think I got myself in a tizz about lots of things!

So altogether a much more positive week! Work is hectic and if the market doesn't pick up, I may get more busy, as I will have to do both sale and lettings admin! Good job I have made myself indispensable!

IT'S THURSDAY BUT FRIDAY'S COMING!!!!!

Pete that titles for you! (Say hi to Tony!)

Last nights dinner was fantastic, thanks Rhi. Sitting round the table with great women who work hard and know what they want! One works at Kew, one for the Princes Trust and one at Tiffany's (She's a gemologist!), and then to top it all an inspirational Mother!

Laura - The pregnant one, is fatter than ever! She is usually the skinniest person I know!

Thank goodness it's nearly the weekend, not just because, my husband comes home tomorrow but also because I could do with a few free days, although I have already decided what we are doing on Saturday so that my lovely husband doesn't have to come up with some overblown romantic gesture being as it's Valentines weekend!!!

ALONE!

Once again I am alone in the office!

Thanks to my husband the conference hopper, I have been left all alone this week!(Big wave if you read this P!!!) Not actually true as have been staying at my Mum's and seeing friends tonight! Been quite hectic really! Looking forward to a relaxing weekend!

Today I have to attend an admin meeting and I am really not looking forward to it as I don't know the other administrators very well and for most of them, their reputation proceeds them!

Tonight is a big catch up with lovely friends one of whom is having a baby in April (Scarey!)

GLUE LOCKING DAY!

Well it's Friday and it is now commonly known in our office as Glue locking day! Yes once again my morning was spent in the coffee shop waiting for the locksmith to come and change our lock as someone had put super glue in it again! We are thinking someone might have it in for us!!!

I am feeling a little bit better today although still tired and tummy achey but am working on it!

THANK THE LORD!

At long last we have heard the news we have been waiting for and even better, it's very positive! The DFES funding Pete was waiting for has come in and his post has now been reinstated as full time! Hooorrahhh!

I AM NOT POORLY!

I am trying to convince myself that I am not poorly! Work is the type of place you can't really pull a sicky and get away with it! I was awake 3 times in the night for no reason and I am now trying really hard to keep awake! We did play badminton last night, but I thought it might help me to do some exercise and whilst we were there I was fine, but when we left we went to my Mums and I just zoned out!!!

Still no news on Pete's job, which is very frustrating!

Here's to an early night!

GOD'S IN CONTROL

AT cell we were discussing the different groups we find within the church that can cause problems amongst themselves. Like at Jesus trial etc, lots of different groups all thinking they are driving the situation, when actually God was in control working his purpose out, almost without them seeing. I think this is the same within our church today, there are lots of groups who think they've got it sussed, or they are in control of what's going, but we/they are all fooling our/themselves in a way as ultimately God is control!

WORKING

I am trying to keep very quiet about the fact that one of the admin staff is off on Saturday because I really don't want to have to work!

I am not really feeling any better and I think the tummy ache may be an old viral thing rearing it's ugly head! Had cell group at ours for the first time last night and it was quite good! We were missing two members of the group, but we hope they are feeling refreshed and better today after a chill out evening.

Playing badminton tonight! Time to get back into gear for fitness, not that I ever was in that gear in the first place! I really need to try and hit the shuttle cock!

SICK PAY

Today I am feeling unwell. It started yesterday, I have tummy ache and headache and generally feel groggy and Like I need to be tucked up in bed! However I can not take time off as I will not get paid, unless I take holiday! I have to be off 3 days and then get a Dr's cert before you get paid sick pay!!

Doing some sorting out last night I stumbled upon some of my old fat pictures! I still can't believe that a year ago I had reached my goal weight and lost 4 stone! However looking at old photo's it becomes a little more believable!! Back then, I was 4 clothe sizes bigger!! I feel like one of those adverts for Weight Watchers, although I have to say it does work even for me (very undisciplined person!)
