IT'S MONDAY BUT FRIDAY'S COMING

Back at work today after a great weekend off!
I had Friday off work and we went to The Motor Show which was really good fun, we had a great day out and caught up with our friends in the evening. I saw Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone - First time! I actually thought it was quite good!
Saturday we headed off to Canterbury for the night! We had a fun time just chilling out and enjoying the randomness of those around us! Despite our room in the hotel being the hottest room with windows that didn't open and not even a fan to cool us down, we had a laugh.
Popped in at Ealing jazz festival last night. It still draws a huge crowd.

COLD TURKEY update...........
It has now been two weeks since I have given up caffeine. It has been a long road and to be honest I am not sure I am there yet. I am still very tired and head aches are still coming although not as often. I am starting to feel a bit more "Normal"! Again.

I am back at the crainiosacral therapist tomorrow! Looking forward to it!

In other news, I now have my own laptop!!!! I was going to wait until after our holiday, but Pete saw a bargain today and got it!! It is very cool and in fact at this moment we are both sat in the living room n the Internet!! The reality is that I am starting my course in September and it looks like Pete will be studying too so computer demand is on the up!

ALTERNATIVE THERAPY

Although I probably just need some good old fashion psychotherapy, I went yesterday and enjoyed the delights of Cariniosacral Osteopathy. It was brilliant and although today I feel a bit tender, I can feel that she has begun to sort me out. It is the most amazing thing as she bearly touches you and yet you feel your body responding. I am going back again next week for some more!!

Looking forward to the weekend and som quality time with the man! The Motor Show on Friday and then off to Canterbury for the night on Saturday, fab! Some chilling and eating I think!

COLD TURKEY

I am not feeling any better, but I can't tell if it is migraine aftermath, this horrid cold my husband has kindly decided to share with me or the effects of going cold turkey from caffeine!
I have spent most of today just laying on the sofa. I watched two movies and a couple of crappie TV programmes. It is better to stay lying down as when I get up my head hurts! Although I have managed to download some tunes to cheer up my journey to work tomorrow.
Who could have known that drinking almost 4 litres of diet coke a day could be so hard to give up!!
5 days down in the caffeine withdrawal!

ACHING HEAD PART 4

Yes, you've guessed it the migraine strikes again! I was at work yesterday morning before nine and started having a migraine! My boss sent me home in a cab as she thought I shouldn't drive.
Well, I couldn't see!! Went to my mum's, slept on her sofa and generaly layed around all day! Still have a headache, but hope I am getting there! Back to work today, I don't like to let it stop me. I have decided to cut out caffiene, chocolate and cheese for the time being! So watch out, if you see me coming! I may not be in a good mood!

ACHING HEAD PART 3

Last night I had my third migraine in 2 weeks!! I am getting a bit fed up with it now and am not sure what to do about it! Plus I had decided last week to take today as a day off to just chill out do nice things and maybe some housework! I now feel a bit weak and wibbly and so looks like the day will be lost to nothingness!

BRIGHT & MORNING STAR

Big CONGRATULATIONS to Andy & Jenny& Ella on the birth of little Lily this morning. A new daughter and little sister!!

PIMMS O'CLOCK

So after church this morning, Ana came and picked me up and we met Pete at their house. We all put on our glad rags and headed off to Henley Regatta. Phyllis Court was our destination!

As you can see from the photo's we had loads of fun! Pints of Pimms. Champagne and afternoon tea in the ballroom!

For once I was extremely dressed up but did not feel overdressed at all with a hat thing on!

A big shout out to Stuart Barr who was Operations manager at Phyllis Court - doing a grand job and who got us in for the day!!

So the Yorkshireman, the Croat and the geezer from South London managed to behave themselves!

ACHING HEAD PART TWO

I have spent the morning in bed once again with Migraine mark 2! I had a feeling it would be like this as the migraines I have been having since Christmas have been coming in two's!! Not very pleasant. I had got up early in order to get to Kingston to go to Zara to find a dress to wear to Henley tomorrow and it hit me. 8:30am I went straight back to bed and didn't emerge till lunchtime. At which point we both needed to get out of our very hot flat, so headed for Brent Cross. Plenty of seats for the sick one, in doors for the one with hayfever and aircon for the pair who live in the hottest flat in Ealing. Managed to find a dress and a hairband/hat contraption!! Will reveal tomorrow!

As you can see, I have managed to up load a photo. This one is from a recent away day with my team from work. A great day out in London!
I LOVE LONDON!


The boat trip yesterday was a giggle, basically we went one hour up the Thames and one hour back again!! The sun was shining and everyone was very chilled out.

Anyway, I'm off now to sort my outfit out and prepare myself for my big day out tomorrow mostly by getting some beauty sleep!
