Bit of Friday diversion before I have to do some work....

Good
* Unexpectedly went to a poetry do last night and got offered a profile spot for next month!?
* Met one of my all-time favourite performers last night too, we were chatting at the bar![8D]
* Have an evening of drinks with lovely work buds planned?
* Have a funky lunch thing with rugby mates tomorrow?
* Have a date with a gorgeous, gorgeous boy tomorrow night?
* Have a lunch AND arts event with gorgeous boy planned for Sunday and I might be brave and use one of their open spots, eek.[8D]
* It's payday!

Bad
* The poster of Troilus and Cressida at Tower Gateway this morning scared me and nearly made me fall down the escalator!

And that's it - NO OTHER BAD!? My finger hurts a bit but the sympathy I am getting FAAAR outweighs the pain!?

    Indeed it is - three weeks today blimey! Though I need to email him as following texts of drunkenness last night, for all I know he now thinks I am an overexcitable weirdo!? He's really rather lovely, I am taking him out for his birthday and making him a secret dinosaur cake.??

    Couldn't get the time off work to get the rings sorted so will do it tomorrow instead on the way to lunch with some chums. I am not letting them rip me off!

    Congratulations by the way, hope it's confirmed, yay!?

    Good:
    * I got paid yesterday
    * we've got a lovely empty weekend of doing nothing - mooching, wandering round the shops, pootling in the garden
    * My dad's found someone to buy his car (not very big news but he's very pleased)
    * I've lost 2 lbs this week
    * I went on a surprisingly interesting training course yesterday and feel all enthusiastic about work

    Bad:
    * I've lost weight because of nausea and vomiting ☹️
    * We've still got 2 weeks worth or organic box parsnips to get through and every time I open the cupboard they stare out making me feel guilty
    * I really like my dad's car, while it's not practical for him any more he's had it for 15 years

    ? i appear to have lost some weight somehow, without really trying
    ? i seem to have money in my bank account, which is a novelty
    ? the lovely mr c'moonity bought me an enternity ring on holiday, and i didn't even have to have a baby for it ?

    [V] 4 more days at work to go
    [V] and i now have to wear a uniform ?

    Good:-

    My parents are going to move into my mobile home next month while their bungalow is being repaired after serious flooding. This means that they're in somewhere they know that's near their bungalow and it also means that we don't need to rent the mobile home out to strangers this year to pay the site fees. This morning, their insurance company approved the above so I feel like skipping and going a jig. Two birds with one stone!

    Bad:-

    Nothing much. The house is a tip but that's sort of normal these days. ?

    - just got a 10% payrise, which given that I now only work 2 days a week was very unexpected!

    - wedding plans have all been hassle free, and I am not at all stressed about it.

    - I have a lovely bottle of oyster bay chilling in the fridge and am going to treat myself to a large glass later on ?

    - Roisin is finally sleeping slightly better and stays down until 5am most days meaning i am getting a bit more rest.

    - I have a first holy communion to go to tomorrow and will see my best friend who lives in wiltshire.

    Bad

    - After months of looking, with no joy, I have finally found my dream wedding dress. Unfortunately it is from an American shop who don't ship internationally, and I don't know anyone in the US who i could get it delivered to who could send it on ?

    - I am feeling fat, despite dieting religiously and joining a gym [V]

    - Hitched is still very slow to load and its doing my head in!

    Had a fabulous dinner last night with H for his birthday

    Work is going amazingly well just now

    Getting my hair blonded and cut this afternoon (hairdresser is *just about* speaking to me again after the fringe incident). ?

    Bad

    I'm confused about a lot of stuff just now and am going through the 'change your mind every fifteen miniutes' thing which is driving me crazy. I'm coming to the conclusion that I'm simply impossible to please.

    I'm smoking again and although I love the old smokey sticks, I know it's baaad.

    Today was supposed to be the day I start going back to the gym after weeks and weeks of booking then cancelling classes for various reasons- however, guess which hungover hitcher slept in and missed bodypump.......

    Good:

    I'm just about speaking to Mr A again.

    The baybehs are asleep in front of Loose Women.

    Mr A says I can get an architect out to see if we can extend our house.

    Young Master A is stoopidly excited about going to Cub camp next week.

    I've filled in my career break application form, no more work for at least 18 more months.


    Bad:

    My dad has the hump because the tired baybehs cried when he came in.

    I just got a letter telling me my gas is going up by 28%.


    Well done Mrs Jess though, how fabulous.?

    I can foresee a confrontation between hubby and my family very very soon ☹️
    Work have seriously screwed me over
    I need a new job
    I can't be arsed to work while I'm in this job any more
    I never thought a company where I'm practically part of the family and have been for 9 years could shaft me like this
    Work have made me feel worthless and pushed out

    Ooh, there's a bit of a theme there with most of my bads!

    I'll do the Bad first as it will make me happier when I go through the good?.

    Bad

    • Had to have a filling on Monday when I went to the dentist which meant I was left with a numb face at work.
    • While at the dentist some lovely man gave me a parking ticket for parking in the car park and not the moped area. (which had been blocked by several cars)
    • All lines that went into my work went down making everyones job nearly impossible to do from the building.
    • Because of that I had to listen to lots of angry people. One of which made me cry.
    • When the phone company eventually came out on Wednesday they managed to cut our alarm cables and internet. Which made everyone else angrier.
    • Someone that I'd been chatting to online who I though was really nice turn out to be a complete fruit loop once I gave them my number as I ended up with 108 messages from them.
    • To add to the above I have also been having lovely arguements with Thames Water and CSA. Which has just left me drained.


    Good
    • Was out on Wednesday after a horrid day with a friend and got very ? First time out in a long time.
    • Had a baliff knock on the door for my ex and I gladly pointed him the right direction and was extremerly grateful that I don't have to deal with that stuff anymore
    • Had my driving lesson today which went really well. Although I'm now getting slightly worried about next week as I'm going to be going into the centre of town.


    and lastly my manager came over with a bottle of wine each for me and my colleage as a thank you for all the hard work we've put in this week.
