SOme pics from last night, I went to see a play at the Royal Court Liverpool (theatre) and we had a meal in the theatre before the play and then sat and watched the play, we had seats right at the front - it was a comedy called A Fist Full of Collars - it was so funny and great fun.. Afterwards we went to Lennons Bar in Matthew Street again. One of my friends and I caught a bus home and left the others still there (I found it SO noisey and it was giving me a headache!) It was a nice night out.
J took me shopping to Cheshire Oaks Saturday morning and I got these new shoes, they are so comfy.
I also got these lovely earrings
I wore this long dress which I bought on holiday in Devon, I wore it with my new shoes
The dress
Here we all are in Lennons Bar

It is Sunday night (2nd May). J and his girlfriend J went to see Neil's mum in the hospital tonight. They said they had lots of chats to her and that she was pleased to see them. I think it is so nice for them to go there, she needs that. I am going tomorrow night with Neil. I cooked a nice turkey dinner today and Neil's dad came round which was nice.
R is off to Alton Towers tomorrow with friends. Have been fairly good on diet this week, dunno what the scales will say in Slimming World tomorrow. I was quite annoyed and ok upset last night cos when I was going for the bus someone shouted HEY FATTY to me (stupid bloke of course). Ha, not nice eh.

Diabetic clinic went well on Friday, they are pleased with all my bloods, not so pleased with my blood sugars though, got to get these lower, much lower. Also they are not pleased with my weight (great!) and asked did I want to see the dietician. HUH? Not really no thanks. It's not like I don't know what I am doing plus I AM going to a Slimming Club - we shall see. I am going to have to make a effort to get blood sugars lower and stop eating crap and just stick to three healthy meals a day. Neil has gained weight lately too. I think we are under a lot of stress what with family stuff and all that and it's affecting all of us. I am stressed, Neil is stressed, J is stressed and it's making R stressed too. There's the stress of M (Neils mum) being in hospital and B (Neils dad) who is not well and is VERY VERY STRESSED and all the little family disgruntlements (thats the only word I can think of to describe it all). ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

The one good thing is Neils mum is looking better and getting looked after properly and the tests they have done so far are ok thjough she may have a few more tests to get done. It is lovely to go along to the hospital to see her smiling and having her sense of humour back!

 MONDAY 3rd MAY

Did not go and get weighed today, should have gone but didn't. Been pretty good on diet too. What have I eaten today?
Breakfast/Lunch - bacon, egg, sausage, baked beans with toast
Tea - CHicken soup (homemade) and a ww pudding with low fat custard

Not too bad though not exactly full of fruit and veg.

I did go for a walk round West Kirby Lake today with Neil and J which was nice in the sun, though the wind was cold. There was dragon boat racing on the lake. R went to Alton Towers today and had a great time, I am sure she will be knackered in school tomorrow. Boo hoo back to work tomorrow. I need a week off - ah I have a week off at the end of May - PHEW. I have told the kids we are going to Willow Pool which I Love, it's a fab place and they will like it too. The cafe is THE BEST EVER and wandering round the whole place is so amazing, it is all reclained stuff from statley homes etc and very old stuff and odd things all over the place, all of it is for sale - bit pricey some of it, but fascinating.

We are invited out to J's girlfriends birthday party with all the family on May 22nd or there abouts, which will be lovely. She will be 18 and they are having a big birthday bash. I remember my 18th I had a huge disco and mum did all the catering and I went to a printers with mum and got lovely silver invitation cards printed. I was allowed to invite 100 people = it was great. Pity I wore pink dungarees for it and looked about 12. !!!!!!!!

Then for my 21st I went out with a pile of friends to a club in Chester and they refused to let me in saying I was not 21 (haha!) so we had to go to another club which we did get into. And mum n dad paid for my holiday to Malta for my 21st. I think it is very important to have a lovely 18th and 21st if possible. I am so glad J had such a great 18th and I am hoping his 21st will be fab too - few years to go yet!

 Tuesday 4th May 2010

Work was ok as per usual. I managed to pop and see M (mother in law) in the morning briefly and J and J went in the evening.
Am a little bit bored with my hair this colour, though it is washing out every day and no doubt will look a totally different colour in a few weeks anyway!!!!!
YEAH half a day in work tomorrow. Am going dancing tomorrow night. Still have not managed to get using the treadmill (must must do this). Wasn't so brill on diet plan today (ate far too much bread). Nothing else going on, pretty boring eh?!

 THURSDAY 6th MAY 2010

I am so so tired, knackered. Work all day and then in the evening we went to see Neils mum at the hospital. Am going to my mums tomorrow night after work for 2 nights (just me) and my sister Teresa (youngest) said her and my other sister Vanessa were going out with a few friends to Chester in the evening and did I want to go? I might, depends really on how tired I am.

Still just about managing to eat ok though did have a noodle box today which was a waste of 500 calories really and then I tried a bit of Neil's meatball sub roll (microwave nuked one) which again was not worth the bother.
Breakfast was 2 slices of wholemeal toast
Lunch was savoury mince and a banana
So not too bad all in all. Must make better choices the next few days, well, all days really. I realise I have to put more effort in to lose weight! IF I get time I might go for a walk in my lunch hour tomorrow at work, even just a 15 minute one.

Ohhhh what on earth would I wear to go out tomorrow night? What have I got that makes me look slimmer? Not a lot! Not easy looking slim when you are a size 18 and short!!!!!!! Bugger.
