Aching...

Its 22:24 and I have just finished eating...I was supposed to go to bed early but that's not gonna happen! I started work at 8am this morning, which means I have to leave the house at 7am, which means I have to get up at 6.30am. However, my work mobile was in the bedroom and started chiming to let me know it was running out of battery at 6am...

I went to bed at 11pm last night and must have got to sleep at 1am...so I got 5 hours sleep last night.

So after working all day I got home at about 6.15pm...gave girl-twin some help with her photography, then went to the gym with my hubby...did lots of running, rowing, weights etc. then went shopping and got food for wraps... got home and helped girl-twin with her photography again, then had a shower...hubby made wraps...we ate them and here I am....knackered! Not tired...just achy. Bet I cant sleep again later!!

I have been to the gym loads lately...I put loads of weight on over xmas - and before xmas! I am now struggling to get back to the weight I was when I wanted to lose weight! The holiday in Cuba is a huge incentive to lose weight.

I am currently about 12 stone (167lb) which is at least two and a half stone over weight and I have enough time to lose about one and a half to two stone before the holiday but only if I am really disciplined. However, sometimes I have dieted and done lots of exercise and got nowhere...we will have to see...watch this space! I might even get a picture of me in a bikini and put it on here - that will put me off eating - and hopefully I can post an 'after' picture too....am I brave enough? ermmmmm....nope I don't think so!

I also want to learn a little Spanish - up to now I know Hola! so I have a long way to go!

Any hoo - as I have nothing interesting to say...I'll go....

first post in months...

Hello,

well - I lost the will to live trying to catch up on the the posts I should have made whilst in Egypt - and I gave up.

I am just gonna start from here.....

We have just booked a holiday to Cuba!! I am hoping I can continue to blog until then and bog whilst there... My other half is really good at blogging and is really entertaining and interesting! Makes me seem boring...although in real life it is the other way around! Ha! He is just better at writing than I am.

Okay to catch up....

Work....

I have been working in Guildford since July 2010...we are not supposed to advertise who we work for so I cant really say...I have been working on a team that I have got to really like and I have a good laugh with - they constantly take the mickey outta me - which I kinda like because its funny and not malicious. I work shift work and sometimes end up working really late. On a late shift I am supposed to work until 10pm but it can end up later than that and its a pain. I also live about 22 miles from Guildford and I have to park a mile and a half away from work and walk in. This is why I am moving to Staines on 27th February 2011. It is the same job just a different location and I have heard that I will be a lot busier in Staines and will end up working late more often. I will only be about 5 miles away though and I do get paid overtime...

So - I will miss my current team but I am really hoping I will like my new team...change is always a risk!

The Kids...

Eldest child is 19 and in the army. His other half is Harriett and they announced that they are unofficially engaged on New Years eve! That means he proposed and she accepted but they don't have a ring! I really like harry so I am really happy for them! He is currently in Kenya with the Army - I think he is only there for 6 weeks - so he should be back in about 5 weeks.

Girl twin...is at college doing A-Levels...she is driving me pretty mad at the moment - getting very grown up and I never seem to know where she is or what she is doing. I know she is smoking now which I am upset about...she has lots of friends and no boyfriend currently as she and her long term (just over a year) boyfriend split up about a month ago. I thought the emotional roller-coaster would be over after the relationship ended but with girl-twin everything is a drama. She is still lovely though and we get on really well...I would say she tells me everything - but lately I'm not too sure...

Boy-twin...is usually the one to cause me stress but has been the least stressful for a while. He seems to have calmed down and got a little bit of order to his life! He is also at college and is coping well but did end up doing a course probably too easy for him as he screwed up in his school exams and couldn't get on the course he was supposed to be doing! He is skating mad. Its his life as he has told me on more than a few occasions!!

I'll have to continue later - girl twin is stressing me out about going shopping...oh boy she is here now....
