Sorry it has been so long..

My life has been so hectic lately. The builders and the decorator have been working really hard, and my room is all but done now. We have started puttin gall of the furniture back in it, and I have ordered a new wardrobe and chest of drawers. Need to get a new computer chair I think as the old one is too big and I dont like it any more.

Work has been super busy and I have been putting loads of systems and trying to get him back on track - it is starting to work though (I hope)

The double FITA at exmouth went really well last weekend and I finished the results of last night, so that is all good and done, and I just have to send off the booklet now.

I have been applying for lots of jobs and hopefully something comes back good for me, because I love the job in Exmouth but I need more hours, and I would like to travel less.

But what you all want to know is how the weight loss is going.

Welll!!!!! I made it to the stone last week :D woopwoop. So far it is one stone and half a pound.

I have had a bit of a bad week this week though. I just havent felt like I have been 'dieting' and I have been a bit down.

Anyways, on wards and upwards. Going to finish off the rest of this booklet and my job applications and then I will be getting an early night tonight because we have the Carboot sale at Exmouth tomorrow morning.

Speak to you again soon - I PROMISE.

Ciao for now, and thankyou for everything so far

What a lot of cr*p..

.. am currently watching the derren brown program and it is completely rubbish.There is no way that they can make people see.

Was a bit of a busy day today, went to the opticians and got my eyes tested, and also finished off the Cobalt study. Didnt realise that it had been a year now! Was nice to help them though, and look forward to seeing the results in a year or so's time.

The brownie went down well i think :) Will ask them tomorrow

I have got work in the morning, am so tired I am going to finish watching this rubbish, and then I am going to go to sleep.

Night night all. Please keep donating xxx

Day of doing nothing :) Yay!!

Woke up this morning and cuddled up with Jase a bit, and then we had breakfast and watched tv for most of the morning and over lunch. When Jase went home, I got dressed and went to Tesco, and bought the stuff to cook brownies with.
I dropped off the ingredients with mum and then went into town and got my hari cut for £9. It is really nice and he did a good job :). He was French :) lol

Came home and made the brownies for the builders and then made myself Quorn bolognaise without the spaghetti - as everyone else was eating from the chip shop. We all sat and watched Doctor Who whilst we ate dinner, and I really enjoyed it :) Was a very good episode.

Sat and watched CSI and Flashfoward this evening, and now I am just chilling out on the sofa in my pj's with 'most shocking' on tv, and playing on farmville :)

Off to sleep now, night night all xxx

Another day..

...and it was a tiring one again. Got up this morning (after picking up my Uncle from in town last night), got dressed, had a cup of tea, made the builders some tea and then went off to work.

Did a lot of paperwork and made loads of phonecalls, invoices and made up some trophies and medals for Exmouth Town Ladies FC. Came home and went to the Job centre to sign on. Then went and picked up grandad's prescription. Then came home and made a green cake for Phil's bday tomorrow.

The builders declared their love for me ;) Dont know whether I want Pedro, Sid or Lewis though :) haha they are all gorgeous :) Not as gorgeous as my sexy boyfriend though :P Love you dear <3

Then I prepared dinner and Jase came over. Just slobbed on the sofa since :P

Looking forward to the weigh in on tuesday :)

Thankyou for donations so far, but please keep donating :)

Busy Week . . .

and I am really really tired :(

Sorry I havent written for the last couple of days. It has been a very busy and tiring week so far.
Yesterday I went to Uncle Brian's funeral. Was so very sad and I cried all the way through. Emma and Carol didnt cope very well and they were crying so much. I wish I could have done more for them.

Came back last night and went to Jase's house. Went to the weigh in at Tesco's down there and I have lost 3lbs this week :) So Chuffed. Thats 10lbs in total now :D

So got up this morning and went to work for the day, was ok but very vey tiring. Came back this afternoon and went to the hospital. They want to see me back in 6 weeks because my vocal chords are still red and swollen.

Speak to you soonies :)

Another day of depression...

...so bad I was in tears most of the day again. Going to have to get it sorted out soon. But cant until the week is over, as I have so much going on, and so many people to look after... no time for me at the moment.

Only got dressed and showered at about 5pm and then cried some more. I came over to Jase's this evening at about 7pm after lots of crying on the phone, and had dinner at about 9pm.

I hope I get a good nights sleep tonight, I think I am going to need it, as not going to get much sleep tomorrow and the night after.

Funeral on wednesday - not looking forward to it, but I must pay my respects for the family.

Am off to cuddle up in bed with Jase now.

Please keep donating everyone.. as you can see, I need your help

I have a cold...

.. or something like that. My nose is blocked and my throat is sore. I have been using decongestant spray.. wanted to use echinaecea but it is buried somewhere in my boxes for my room. Have such a busy week ahead of me. Mum and Dad are away, builders and decorators are in, many appointments, a funeral, a meeting, work.. I am going to be knackered by the end of this week. Then I have the weekend to 'chill out' lol. Yea right.

Went to see Nan in Crediton today as the boys were out there shooting in a competition. Had tuna salad for lunch which was nice :) Nice to see her too. Going down to cornwall on Tuesday night to go to the funeral on Wednesday. So I have got to pack tomorrow because I am going to be so busy on Tuesday it is unbelievable.

Jase went home this afternoon, so am missing him so much. Not gonna see him till Friday now :(

Am just lying on the sofa (my bed) watching tv....am going to sleep soon though.

Please keep donating.. I have come to a standstill on fundraising at the moment, need some help!! xx

Did pretty much nothing today :)

Just sat and chilled with Jase which was nice. Did go up to Tescos though and I had a mini panic attack which was a bit scary, and seeing as I am not on the meds any more, I dont know what I had one.

Me, Ben and Jase went to see Iron Man 2 at the cinema tonight - just got back. It was awesome :) Not as good as the original one, but still worth a rewatch I think. Want to go and see Robin Hood at the cinema too soon, that would be cool.

Going to see Nanny tomorrow and also nipping in to see everyone shooting at Kyrton.

Went over my points a bit today with some naughties, but I had 11 saved points from this week, so should be OK.

Am knackered now, so off to bed with my gorgeous,sexi, other half.

Night all

That relaxing day I had planned...

.. did not happen. Lol. I woke up and then rushed Nan and Grandad to the doctors for their appointments. Came back and then had a cup of tea, then went to the chemists to drop in the prescriptions, pick up milk, got to poundland in town, go to Lidl, go and pick up the prescriptions, and then 2 hours after i left, I finally returned home! Only to set to and do the dinner, after grabbing lunch which was last nights leftovers lol. Then Jase arrived, and we went to the post office and then booked my hair appointment at ID salon for next saturday. Then we came back and i sorted out my diary for the next week.

Did some more bits and pieces and had a cuddle with Jase, and then ate dinner. Went and took the bottles to the bottle bank and dropped the results around to Colin. Then I came back and topped up my washer fluid and checked my oil (exciting I know).

I am very tired now, so gonna crawl into bed with Jase.

Night night all xxx

Day Three at work..

..and I was making trophies and medals this morning :) was good fun. Worked all day, was quite busy today to be honest, and then got home and prepared dinner. Made Quorn cottage pie... was really nice :) and then I had Weight Watchers Lemon Cheesecake after which was nice.

Chilled out on the sofa and watched tv all night, and then facebooked and MSN'ed. Really nothing to write about today. Am going to Uncle Brian's funeral on Wednesday next week, so I am working Tues, Thurs, Fri next week.

Am gonna snuggle up and watch NCIS now, really missing Jase tonight... :(

FIRST DAY AT WORK...

:) heya all, had my first day at work today, worked 10-3, and was on my feet the whole time. Was pretty knackered by the end of the day. Sorted out some of the filing, and sorted out all of the designs for the transfers. So much of that, it took a couple hours just to do one buckets worth! Oh well, it needed doing, and it is now in alphabetical order, all tidy in a lever arch file.Hope to sort out the rest of the filing cabinets tommorrow. Started the embriodary one this afternoon, but didnt get very far before I had to leave.

I then got home and caught up on Doctor Who and Superskinny, which is good. Then I went to weight watchers where I found out I had lost 2lbs this week! Yay! This means I only have 0.5lbs to lose, and then I will be back at the weight I was before I went into hospital. Bring it on :D

Added up my total from the carboot - £31.60!! which is fab. This brings my total to £249.11, which is basically half way to my target, and that is not including pledges made by people for when I finish!

Am knackered, so I am off to sleep now.
Night night all, thankyou very much for all the donations - please keep donating!!

Car Boot Sale :)

Had the exmouth car boot sale this morning so got up at 6o'clock and got down there about 7am. got a pitch and set up, and it was icy cold. the wind was so cold and i ended up wrapping up so much I looked scary and a bit like a ninja. Lol. It was very slow buisness as there were over 160 sellers. Reckon that the club raised over £2000 today, which is a fab contriubtion towards the indoor centre!

I think I raised about £26 for Clic which is fab... not as good as last time, but definately worth going! The next one is on the next bank holiday weekend, which is only at the end of the month, so hopefully will be able to do that one and raise lots and lots of money!

Not much to say for the rest of the day as when I got home at one I then crawled into bed and slept until 7pm :P

Woke up and ate some dinner - meat free burgers, peas and chips, and then 3 squares of chocolate. Am now sat on MSN, and watching QI XL.

Start work in Exmouth tomorrow, so will let you know how that goes! Will try and add up the money I raised tomorrow to let you know the total so far!

Thankyou for all your donations - hope that you can persuade some family/friends to donate too!

Lots of hugs,


Sami xxx

p.s. Love you Jase ;)

Grand Day is here...

.. and it went well! Apart from the fact that I have a sore throat from talking so much and I wasnt as organised as I had hoped. Everyone enjoyed themselves I think though, so that was a bonus.

Woke up this morning and have pretty much been non stop all day, so when I collasped in the chair at home at nealy 8 oclock I decided that I could treat myself to chinese. But I had beef cooked with fresh tomatoes, which when I looked on the weight watchers website wasnt actually that bad in points, and I had enough points to spare for that today which is good.

I want to thank everyone who donated today - it really means a lot to me and to the charity. I have raised £217.51 out of my £500 target so far, and that is the money collected, not including the money I have pledged from other people too.

Getting up early in the morning as we have the next Exmouth Archers car boot sale - where I am doing a stall for Clic again, so hopefully will get rid of some more rubbish and raise some more cash for the charity to add to the pot :)

So as I am up about 6.00am in the morning I am going to bid you all good night, and I will write again tommorrow to let you know how I get on.

Thankyou once more, and please keep donating.
