Need to find a new job, I have had enough of Tesco. The more you do, the more they expect of you. Looked on the Jobcentre Plus websire tonight but there isn't anything at the moment but will keep trying.

Another day another dollar

Today didn't get off to a good start, I couldn't find my purse this morning. The only place I went yesterday was Halfords. Waited til they opened and rang them to see if I had dropped it there - not such luck. So I rang the bank and stopped my bank cards, will take 3 - 4 working days to get the replacements - but the good news is that the cards haven't been used. When I got home had another look for my purse and found it in my camera bag - God knows what it is doing there. But a least I don't need to reapply for my drivers licence ect

Not my lucky day

Today hasn't been a good day. 1st the guy came out to the tumble drier and it needs a new part, that we take about a week to come then we have to find a day convienient to the engineer and me to come and fit it. The tumble drier packed up the 2nd week in December, engineer came out and fixed it - it last 2 days and packed up again. With the bad weather and Christmas it was today before the engineer came out and now it is going to be at least a week before it is fixed. On a posative note I have insurance so it wont cost me anything.

Then was off to Sarahs, to get the kits to pack on Thursday and the car won't start (the 5th time in as many weeks) called the AA (None of the neighbours were home to give it a jump start) When the AA guys came out he said the battery was faulty - I only bought itjust over a year ago. But couldn't find my reciept, went to Halfords told them the date that I bought the battery and they traced the purchase on the computer, so they will replace it. But none of the local stores have any of the batteries in stock, so hopefully they are getting a delivery on Thursday.

10 000 steps

Today is day 1 of the new regime. I have done a shift swap with Sophie cos it is her Birthday and she wants to go out tonight. So instead of doing a 9 - 5 I am now on a 14.45 - 10.45. I don't fancy walking home at 10.45 tonight. So J and I walked down to Tesco to get the few things I would have picked up after work. One of the things I got is a pedomter, put it on at Tesco before walking home - it is 2600 steps (one way) from Tesco. So on the days I walk to work I will have do half the daily recommend steps just from the journey to and from walk.

Weighted myself this morning, and weighted pretty much what I expected at 22 stone 8 pounds. My 1st goal is to lose 1stone by my birthday, and a further stone by the time I go to Sarahs Cards Retreat at the beginning of March. Will get J to take a photo of me as my "before" photo -will post it later or tommorrow

New Years Resolution for 2011

1) Get this divorce sort, 3 years is too long to be messing about
2) Lose some weight (weight lose goal 5 stone) and get fitter - starting with walking to and from work, around trip of 2 miles which will be 8 miles a week. As they say every little helps. Cut out all the junk that I eat.
3) Find a new job out of retail. A nice 9 -5 Monday to Friday, no weekends or evenings. No worrying about wether I have dome enough overtime. Just knowing that I am working 35 hours a week for x amount.

Day 5 - getting there with steps

A day of mixed emotions, not a good day on the one hand. On the other put in place steps to improve my mental health. Weighed myself again t...
