Leg news!

I have some knitting news! Last night I completed the left leg of my bear. I actually completed it and made an effort. Tonight I will tackle the right leg!! hee hee! Can't wait to see the finished product when it is all done. Feeling very weird today, got a headache and feel really really really bored here. There is just nothing for me to do. I suppose that I could offer to help someone else but I don't want to end up doing a horrible job that no body else wants to do.

Right, that's it. Got to pull myself together and get on with things. Must get on. Must cheer up.

I am smiling now...

Not really...

Still bored...

Right that's it. Over and out.

Time to get started!

Yes, it is finally time to make an effort and actually GO to the gym that I joined over three weeks ago. Starting today. At 1pm. I am going to have an induction and they will take me around and show me everything in the gym and I will do a bit of a workout and then I will have no excuses not to return and continue working out until I am slim and toned for my honeymoon next year...

Yes I said next year! We have pulled the wedding forward to 2004 instead of 2005!! I am so excited. Can't wait to start looking for dresses and veils and shoes and hoisery and all that stuff!

Knitting update:
Progressing with leg. Not much happening at the moment. Sewn head and body together but due to being off ill last week with the flu I have not felt much like to doing anything - even knitting. However, I will be getting back into it tonight and finishing that bear before another week is gone... I hope.

I am hoping to knit Paul a jumper one day, but that might have to come when I am working part time as I will have more time to mess around with it at home. As it is by the time I get home on a good day it is 7pm and then there is dinner to be had and TV to be watched and I haven't yet mastered the whole thing of knitting without looking at what you are doing (usually when I try to do this I slip a stitch which is very annoying!) but I am hoping that one day I will be more of a whiz at it.

Other news? Oh yes, I am going to Cornwall at the weekend to see Paul's mum. It is Paul's birthday on Saturday and I have already given him his present - a surround sound system for the TV - VERY LOUD! I am going to get him a card and another small gift to have on his actual birthday.
CAN'T BELIEVE WERE GETTING MARRIED!!!!!

Well I better get on with some actual work, or else I might be sacked, which would be very bad especially with a wedding to pay for and all that sort of thing.

See you! xxx

Another Week!

God, what is it lately? The weeks just seem to merge into one, not even sure where the last one went to, are you? I am just sitting here again, back in work after a weekend that went way to quickly and ended up being another struggle not to think about coming back to work this morning. But you know that Monday will be there before you can even blink and you will be back at your desk processing someone else's thoughts and typing never ending garbage just to earn a crust.

On the positive side I went shopping with Esther on Saturday and we managed to get her wedding dress, shoes and head dress! She looked lovely in her dress, just like a little fairy! Can't wait to see her on the day and see Jason's face when he see's her!!! It will be lovely.

On Sunday I managed to get a wicked present for Paul for his birthday (15 November) but I have given it to him now anyway as he looked so pleased and I thought I would get him another small thing to open on the actual day. It was a DVD and cinema surround sound package. And let me tell you, I think the neighbours will be around to complain pretty soon... It's SO LOUD!!!!! Paul loves it though, and I think it's pretty cool too.

So we are going to visit Paul's mum on the 15 November down in Cornwall, looking forward to that as we can wrap up warm and be all cosy on the way down there and then we usually go and have fish and chips down by the harbour with his mum which is nice. Minnie (our dog) may have to be left behind with Corinne and Steve (Paul's stepmom and dad) who have a little dog named Jessica and they will take good care of her.

What else? My knitting is coming along slowly. I have stuffed the head and body and knitted the ears, I am starting on the legs tonight. Want that bear finished by Christmas and then I can start on some other stuff for the new baby when it arrives (Esther's).

God, I hate it here, just feel like screaming everytime someone walks past my desk. I thought I was getting better this year, but no, it's all starting again. The numb feeling inside my head. The constant headaches and the feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. I have no energy and just feel like curling up with minnie and hiding under the duvet.

I imagine that my face permanently looks like a dead fish, all forlorn and miserable and I really don't want to be like this. But I don't know how to stop? Perhaps I should go shopping and see whether retail therapy is the cure?!

Must cheer up now and get on with things. Got loads of work to be doing (well actually that's a lie) but anyway, must get on with trying to look like I've got loads of work to do...
