I am a Munchkin. Yep, I am. I am to be a Munchkin in the Eye Department Annual Christmas spoof play (we do one every year at the Christmas Do). Of course the CHristmas Do this year is in February cos someone forgot to book it in December. The Play is The Wizard of Oz Pital Management (*groan*), actually the scripts quite funny. I have one line to remember. I am one of the Consultants, each character is one of the Dr's/Consultants - played of course by members of the department - for fun. Apparently I will have to wear green dungarees and stripey coloured socks...Hmmmmm.
I have managed to get back into my dress (Yippee) so am going to wear that I have some gorgeous gold pearls ...Here they are (I scanned them) aren't they lovely. I bought them for about £16 from Oxfam (2nd hand charity shop) about 11 years ago and have never worn them. They are 2 strand and quite chunky and have a really nice fastener too. I bought them in this box and I have no idea where they came from.

Almost 8am. Neil and J have gone, R is getting ready for school.
Weight - 10 st 6 lbs (146 lbs)
Stayed the same.
Still want to lose about 26 lbs!
Don't like my hair at the moment, can't stand the colour or the style, it annoys me greatly. Arghghghghghghhghg

It's snowing out there today!
Kids will love it, though it isn't sticking a lot as the ground was wet from the rain earlier.

10.20pm
Ok ok ok I dyed it darker! I was soooooooooo bored with it.Dunno how long it will be darker for, till I get fed up with it again I guess! Now if only it were this easy to lose the weight!!!!!! Ohhhhh but hey guess what, I did an hour and 15 minutes on the treadmill today - how good is that. I want to be fitter, healthier. I want some energy. I walked to school to get R (the snow had gone by then) though it was cold. We walked up to the village and then went to see Neils mum and dad then we walked home PHEW!
I have a lovely potato/cauliflower soup doing in the slow cooker for tomorrow, ok only me will eat it, well R might if I don't tell he what's in it!
Time for bed. Work tomorrow.

Ok day in work, last 15 - 20 minutes was best! Ah well.
Managed to do 20 minutes on treadmill in evening, as did Neil. Did 2 and a half hours dancing last night and requested one of the faster ones we do, I love the tune and it has lots of twirls in it, well a few anyway! Am trying to be less obsessed with what I am eating..........is it working? Dunno, omly just decided to do it.

No plans for today as such.Friday was a very sad day in work (end of day) as sadly one of the really nice nurses (she was so young too) passed away.. Everyone is in shock.

Neil and I started watching Lost In Austen last night, I loved it.

The film opens in present day London. Amanda Price is obsessed with Pride and Prejudice and finds her current boyfriend desperately lacking in comparison to Mr. Darcy. One evening, she hears a noise in her bathroom and discovers that Elizabeth Bennet has tumbled out of a crawl space and into her world. Of course they agree to switch lifestyles for a bit. Elizabeth stays behind in Amanda’s apartment while Amanda ventures into Elizabeth’s home.

You can imagine the stir Amanda’s prescence creates and she soon has the household aflutter with her odd behaviors. Amanda’s antics unfortunately begin to unravel the plot of the book in disasterous ways and she must struggle to right the story with the aid of an unlikely ally, Lieutenant Wickham. Surprised? I told you there were crazy twists.

Lost In Austen -

Sunday 25th January

Neil and J have been in the studio all day recording their CD. R and I stayed home, we watched a film together, lazy day or what. Not in the mood for anything else to be honest. Might aim to go on the treadmill later for as long as I can. Am in a 'yeah whatever' mood.

Bought a blonde hair lightner for my hair, dunno when I'll do it or if I'll do it. I do get so fed up with my hair, I think it coincides with me, well, just generally being fed up, I think. I tend to mess around with it in the hope that it will make me feel better - it doesn't always work.Whatever.
