Liz Going On

I am very disappointed with Indiana Jones.  The music was good. Harrison Ford is a dish, but there was too much CGI and a unbelievable plot.  Ok, so I know the others weren’t excatly stuff that happens every day, but they had a vague link with archeology/history. This alien crap was just, quite frankly, crap.

I’ve now lost 97 pounds.  That is an awful lot of weight. I guess soon I need to work out when (and how) sto stop.

I should be revising, but instead I’m doing nice things. Oops.  I’ll do a couple of hours after my impending nap.

I’ve not had any post for three days. This is a little odd. I’ve had a decreased rate of junk through my letter box too. I don’t think my letter box is broken, but maybe that’s why.  To compensate I’ve posted 5 items of post in the past 6 hours. And I’m going to write another three letters this afternoon, inbetween sleeping and revision.  I should also clean the bathroom as it is a dusty minging place at the moment. You probably didn’t need to know that.

I love my Mom. I wish I saw her more often.

I have to go to work tomorrow. I’ve really enjoyed my three days off (especially as I’ve so expertly avoided any revision).

End of mental dump. 

I was inspired to write this post while lying in the on call room about 4am on bank holiday monday. I’m not sure why, but I was suddenly overcome with the desire to be able to write neatly. I don’t want girlie handwriting with big curly bits, I know that much, but there the thoughts stopped.  I must have fallen asleep.

Today I went shopping. It was lots of fun. I met Cass, it felt naughty as it was a weekday, but really nice too. And I bought some jeans.  I went into next and tried on many pairs of jeans. I mostly picked up size 14s, but I picked up one size 16 as a just in case. The 14s mostly fitted but weren’t quite right (or were 60 quid), so I tried on the last pair. They fitted perfectly. I was a little crestfallen as I don’t want to be a size 16, but decided to buy them anyway. So I checked the label and actually the jeans I loved were a size 12! Its a miracle. They’re probably a big size 12, but I don’t care! I’m so happy.

Cinema tonight. Indiana Jones! Woooo.  

Alton Towers Sunday. BIGGER WOOOO!!!

Life is good at the moment. Long may it continue. 

Well, last weekend was the hen weekend I’d been planning/plotting for weeks. It was mucho fun and rather tiring too.  The activities started on Friday night when Kate and I went to Tesco and had a nice evening with gin.  Then on the saturday we went to ‘go ape’ in Buxton with Paula and Lisa, with Marie and Gwen watching and cheering us on.

Go Ape was amazing! So much fun and quite tiring too.  I had a little moment when I thought I was going to die and my legs turned to jelly about 20 feel up in the trees. I was heard to utter the phrase "I don’t want to be a Gladiator anymore" which caused much amusement to those around me. I was on the verge of being petrified. But I loved my harness and I sat down into it, which meant my jelly legs could rest, and I propelled myself along with my arms until I got onto the next tree platform.

Once we’d Aped we went to Kate’s house for chips, pizza, wine and games. And then we headed to the Birdcage for an evening of dancing.

Well, those are the edited highlights of the hen-do which I’m allowed to share on a public forum!

Sunday, there was a lot of sleeping, quite a lot of feeling sick, some arguing and some curry eating. The curry eating was particularly good and involved M&S cass, joe, Ian, Steph, Emily, Andy and Andrew.  

Now its Tuesday. 

I’m very good at breaking things. This isn’t idea. I don’t mean physical things, but life things.   I wish I didn’t break things quite so much, but I seem to.  Rubbish.

I’ve not been at work since tuesday morning. Its been really weird having a few days off for no real reason. I’ve had some stuff to do, but I’ve not been superbusy, which has just resulted in a lot of procrastination on my part.  The work has to be finished by 5pm today, and oh look its 3pm now and I’m blogging. Oh well. The work I’ve got left to do should take a hour I think.

I didn’t go into town on Wednesday. Getting to Swinton to retake the exam thing was bad enough. And this time I managed to get honours which means I can instruct on the course. Which will be hard work (and will probably cost money) but should be lots of fun. After the exam passing I went to the Trafford centre. Compared to town it was wonderful and quiet. I’d not been there for about 2 or 3 years. I probably won’t go there for another two or three years now either!

I have pink fluff and glitter over all of my house (talking of which, I’ve just made my house cheaper if anyone wants to buy it. Go on, you know you want to). I am very looking forward to the hen do. Woooo.

Right, time to get a grip. Procrastination over. I shall finish this work… 

I love the sunshine. Especially as I can enjoy it as I’m not at work for a few days.  I’ve got loads to do, revision, portfolio stuff, teaching, but its much nicer to do it outside in the sunshine.

I’m heading into town later as I have some things to buy. I’ll probably regret this later as there are 100000 football fans in town, but I figured it’d be interesting to see and I should try and get my shopping done.

Choir tonight. I’ve not sung for ages. Well since the audition that I didn’t get.  I guess I didn’t really have enough time to take anything else on, so I’m not that bothered about not getting in, but it does hurt a little.

I managed to shut my ring finger on my left hand in the door last night at work.  It really hurts. The nail has gone blue and the whole fingertip is bruised.  I got sympathy and drugs and an ice pack which helped. But its still rather sore and I can’t use it or touch it.  Hopefully it won’t fall off.

I went shopping this morning and got ‘things’ for Kate’s hen do, which is next weekend. I’m looking forward to it a lot. It will be much fun.

IT HURTS! 

I had very exciting post today. But you’ll have to wait.

I had an audition today. I wasn’t going to tell anyone, as I didn’t for my Halle one and things went well, but Mum told people so I did too.  It could have gone better. I don’t think doing it after a 13 hour on call was the brightest idea, but hey-ho.  Fingers crossed.

I may be able to take the exam again to see if I do well enough. I can’t really explain it, but I’ve done it before and I want to do it better, but am not sure if I’m allowed to.  Cryptic I know.

I have a lie in tomorrow. Hurrah! I have nights too, booo. But the lie in is first and that’s great. And then tomorrow afternoon I get to play with a nice baby and catch up with a nice friend. Hurrah. I also have lots of logbook and portfolio to get done, but I’m feeling productive.

What else? My mind has wondered and I’ve done other stuff for about 15 mins. I think I should go to bed. But I want to know if I’ve got in to what I auditioned for tonight.

Oh yes, I can’t go without telling you about the post. Today I recieved buttons. Two shoe bags made of pretty material and a flip flop letter. Yes, that’s a letter written on a flip flop. Its the best post in the entire world!

I’m tired.

Work wasn’t particularly busy, but I did have ‘bank holiday insomnia’.  This is a variation of ’sunday night insomnia’.  Its generally suffered when you’ve had a fab weekend and don’t want it to end, so you can’t get to sleep. Last nights bout was particularly bad. I was awake till 3am. Pants!

But I have a lot of things to do before I’m allowed to sleep. Better get to them! 

So its the Early May Bank holiday. That means that Mad March and April are over. They were lots of fun, but it meant that I’ve not seen Manchester friends for ages, until this weekend. Highlights of the months of busyness include

• Charlotte and Dan flatwarming
• Visiting Alsion and Adam in Edinburgh
• ATLS, lots of fun. Shame I didn’t make the mcq grade to be an instructor.
• Easter and birthday fun
• Cornwall and much singing fun
• Mum’s Birthday spa day and party
• Cotswolds with A and his parents
• Eating real food (but getting fat).

So, plans for the next few months?

I’m back on the spacefood.  I’ve not really been doing it strictly since Christmas and have faffed round a BMI of 31 -33 and a dress size 14-16.  I’m determined to get my BMI into the healthy zone.  I know that lots of people think BMI is crap and I’m dense, but I want to get there to see what its like.   So I shall.  Spacefood isn’t as nice as real food, but at least when I’m doing it properly I’m not hungry.

I’m moving to intensive care at work. This hopefully means less hours overall but more antisocial hours.  So good and bad. I have to start revising for the big megaexams which loom in October, so hopefully less work will help that.

There are lots of weddings coming up, all which are very exciting, especially the first one when I’m bridesmaid. Woooo. Fingers crossed that I get all weekends I need to have off work.

My house is still for sale, but nobody wants it at the moment. Grump. I might drop the price, but I don’t know. Andrew’s house is almost for sale, but nobody wants that yet either.

So I’ve titled this post less hectic. Thinking about things I’m not sure that that’s true!
