Happy days

 

Finally I've lost that 1lb to give me my first stone loss. It's been a struggle for a few weeks but I'm there. Now of course I'm onto my next stone. I'm under no illusion that it'll be hard work but I'm ready! 

As you can see from the picture they let me play with the sharp knives at work. Anyone who knows me knows that this is no surprise at all. I'm always trying to chop off my finger tips. I was very excited to get a blue plaster. It's my first one ever! Not sure how the kiddies will feel finding blood in their ham sandwiches though?! 

Busy week. Now working full days at the restaurant (albeit still only 3 per week). My body is rebelling. At the end of my shifts it screams and moans at me 'what on earth are you doing Gilly?' It's just in shock and I'm sure it'll get used to it. My feet throb. My back aches. My legs hurt. But oh my goodness how nice is that hot bath before I get my PJs on and have a glass of wine. Bliss. Generally I recover on my days off although yesterday I spring (autumn) cleaned my kitchen, walked Libby and cut the grass. I'm scared if I stop I'll never start again lol. 

Talking of Libby she's doing well still. I had a bit of a feel of her tumour and it's now much bigger than a tennis ball. I'd say in May it was the size of a golf ball so it's grown a lot but obviously in the right direction. She's my little darling and is utterly spoilt. I think it's going to her head and she's becoming a bit of a diva! Very demanding. When she wants to go in the garden to play with her ball or when she wants a treat, she tells us straight. She's a madam but I love her more chips.

PS I'm starting my other new job on Monday. Very excited.
