The doctors visit was encourging- but I'm glad I went.
Basically i have very high blood pressure (130 over 100). The nurse said my top figure was ok, but the resting figure the 100 is way way too high. So I have a month on tablets called Propranlol- and more importantly no alcohol for a month and to try and take things a bit easier and start exercising.
So it least it's getting sorted. I had one last blast out last night- a small headache this morning but I can live with it!
Wish me luck
Today I am painting the lounge. I've had enough of creams and magnolia (boring!!!) and have plumped for a colour called Woodland Glade from Focus. Its a lovely classic green and will look lovely with the green sofa. Plus because Focus is closing in Plymouth I got the paint at a lovely cheap price, although I did feel a tad guilty about the people losing their jobs right on Christmas.
And then when I've finished- the Christmas Decs can go up.
1st day of not smoking for us as well.
So far, so ...........well ordinary. Done the ironing, watched Something for the Weekend, eaten a tin of mackeral, just going to have a cup of Bovril.
Oh and an overwheling desire to kill other half. Mind u, he's in the corner gently rocking from shock (he was a much heavier smoker compared to me). Actually feel sorry for him.
Going for a walk to take my mind off it later on today.
520pm -a lovely long walk with the dogs on the River Plym throwing stick
I've lost count but still no ciggies!
Going ok- hard day at work today- with damn staff playing up, but had a meeting with my boss and took my Nicorette Inhalator into the meeting and pretended to flick fag ash into my cup of hot tea
Oh and my training for my 10k didn't happen tonight. Instead I rediscovered my long lost love. Finally after 7 years (and having had them in the USA) I discoverd Asda are selling Oreo biscuits. Trust me in the biscuit world they are god like :lol: . On my t
Well this is it, my last blog of 2007. Its been an awful year in parts and even with the civil partnership in July, 2007 is not a year I'll look back on with fondness.
But it's New years eve, a nice bottle of Merlot (8.99 a bottle- gulp I'm more a bottle of house red at 2.99) and a bottle of shampoo for midnight. Yup, we can't even face a night out. So home, Graham Norton, Harry Hill, Nick Knowles ( ) and my husband ( )
2008 - it's going to be great. I get that feeling!!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR
I am now a fully fledged Parking Attendant again.
I love it. Not working until Wed now. A lovely long weekend!!!!
(PS if you live in Plymouth, please be nice to me- I'm a good guy. Honest)
I was very naughty last night.
It envolved a BBQ- a bottle of vodka, 4 very close friends and a camcorder.
I'm not the one in hiding today.
The neighbours are a bit surprised at certain activities coming from our garden last night.
Happy Easter all! Firstly- I'll start by saying, that I have slipped off the bandwagon regarding smoking. But I have plans to stop from tomorrow. Last week at work was frankly awful. If you look at my blog entries from last February, the same situation occured again, which led to my boss and my bosses boss coming down on my side as my work team decided to play silly beggers , resulting in a very embarrasing moment for a trainer from the British Parking Association. So I got very stressed and ang
Today I am 33. This leads on to several points
I can no longer say I am in my early 30's.
I can no longer drink like I did 10 yrs ago (as my headache proves today)
I have new lava lamp from boyfriend
I have new Deal or No Deal DVD from boyfriend
I cannot beat Noel Edmonds at said game
My boyfriend left all the price tags on both presents and birthday card
I wish I had not drunk so much beer and whiskey last night.
I wish I was 21 again.
In line with Katie's blog and events in Exeter yesterday- Plymouth had 2 serious incidents today although no bombings luckily. Basically I was day off today, so decided to go into town for a pint (or 3) at lunchtime. Being a responsible person we took the bus into town- only to get caught in the 1st alert in North Hill (around the University and library). Thought nothing of it- and walked the back way to the pub on Bretonside. However when we left to catch the bus on Royal Parade- all hell had b
I have had a nasty bug for a couple of weeks but this week it's got worse and worse. So I'm off work- feeling guilty but hey.
and I still only get 6 letter words on Countdown. :blush:
OK so day splits into 2
Normal daytime, got the ceiling decs up (via Jeremy Kyle and Trisha). Helped Darren's mother (my mother in law) sorted a loft of winter clothing out and charity shop stuff out.
And then had chinese take away. Till 1 hr ago.
And Kieron came over. Our mate Dave over the road has been burgled. Badly. So a lovely day has ended with a mate in pain. In his words he "feels like he's been raped". That not words. His. Poor Dave has lost TV, DVD, Camera, Pixil Camera, his
Today is day 10 without a ciggie.
Now moving into the 2nd phase of the relationship when you've split with something.
I HATE EVERYTHING :lol: I will not give up on this mind.
The only thing that's keep me going all day is the thought of the final of "Laddette to Lady". :lol: Well I need a laugh.
Knee better- will try a short run tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
Hows you Louby? Thanks for messages by the way!!!!
Just come back off a little break in our new caravan. Been staying in Okehampton- lovely little site.
Back to work tomorrow. Not looking forward to it - we had Job Evaluation results last Friday. I was lucky, my team not (they lost £4000 each). God knows what I'm going back to.
Good news - still not smoking.
New job perhaps????????
Today is our last full day in Glossop.
Left work yesterday, and had a serious panic atack in the middle of my presentation- so much so, my boss thought i was having a heart attack. :o
It was a combination of no food,stress and too much beer the night before, but boy has it scared me. Think I'll see a doctor as soon as a get home to Plymouth.
Wish us luck, as we move some 300 miles south, back home. :lol: :lol:
I was told last week on top of stress from work, that I need an op on my knee.
My cartilidge is gone in my left knee. Now this set off several problems for me.
The last time I had an op in 2000, I spent 10 days in ICU on life support from a mistake from a surgeon who cut through an artery when my appendix had to come out. So I had 2 op's in 5 hours.
Next problem- this has left me scared stiff of hospitals. Big style.
So, muggings here, was think until today, take 3 Ibropuben each night for
Been an eventful week.
The oven caught fire last Sunday :unsure: the thing was old and knackered but the fire was quite spectacular. Anyway, firemen came around and put the oven out, the roast was ruined.
So it's been insurance forms all week. We lost the kitchen lino (melted), ceilling (burnt), worktops (nothing wrong with them but we're claiming as they are old ).
its been microwave meals and takeaways all week. But the new oven is due next week, and hopefully we'll have a kitchen in th
We all feel nervous when we have a job interview. The thing is being on a panel of people doing the interviewing isn't much fun either. You have 10 set questions for a council job in Parking. Most are fairly standard- but you get the same responses time after time- hence you end up concentrating looking for the unique things the person says. So you come out having done the interviews feeling like you've gone 10 rounds with a boxer. And remember, the interviewee only goes through it once. Yesterd
Well it's been an odd week, snow Monday, ice Tuesday, wet since.
Home life is good, with my new PC coming tomorrow morning. Thanks to AOL messing up, i have a new router (£80) for free working, meaning top speed broadband. EXCELLENT
Work, well thats a different matter. For reasons I can't go into, i've spent 3 hours with the police today. Thankfully nothing wrong with my Parking Lads and Ladies, more helping for a neighbouring force in an enquiry. I've been able to talk to Daz about it (than
Well I hope you all had a FANTASTIC Christmas. We've got home from sunny Plymouth about an hour ago. Lots of partying, fun, frolics, and I've got a black eye (but then that's what happens when some of my friends get rather silly on alcohol! Play hitting got slightly out of hand )
Actually it was all rather nice, catching up on all the gossip and seeing who's seeing who now. Went to church Xmas Eve, had mince pies with my Aunt and Uncle on Boxing Day, just the usual, normal NICE Christmas.
Oh
