Saturday already - it seems like the weeks are flying by. I am tying to be good on my Slimming World eating plan. I have lost 2lbs this week so I can't complain.
The weather is warm and bright today - not full sunshine but its nice.
I should have known that Friday was going to be a tricky day as I hadn't even left the house for work when my son informed me that the door had come off the kitchen unit - it wasn't just unscrewed it was actually pulled out of the wood - I can't even call the manufacturers as the company went bust last year! The kitchen was only put in about a year ago. It was a tough day at work too, very stressful and I was the only admin for the afternoon which was a total pain as both the consultants I work for were in the office and had full clinics. This meant I was busy enough without the added pressure of the other secretary having to go work in another building! I was so pleased that the manager let me leave a little early. At least I got the shopping done and was home at a reasonable hour. When I got home I rang my mum as I always do and got bad news - someone very close to me has been ill for a long time and it seems that the end is very close now. In a way I am glad that the pain and suffering will be over soon but to know that they won't be in my life anymore makes me very sad. I will have to take leave from work to go home to England for the funeral because that is a person I need to pay my respects to - at least we have said our goodbyes and I will always know my last words were I love you.
My phone never turned up. I tried the lost property office and I knew in my heart that my phone wouldn't be there - I was right. My replacement phone arrived to the office on Wednesday - I was working late but hubby phoned me to say that the sim card had arrived to the house so I knew I would be back in business on Thursday. My biggest worry was that I couldn't replace certain contacts on my phone as I had bumped into them by accident 8 years after I left my old hometown - but I had a brainwave - I downloaded my phonebill and noticed I had sent a mass text - I knew I would have most of my friends on the list so I text everyone to say I had lost my phone and contacts so could you text me to say who you are etc. Julia was the contact I was most concerned about and she was one of the first to contact me - so although there are still a few people missing I have most of my friends back onto my contact list again - yay! My new phone is from the insurance and it is a Samsung Tocco - I don't really like touch phones but I am getting used to it - it will do until my upgrade is due in a few months - I will get the new Nokia E72 then............. can't wait!
I had a lovely lie in this morning then messed around on the pc until we had brunch. I went outside to the shed to get wood glue to see if I could fix the cupboard door. I found the glue, came back inside and a huge tin of white emulsion paint fell onto the ground outside! Great - took ages to get that sorted out but eventually used the pressure washer to get it off - so it is mostly gone now. At least the door is fixed.
I actually daren't touch anything else this weekend incase it breaks!
I got some new music today - I am listening to it now and I think it is brilliant. Lifehouse - Smoke and Mirrors I have been wanting it for ages and finally I got it today. There are a few bands I am totally addicted to at the moment and are all that I play - Adelitas Way, Lifehouse, One Less Reason, Shinedown, Saving Abel and Staind to mention just a few. I got the micro SD card for my phone today and loaded all my favourite stuff onto it - my ipod is full so adding the new stuff to my phone so I have a choice what to listen to on a morning going to work! I have to say I am impressed with the sound from my phone!
I am hoping to make a couple of cards this weekend. I feel I haven't done anything for ages - it will probably be tomorrow coz right now I am off to go and clean the bathroom............ oh joy
