In yesterdays mail I got a leaflet from the tasting club about a his n hers chocolate box for Valentines Day.
James was looking at the leaflet and said the poor guy wont even get a look in if the chocolate box gets ordered...
...you know what I have to agree.
And no I wont be ordering a box, as I am still working my way through my Christmas box ;o)

bullcr@p & demonstrations
This morning I heard one of my colleagues giving a load of bullcr@p to his assistant about how he doesnt like people who are all 2 faced...
...I had to really keep my mouth shut as he is all 2 faced himself! But I did smile inside ;o)
At lunchtime I was all geared up to have a seven vegetable rice bowl from Itsu, but on leaving the office I heard some sort of demonstration going on, as I didnt want to go anywhere near the demonstration I got thai chicken noodle instead from Sainsburys.

the trains are doing my head in
Ever since the clocks went back at the end of October the trains havent ran to time (its like the trains drivers are scared of the dark or something!).
Back on the 10th December the timetables changed...
Pre 10th December I used to get a nice air conditioned train that happened to leave from a platform where the next train I could catch would leave from the adjoining platform. So if I couldnt get a seat on my normal train then I could walk across to the other train and I would have a seat.
Post 10th December the train is no longer air conditioned (this is ok in the Winter but will be a whole different story in the Summer) and leaves from a single platform, and whilst the next train I can catch leaves from the next platform you have to walk back to the barriers to get to the other platform (after a hard day at work the last thing you want to do is have to faff about walking between platforms). And it now leaves two minutes earlier but also stops at Stratford station and effectively (if running on time) gets to Chelmsford at the same time.
Since we have had the snow (over a month ago now Im hastened to add) our trains have been running with fewer carriages as the "severe weather" has caused train faults! Why didnt they spend their millions of pounds when upgrading the trains to ones that will work in the cold weather? Come on nxea the weather is hardly the tropics here!
And now onto why I am in a strop...
...last night I got to the train and I spotted a couple of empty seat but stupidly didnt get one, so I was walking along the platform and the carriages were more and more crowded, so I spot an empty seat push the entry button on the door and it doesnt work, so I walk along to the next door get on the train and start walking along the carriage and someone has taken the seat, by now its too late to get off of the train (as the driver has shut the doors) so I end up standing. I didnt even have a comfy place to stand either. Then the train gets to Stratford and more people pile on!
In todays Metro there was a "no sh1t" article about how bloggers reveal their personalities through their words ;o) Really? I wonder what the experts would think of mine ;o)

not as bad as I thought...
I decided to bite the bullet this morning and see how much I weighed...
...I had a figure in my head (bearing in mind that I had my holiday and Christmas) of being one stone heavier (14 pounds) then I was in October, but I had only put on 5 pounds, so am well chuffed ;o).
As they say "the proof of the pudding is in the eating" (dont you just love all of these food related puns) so I will see how I am next week and as to whether I have to reassess the situation as Fagin would say ;o).
LOL you can tell its January as the diet shows are starting! I love seeing people transforming themselves ;o)

Happy Epiphany
Its Epiphany again...
LOL when In was a kid my Mum would always keep the Christmas decorations up until Epiphany ;o) For a couple of years after we came back to England (from Italy) my Mum would even save back one of our Christmas presents so that we would have an Epiphany present ;o)

Sunday I woke up feeling weird
On Sunday I woke up and my tummy felt really weird - like I wanted to either be sick or have a poop.
I was a bit slow moving (I dont exactly move at lightening speed anyway) and James asked me if I was ok to which I said no and said how I felt.
LOL he must have been concerned because he offered to do the shopping on his own (and he absolutely HATES food shopping)!
Anyhow after doing the shopping we went into town (I was still feeling quite queasy) and we went into Starbucks and I forced myself to have a croissant with my venti skinny latte (needless to say the croissant was a bad idea).
I stayed in bed for the rest of Sunday afternoon and Monday morning (and consequently couldnt sleep last night!
Project Flickr started this week and the theme for week 1 is motion & movement - these are the photos that I have taken...

Gosh its 2011
Happy New Year ;o)
May 2011 be better than 2010 for all of us...
LOL I am having a last blow out this weekend then will be attempting to stick to 1500 calories per day, so I can go back to being slim and sylph like ;o)
We all know that my 8 week challenge last year went all pear shaped (Kelly Im referring to the third meaning ;o)).
I dont tend to make New Years Resolutions, so at least I cant go moaning at the beginning of March that it all went wrong...
