Good news!!!!

I'm not sure how to start this post. 

 It's been so full on with placement at the moment and I've got one more essay due for Uni. I only have 9 weeks left until I'm fully qualified. I started to apply for jobs a few weeks ago and got called for an interview in the hospital that I currently work in but unfortunately I didn't get it.

 On Saturday just passed, I went down to Manchester for an interview. I wasn't sure how the interview had gone, it was so intense. I became really aware during the interview that I was speaking very quickly in my Scottish accent and I started to concentrate on slowing down my speech. I came out of it convinced that I had done ok but not well enough to actually get the job. But all the interviews are good practice. They said they would let me know by Friday so I just put it out of my mind.

 However, I got a call yesterday from them......................and I GOT THE JOB!!!!! It's full time and permanent. I can't believe it, it hasn't sunk in yet. It's still subject to references but my references shouldn't be an issue. We (as in Matt & I) have some bits and pieces to sort out before we can really get the ball rolling. 

 I'm so excited for my job and a new life but at the same time I'm nervous about making a big move. There are a few things that need to be sorted out but these things will work out, I'm sure they will. 

 On the fitness aspect, I'm still not allowed to go to Commando training, I'm not even allowed to do gentle gym work yet. The physio has told me that I won't be allowed back to Commando training this year :-( She doesn't think there is enough time to heal and unfortunately I have to agree with her. When I'm on the wards, I'm on my feet for 12 and a half hours and I feel the pain in my hip, that's only walking. I weighed myself last night and I haven't put on a pound since I stopped going. I'm going to miss the girls from CPT! I can't do the run on 4th November either but I know there are a few of the girls who are doing it and going for drinks in Edinburgh afterwards. They'll all do brilliantly and have a cracking time in the pub!! 

 So it's all changing. I never thought this would be the way everything turned out. I'm so excited!!!! Now let's get back to this final Uni essay.......

    Sweetie i know full well how nervous you are about this big move and new life... But one thing i learned was that it must have come at this time for a reason! It'll be hard and if you want it you will work bloody hard for it( which is nothing for you because you are a fighter)but it'll be worth it in the long run.... Get this final essay in and reap the rewards because you deserve them!!

Devastated!!

When I wrote my last blog, I knew that I had some huge news although I didn't think I would be telling our news this early or that this is how it would end. I'm writing about this because I promised this blog would be honest and the last few weeks have had a huge impact on me as an individual and Matt & I as a couple. I discovered at the end of June that I was pregnant. I was so excited and could not believe it. With my PCOS I had given up any hope of falling pregnant naturally. I was over the moon. Unfortunately at 5 weeks I started to bleed. A week later, I had a scan but they couldn't tell me whether the pregnancy was viable anymore so I've had to wait another week. Today it was confirmed that I have lost the baby. The last 2 weeks have been some of the worst I've ever had. I've only been able to fall asleep by imagining that we were told the baby was still growing. But when I wake up it's like a jolt back to reality when I realise that that's...

Willpower

I've never considered myself one of these lucky people who have a load of willpower. In fact I would say I'm exactly the opposite but I've set myself a wee challenge to test what little willpower I have. In my handbag are 3 chocolate sweets that I got off my granny ages ago. They've just sat in the bottom of my bag and I had totally forgotten about them. During a wee craving for sugar this week, I found them and really felt like I needed them. BUT I didn't have them. So they've become sort of like a reminder that I don't need any crappy food. I watched One Born Every Minute this week and there was a woman on it who suffered from the same thing I do, PCOS. She made a good point as well. PCOS is affected by weight and to have a baby she was told that she had to lose it. She would starting weighing up junk food with a baby. Now I know that Matt and I aren't at the baby making phase yet but ultimately if I want to have a family I need to get rid of my ex...
