HOME!!!

I had an amazing week this week. I actually felt that I was 'getting' the job and then to top it all off Matt came down to Manchester this weekend. 

It was a fantastic weekend. We went into Manchester and had a look round the shops, then went for dinner and to the cinema to see our first 3D film. I wasn't that impressed with the 3D bit but maybe that was just the film. I expected things to be flying out of the screen lol.

Then on the Sunday we went to the Trafford Centre, had lunch and then went to the pub to watch the football. It was like a month of dates rolled into one weekend!! I worked yesterday morning but last night, we drove home. So I'm home for a couple of days. When we got back the village that we stay in the snow is terrible! My best friend was supposed to be coming through today but the streets aren't safe enough. I'm also meant to be meeting friends in Edinburgh tonight, it should be ok to get through later on. It's just started snowing again but it's really light. 

Tomorrow I've got the whole day set aside to spend it with my mum, auntie, sister and most importantly my granny. Not sure what the plan is but I'm just looking forward to spending time with them. When I get back to Manchester on Wednesday night, I'm working for the next 6 days and then have another couple of days off in the middle of next week. I probably won't be home those two days though. I'm looking forward to getting onto long days so I can get a few days off together.

On the health kick, this weekend has been a wash out. I've done nothing but eat crap! I get paid on Friday so the plan is to take myself to the gym after my work and get back on it. I'm still missing doing any sort of work out. The gym that I'm going to join do classes as well so I'm looking forward to getting back to that as well. I'm going to start posting about my weekly activity as well.

So the plan for the next wee while is to continue settling into my new job, get back to the gym, plan more trips home and get a couple of weekends sorted out for the girls to come down.

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 starte d 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,...

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...
