Busy, busy times

It's been such a busy few weeks for us as a couple. 

I started my new job and have been there for 4 weeks now. I'm glad to be home working :-) That said I'm missing my girls from Manchester. I'm going down in August to see them though and I'm crossing my fingers that they can get time off so that I can spend sometime with them even if its just a coffee or dinner after work. They are an amazing group of girls and I'm so excited to catch up with them. Lots to catch up on......

 I posted last week about graduating. I had a brilliant day surrounded by my family and then later on by my friends. I can't believe that's uni all over and done with. 

 My weight loss has gone by the way side at the moment. I've just been too busy to really give it much thought and the same goes for the gym. I'm not being bad, I just haven't tracked as well as I should be. 

I was listening to the radio the other day and the presenter was saying that his new wife had come up with a list of dates that they were going to have over the first year of their marriage. So I decided that Matt and I would do the same thing. I've come up with a calendar of 'dates' that we're going to have up until the end of the year. They range from dinner & the cinema to crazy golf & the theatre. I'm really looking forward to it. The way my new job organise the off duty, I can plan everything in advance. It's amazing how much that helps my work/life balance.

 I'll hopefully have something more interesting to post about in the next few weeks :-)

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...
