Well done on winning today Trace - I lost my $4 on the sweep, but that is the norm for me   The rest of the week before Nik comes home will fly by now.

Lovely to see you here Rose.  Hopefully you will get a routine worked out where you can fit at least one visit a day on to keep us up to speed   Please fix it so that it is not today's hot when we are in Sydney - that is expiring weather

I'm up for dressing up on Saturday night in Sydney Kim.

Time for bed and book for me.  Night night ladies

Thanks for the blinkie Mally

TIme for wilma and push ups. SOn1 stayed over at his bday friend's house last night so just son2 to organise for school this morning.

I have semi-decided that I am going to have a bday party next month to 'celebrate' my 40th. Okay, so I can get drunk and cry about it..... not really, Trace, kind of. Hehe. I'll think about it and talk with mr kim. Holy crap.... 40!!!! FFS.

Have a great.... um, not Monday, is it?...... Wednesday. Hell class tonight ... yay.

Sounds like we had a few winners yesterday in the Cup - well done if you won and a big raspberry to the silly horse you picked if you didn't!!

Worked out that Edie didn't have gastro yesterday but vomit brought on by shocking asthma and coughing!! Keeping her home from kindy again today in the hope she can go tomorrow so I can go to pilates!! Dropping her at Mum's this morning as I have to take Carys back to the Children's Hospital for her follow up appt with the gastro doc re her lazy bowel!! Noice!! Not much has changed there with her - no more blood etc - but very irregualr and unless she has massive amounts of movicol each day it is still a struggle - poor little thing!! Hoping to catch up with my sister who is working at the Royal Brisbane next door for a coffee - but don't like my chances - she gets worked way too hard!

I'm up for frocking up on the Sat night in Sydney - especially after not being able to frock up yesterday!! Now what to wear - may have to bring a couple of options LOL!!!

Kim - well done on all the pushups you stupid woman!!! Can't wait to see the effect they have on your upper arms - ouch!!!

Mrs M - you must be on the countdown to finishing up now! Did you sort out the pay situation??

Julie - hope those boys are well and you're getting some rest after a busy weekend!

Rose - glad to here Gaz's new job has started well but a big booooo to him for making you do more around the house LOL!!!!!

Trace - nice Sat night planned with your boy by the sounds of it - to get reaccquainted LMAO!!!!!

Ok, better get a wriggle on - need to be at hospital in Brisbane by 10am and they apparently have delays on the expressway up there!!

Back later!

Steph x

Glad that most people, except poor Steph, had a good Melbourne Cup day. I was shopping when it was on so missed the whole thing and didn't even have a bet . It is so good to be able to shop after my 6 month hiatus!

Rose - TPG suck. Period. If they weren't so damn cheap I would be with someone else asap. Does Gazza have any new day tips for me for next week? It will only be my 3rd new day in the last 15 years

I've just dropped zack down at the vets for his clippering....poor little thing it's such a stressful day for him, and me! They did his checkup and said he's 100% tip top shape, which I knew. I also hadn't had him vaccinated for 2 years, as they reckon Australian vets over vaccinate, so he also had a shot. Kim - did Wilma {tkntp} ever come home? I hope she's o.k....

Monday night date with D was fun - only thing is we talked about relationships and he's just looking for "some fun", "nothing too serious" as he's 4 months out of a 4 year relationship....Damn it's so bloody hard to find someone in Sydney who wants to be my boyfriend! I've given it such a good go over the last 8 weeks and am almost exhausted by all the dating. Good thing I start a new job next week as it will divert my attention

I've got lunch with my old CIO today - will be good to see her. I'll trake her some flowers as she gave me a great reference and helped me get my new job.

The weather here was awful yesterday....Kim you are weird if you are jealous of 38 degree days! I put the air-con at 7pm because it was gettign hotter and hotter.

I had a chat to my friend who I was hosting a cocktail for on the Sat night you are all here. I said to him it was stressing me out as I wanted to spend Fri night with you guys, plus some of Sat if I can. Plus it was my first week back at work. Plus he wasn't flying in from Qld until late afternoon so couldn't be much help to me. Anyway....long story short he's going to have it in a bar instead of at my place. Phew - means I can focus on all of you!

Have a good day everyone!

Yay for non-gastro, busy days, wanting to wear maxi dresses, doing tax returns (ahem), healthy cats (No, wilma (tkntp) never returned), shopping and all the other stuff from today.

Oh, noticed a 'man vein' in my right forearm whilst doing push ups. It was very offputting and upsetting. Hope it goes away quick smart. Off to veg on the couch with a ballerina tea. Damn the caterer at work who makes such yummy treats!! 'Nuff said.

As for me, I have started back on Tf today. I have not been really happy since I went off tony and stupidly put on half of what I had lost. So depressing. I just want to cry when I think about it. But have no one to blame but me. So just got to look forwards again and try to get down to 100 by Chrismas day. I have just spent the last 15 minutes looking through the good ol before/during/after forum. Feeling inspired by all the stories and photos.

Had a beautiful 4 days of work. Had some lovely friends over for dinner on saturday night. Then went to a lovely gathering at a girlfriends on cupday. Miss R. won $8 in the sweep! I think she has now got a gambling habit due to the fact that she asked if we could run more sweeps on the later races!

Back at work today, getting busier every day. Cupday is the last 'event' befor xmas, which means thinga are about to get hectic for me, business wise, and work hours wise. But thats a good thing as I will be away from home much more, which means I eat much better...

Hope you are all having a lovely week and I will drop in sometime soon xoxoxo

my total weight loss on T.F so far...

MINI GOAL #1; to lose my 1st 10 kg
MINI GOAL #2; to be 100 kgs
MINI GOAL #3; to fit perfectly into my new size 16 dress

Why aren't my arms sore? That is so scary!!!! Man vein gone though so all good there.

No caterer food for me today. Have to look delightful (as much as possible) for Sydney weekend. Straight and narrow for me until then.

Mr kim said to me "you can't be on tf for the rest of your life". Is that true??

Have a great Thursday. Mine will be spent at church, in the chapel and at 2 different cemeteries. What fun!

sim - I know exactly how you feel - I've put on everything that I'd lost - plus more - and I need desperately to get back to 100 - want to do this before xmas! we can do it!!!

trace - bloody NAB - grrr!!! hope they sort it out! hope you have a stree free day at work !

steph - how was your hospital appointment ? hope all went well xxxx

lexy - how's zack after his ordeal -? poor little guy!!

how's eveyone else - ?

congrats to nikki and Jake - 3 years - woohoo!!! xxx

well - I'm going to have a fabby day food and water wise - we're in for another hot day here - and storms later!!! will have to get out and fertilise my lawns - !- fun - not!!

have a great day everyone xxxx
