Thank youuu, beautiful supportive people. So glad I'm back here with all of you.
I went for a walk and then came home, put on the slow-cooker and made myself celery/cucumber sticks with some home-made Spanish omelette. 300 calories and I'm sooooo full! I had a diet coke with some lime squeezed into it and it's hit the drink craving as well! Yay for good choices.
I was supposed to work at the Hospital today but they cancelled it. Kinda glad really--Everyone there is so mean! I'm an agency worker so I think they just hate me on principle. Now I have a tidy house, dinner on the go, a full tummy and my PJ's on! Time to relaaaaax

8lbs down?
YAY Han!!
YAY Han!!
Some good choices made there sweets. I'm going to buy some sparkling mineral water & maybe some diet soft drinks just to have something different, when I do feel like a wine. At the moment I just don't feel like it, which is good (& unusual). Loving your sense of humour Hana! xoCate

Food for yesterday came in at 1733 calories so a little high. Will see what the scales are saying tomorrow. I have work til 22:30 and then I'm supposed to be going to the pub to meet some friends afterwards so may be a late night but wont have time to drink much before last orders as I won't be getting there til 11pm so won't be all bad
Have a good day everyone! Happy Halloween xo

Really don't want to do this shift at the hospital today. I adore my full time job so it never feels like work but this part time job really feels like work! I paid off £100 off my credit card this morning though from extra cash I earnt at the hospital last week. I'm making about £400 a month extra and it's really nice to be able to make a dent in some debt but it was damn hard leaving my warm bed this morning to get the bus! And now I'm clearing up poop and blood for 7 hours. Cry. 
hopefully I'll meet some cool patients. Horrible anxiety wish they were nicer to agency staff

Yay for knocking off some more debt - good stuff!
It's difficult in a job that doesn't treat you nicely, but at least those lucky patients have you helping to care for them in their moment of weakness/injury.
Glad you enjoyed Halloween - not a big holiday here (although they try to make it to be). But still a good excuse to party and catch up with mates

Good on ya for dancing the alcohol calories away! Also a nice hit on the debt, keep up the good work!

Working hard when all you get to "buy" is less debt is tough. It will make it so much nicer when it's gone. Poop and blood cleanup is way up there on the list of jobs that should pay more. Whatever you make it should pay more. Having a full time job that doesn't feel like work is outstanding. The downside is it makes a job that is literally crappy a lot tougher to go to.
Sounds like a fun Halloween. What time is last orders there. Here it's called last call and is generally 2AM. I haven't been at a bar for last call in more than 10 years*.
*I'm old.

Hiiii guys--thanks for the support. The shift was okay actually.. Yesterday all I did was sleep in til noon, go to the vets and then met a friend for drinks so a rather chilled out day I had 1600 calories on the nose yesterday and walked 11,000 steps so pretty pleased.
Will go back to food logging I think as it's too easy to slip up if I'm not writing it down. 214 again this morning--Hopefully I'll see some movement tomorrow!
Q, Last orders varies here--We do "lock ins" where they don't let anyone else in but everyone already in the bar can drink until 5/6am but most places stop serving around 2am

Food logging is a PITA, but it does work. The good news is that with Aps you can put on your phone, it's so much easier than the days of doing it on paper.
Last call depends on the state's laws. In Massachusetts, it's 1 or 2 AM, in NYC it's something like 4 AM. I think it's 2 in CT. But I'm also old, and as such, my last call is around 10, 10:30 if we get to go out.

So painfully tired. Dinner & bed--babysitting tomorrow morning and then doing a late shift afterwards. Need to have a bit of a rant about a friend as well but will save it for tomorrow as I can barely keep my eyes open. Calories are at 1450, steps at 8,000.

Hullo Sunflower, it's meeeeeeeee 
UT-OH, bingo wins, should have worn a long armed top so that nobody could see my arm jiggle lol.
HANNAH!!!! You should have gone home and got changed and un-bridesmaided yourself!!!! You shouldn't have carried on. I cannot believe that your friend, and the photographer, and you for that matter thought it was an option for you to stand there displaying your granny knickers NOOOOOOO!!! The embarrassment!!!!!!
My sister who also lives in Portsmouth, had turquoise hair mainly, but ever changing colours, is also a nurse and they made her dye her hair a normal colour. It sucks.
I cannot believe how many hours you are working, omg, I am surprised you haven't dropped down dead with exhaustion. Do you think that working so much takes your mind off food? Or do you think your more likely to want to eat rocket-fuel carbilicious food to get you through the days and nights?
Aww your cats are so cute, do you take them out on their harnesses often? Do they get on well with your rats? I love my pudds. They are both nutters.
I'm sneaking in all shyly. I know this is a bit weird as I didn't drink AT ALL when I was last on here, but since last November, except for a couple of breaks I have been sinking back a half bottle of vodka very easily every night. With full fat coke. I have deffo got a problem too As you know, my son is severely autistic and tbh I feel like I need vodka to cope with it, I can see why it could be the same for you working with kiddies with such severe problems. Tbh, I'm a just lot happier and more relaxed when drunk. I don't get hangovers for some odd reason. So, yup, drink is the answer for me. BUT NOT FOR MY DIET! I drank an entire bottle of vodka-ish on halloween. Then I had a bottle and a half of wine on Sunday. But nothing yesterday or today... My way around the problem has been getting up at like 3 in the morning... I am going to sleep so early that I am not having time for my evening drinking. But I know that getting up this early cannot continue forever.
Drink is the enemy of slinkiness.

Oh Ruth, my lovely lady! I KNOW. I should have run away, Julia Roberts style, and abandoned the wedding. But alas I have no balls. Must grow a set immediately. Does your sister work at Queen Alexandra? That's where I'm at! Wooo for boring hair. And my rat babies died, Ruth! Utter heartbreak which I patched up very quickly with a house-move (out of the basement flat & into a 3 bed house so I can pretend to live in luxury whilst we save for a house of our own!) and two new cat-babies who are now MY WHOLE LIFE. Seriously. Am obsessed. If I could take them everywhere with me I would. I'm certainly an animal person. I now want another new kitten which I will name Meatball and he will be FANTASTIC.
Sorry about the drinking, sweets. I remembered that your little boy is autistic--Saw on Facebook age ago that he'd destroyed a project you'd been working on. Must be so difficult to deal with 24/7--At least I get to come home for peaceful sleep. We'll all be here for you, chicky. The early night idea for drinking is actually amazing! I went to bed at like 9pm last night so only had time to shove two glasses down my neck. I never think I have a problem until I decide not to drink for a night and then I get the angries.
Thanks Q & Cate--Hope you had good nights xo

Am still feeling FULL OF RAGEEEE this morning. I'm going to babysit for my friend now so how she is with me will dictate level of ranting later. And then off to a late shift where it will be easy to make good choices because they don't allow booze in a children's home and everyone I work with is TINY so I eat little bird portions to fit in.
