I know down to the pound how much weight I have lost since my heaviest in September 2003 but it was just a number in my head. Today it became something very visible. I was in tesco and decided to try on a pair of jeans in the largest size I ever wore. As it turned out I couldn't find that size but found the next size down. I went through a range of ( Read more... )

The company I work for have an office in Jersey city and it was decided a few weeks ago that I would go there for 2 weeks training and meetings and just to talk face to face with people I speak to on the phone almost every day. I left a wet Dublin at 8.30 am on Saturday on the longest plane journey I've ever taken and arrive in Newark at 11:30 to ( Read more... )

I haven't driven in nearly 4 years after an incident with a stupid old wagon and the car getting damaged. But i did swap and he made me drive around for half an hour

Earth Hour starts in 20 minutes and I don't think I'll be particpating. Currently I am sitting alone on the 3rd floor of my building in what is a very large office space from end to end. I have half the lights in the office on and, as I have my back to the door, I keep looking over my shoulder any time I hear a strange noise. So turning off even ( Read more... )

Been a while since I posted but I guess I don't have that much to say. The last few weeks have flown by. I have loved seeing it get just that little bit brighter each evening. Really looking forward to the clocks going forward on the 29th. At that stage the sun will be setting around 8 ( Read more... )

Because seriously, something swallowed my weekend. Friday disappered, on Saturday I thought Thursday was the previous day. Suddenly it was Sunday evening and I was standing on a stage with a light in my hand and now it's Monday again
