Sunday night, and im actually looking forward to Monday morning lol. Im out and about with the neighbourhood officers tomorrow. All part of the training. Although i think we only have a training schedule because we dont have a phone or computer as yet! Its almost like its still part of the council eh?! Im trying to eat little and often, although admittedly its not working too well yet. I might try the old way of measuring my waist every so often instead. Im a little half hearted about it all at the moment. A recent conversation has had me thinking quite a bit. Should IVF really be allowed, or should we take notice of nature. Premature thinking, i know, but is all this effort a waste of time? Regardless, my BMI says im underweight anyway, so i do need to pile some pounds on! Its debatable as to whether the scales are working properly though, so maybe I am putting weight on and just cant tell :) Ive been putting Snooch on a lot of fattening foods. He has a bowl of milk every day, and hes been eating pasta, cheese, mash, all sorts of fruit veg and nuts. Ive weight him tonight and i think he is a little heavier, but im a bit crap at reading scales! From what I can work out (maths not being my strong point!) he seems to be 1.2.5 so he is putting weight on. Sadly, the fur hasnt returned as yet! but we'll see.
I need to get creative again. Ive seen a beautiful dress in Proposals, which im going to copy for Claire and Jonnys wedding. Ive got a month to do it. Hopefully on Friday, with my spangly new wages, i can get some material.
I think thats all i need to say for now :) I really should sleep soon coz tomorrow will be long day no doubt! Bring on the scum!

Brighter horizons
Finally! I have a job! Wednesday 5th Sep is my start date. Im so excited. Its only temporary, for three months, but that should work out nicely if I get the Auditors role from yesterday. Both Matt and I are interested in doing it. Yes, im sure it will be monotonously boring but the pays good, itll be mostly nights, (since i dont like mornings!) and we can pick and choose the jobs we do. But we'll have to wait and see about that one. This one is working in the call centre of Shoreline housing, so should be pretty good. The important thing is that for the short term Ill have some regular money coming in. Its happened on the right day too. This morning i recieved a letter from the DWP saying they cant give me any money. So I really was just scum, coz even the dole wouldnt pay me! lol. Its made me really angry actually. The reason they say they cant pay me is because i didnt pay enough NI, but i was working part time. Work this out - in a tax year (this year has gone up) you have to earn 50 times 82. So 50 weeks work earning at least £82. So basically, because i was part time, they cant do fuck all. If i had the power, id take them to court and ask for NI contributions back. Do them for fraud or false advertising or summat!
With the weight thing, Becky told me that anorexics are made to eat 6 or so meals a day. So this is something ive also been trying. Its hard getting 3 in never mind 6, but im trying to eat small and regular. My last weigh in was 5st 7lb 0. Im hoping that was wrong! So im going to give it a couple of days. Im not the only one trying to put weight on at the minute. Snooch had to be taken to the vets last night, his mouth was bleeding. Turned out the poor things teeth were overgrown. I feel like ive neglected him, because i should have noticed. Also with his fur loss, I havent noticed his weight loss. So hes on a fattening diet too :) His weight is 0lb 6, at the moment, so we'll keep check of him too.

Losing it
Damn it, its happened again. Intentions start out well, but things get in the way. Eating kinda gets pushed to the back of your mind doesnt it? And if you dont eat for long enough, you dont really feel hungry anymore. This morning started really well. I had a bowl of cereal, then I had 1 and half bacon and egg buns. But the day stole my time, so the only other things I got were an Eskimoo (scrum!) and a handful of popcorn chicken. I feel so disappointed with myself that im not even going to weigh myself. I just know what little ive gained will probably be gone today. We were childminding this evening, I even got that wrong. Can you believe I couldnt even cook them a dinner right? Absolutely gutted. Things like that make me realise why natures given me problems. Quite obviously I cant even look after myself can I? Its all shit. On a slightly brighter note, Matt gave me my very first driving lesson today! Only the very basics, but how good does it feel to drive? I even managed to drive past a pedestrian without causing an accident :)
I know there are certain things that I cant control, but I have to at least try. I have to have faith in myself, if nothing else.
Tomorrow, all being well, Matt will be helping me get some photos of the skirt I made for my facebook site. I also have a few application forms to fill in. So roll on a new day!

Give me back my control!!!
Ive just realised why i get so pissed off with life. Its becase im not controlling it. Even when you have a plan of action, no, actually, especially when you have a plan of action, things seem to happen to ruin it, dont they? It feels as though everyone else is running my life. And its really starting to piss me off!
My weight thing isnt really working yet. I suppose one reason is that it has only been a few days, but also because I swear, my days are shorter than the average persons. On Tuesday, I had an early start because of my eye appointment. I have actually managed to scam another free trial, this time for three weeks, so thats fine by me! You gotta try aint ya? Anywayz, as i knew i wouldnt get lunch for a while, I forcefed myself my cranberry wheats. I dont do breakfast first thing, so actually i just felt sick. I knew i couldnt throw up though, coz that was against the whole point. I met Matt and the kids in town, and as it turns out we went for an early lunch at good old maccy d's. Is it only me that thinks they serve too much in the kids meals?! i feel so stodged after one! The afternoon was pretty tough, at his ex's house. Its a very strange feeling between us now. I have to admit, i was quietly pleased that baby didnt want Matt. Its not easy watching your fella nursing his ex's other child! But i shant go into that :) The evening went great though. Caught up with an old friend, Lucy and her fella Ryan. Such a lovely couple! Ive so badly missed her! We munched on chinese. scrum. Ryan was driving so we couldnt really open a bottle, but i attempted to use our spangly new champagne flute set anyway, only with pepsi. I was the only one that used it really. Everyone else complained as only a mouthful fits in it. Then i just stole Matts glass. It was a bit easier :) I thought with all that, my weight would have piled on, but actually Id gone back to 6st 0lb 8. Neg. On the job side of things, I did get a call from somewhere looking for stocktakers. I go to see them on Monday. So fingers crossed there. Yesterday, was a shit day for eating. Matt and I were kinda busy all day pretty much. We went to meet Nicki at work , very nice little cafe (although dodgy guy who runs it!) then picked up Lee who had a fun day at the dentist! lol. The boys had a a best man speech to prepare. Us girls did try to put some input, but not sure much was listened to! We discussed the kickboxing again. I think the boys may wel be wanting to do it too now. So Nicki is investigating that, ready for when i have pennies! (or at least for when the fella had pennies hehe) I really wanna kick Matts butt! Small but deadly. hopefully! I had a burger King, before we went down the seafront for a bit. A joyous occasion of watching everyone shoot stuff *yawn*. But then it was to Claires for Heroes. How great is that series? So in all, no time to squeeze in food. So grand total was....yup...the same 6st 0lb 8. Todays even worse. two slices of toast and a bowl of macaroni. Ive lost weight. All be it not much but today i weigh 6st 0lb 4. I feel disgusted with it. In fact what i havent mentioned is that Ive applied for a TV show, looking for people who are skinny like me. So maybe something will come of that. Jobwise, today was the day i signed on. Although i have no idea when ill get any money. There were a couple of jobs though. Child support worker, i called for. And i have a couple of numbers for tomorrow.

Nothing ever changes
Sometimes its just not worth bothering with the day! I woke up bright and early (my version of bright and early!). I knew what had to be done today, but it all went wrong from the very beginning. For starters, Ive learnt that fabric conditioner really doesnt make a nice cup of tea. I called Craig, but he couldnt meet me in the morning, so i did my usual domesticatedness. Of course, the washing line collapsed on me. My clothes are doll size so didnt reach the ground anyway, however an item or two of Matts may have given a spider or ant a nice new home :) Matt did come home, but briefly. He only brought one child round, which halved the danger lol. now we watch them like hawks! A beautiful sunny day. So we took the guinea pigs into the pen in the garden. And today of all days, Charlie decided to make a run for it through a whole in the fence! Amusing to watch Matt jump the fence, though! Of course Matt left after a couple of hours, so I had to cancel Lucy, so you can imagine my evening getting less and less sociable. As time passed by, i realised I wasnt going to get to see Craig either as he had to return to Leeds today. I admit i had a brief scribble of my application forms, tried to make a call or two, and wondered why no one was there. Of course, its bank holiday! Totally forgot! So the job thing was all a bit shit today! Feeling like id swallowed a boulder, i went to the only place that makes you feel better - bed :) a couple of hours kip. So this evening, ive completed my form for the support worker role which is the one i want most.
On a brighter note, a huge thanks to Emma whos been a real mate today :) Thanks to her, ive been really thinking about what im eating. Admittedly a little gutted that a half tin of beans is the same amount of calories as a mini aero! So today, ive managed 3 meals for the first time in forever! And ive snacked! Im so proud of myself! A bowl of cranberry wheats for brekkie, half a bowl of pasta for lunch and beans on two slices of toast for tea. Go me! I also made a bit a bruschetta to snack on at around midnight as is my habitual eating time. plus aeros, bananas and tunnocks teacakes (cant beat them). So the grand total of my weight today is *drumroll* 6st 1lb 8. Which I think is fabulous. Now i just need the poledancing lessons to turn the fat to muscle!
So what does tomorrow hold for me? well Matt may possibly be home, for starters :) And Lucy and her fella Ryan are coming to Grimsby to see us, so we have no excuse to cancel now! Ive so missed having her around! Oh and whilst I remember, the opticiams. Cant really scam any more free trial lenses so looks like ill have to pay since my eyesight is shockingly bad!
All that is left for me to do tonight is tuck snooch in. For those of you that know him, i dont think hes too well. He seems happy enough and is running about as usual, but hes so wrinkly and bald bless him! So everyone keep their fingers crossed that hes ok.

Is there an opposite of weightwatchers?
If there isnt, there damn well should be. What a business idea. Think of all those Bulemic and Anorexic chicks there are...interesting. Anyhoo, very proud to say my weight currently stands at a whopping 6st 0lb 8. I dont know what the 8 is....is it ounces? I stuffed up on a chinese, seemed to do the trick!
I knew this would work. I dont even know if anyone will read these posts, but just the thought of it means im trying harder at everything! Havent had chance to do much as yet as I spent a lot of the day trying to make my room into a habitable place now that Matts moved in. Ive even cleared a drawer for him. How good a fiance am I?!
Its now 1.30am. Snooch is back in bed, the two latest family members (ill add photos to facebook soon) Charlie and Percy are tucked in, so its just my own beautiful head to get down now. With Matt coming home, Craig, Lucy and Katie all visiting from afar, tomorrow should be a busy day. Not to mention my job hunting.
I feel really happy at the moment. So glad tonight is my last night alone :)

Ive set this blog up in an effort to push myself to actually get somewhere in life. Im sure im not the only one who usually feels like the world is against them, but Im beginning to lose my sanity. I know I take things too personally, so now im going to get personal back! I need all the help and encouragement I can get, and if I get lazy with something then everyone has permission to slap me silly!
Heres what I need help with!
1) I desperately need a job. This town is ridiculous for work. Weekends are harder I know. I currently have 4 forms to fill in and get sent back. Which I will do tomorrow. Or tonight. That would be even better! I have the opportunity to volunteer for victim support and also the SSAFA. So theseI will also call tomorrow. Might as well do something even if im not getting paid!
2) I need to get on with my studies. Im currently studying for my A level Psychology, at home. But of course with a million and one other things going on, it gets pushed to the back of my mind. This is so important though, because my final goal here is to attain a social care degree. My ultimate career goal is work with homeless people. And if i dont study, I wont get there.
3) I need to get healthy, and get some weight put on. I know Im only tiny, but I desperately need to eat properly and put some weight on. If you want to know why, you'll have to ask me. So each day Im gonna weigh myself, and try to eat more. For example today ive eaten 2 boiled eggs and toast, and 2 mini aero bars. This i will update tonight. Please forcefeed me! lol.
My (money reliant) goals are as follows
1) Get debts paid off. Once im working, this shouldnt take long. This is my priority.
2) Get my driving lessons. Matt (my better half!) may be able to help a little, but i still need to be able to afford proper lessons. I feel so trapped out in this village! I need the freedom!
3) Get our own place. Although we'll only be renting, Matt and I want to find our own little lovenest!
4) Wedding plans! The most expensive affair im sure, but also the most exciting. I cant focus on just the shit things in life, so ill also keep you all posted on our plans here, because as you all should know by now, the wedding will be in Scotland.
Anyway, promise this is the boring part over! Now you see where I want to be, you can help encourage me. I cant get let things get me down. I have to believe I can do things. And all achievements start with the smallest step right?
