Leg news!
I have some knitting news! Last night I completed the left leg of my bear. I actually completed it and made an effort. Tonight I will tackle the right leg!! hee hee! Can't wait to see the finished product when it is all done. Feeling very weird today, got a headache and feel really really really bored here. There is just nothing for me to do. I suppose that I could offer to help someone else but I don't want to end up doing a horrible job that no body else wants to do.
Right, that's it. Got to pull myself together and get on with things. Must get on. Must cheer up.
I am smiling now...
Not really...
Still bored...
Right that's it. Over and out.

Time to get started!
Yes, it is finally time to make an effort and actually GO to the gym that I joined over three weeks ago. Starting today. At 1pm. I am going to have an induction and they will take me around and show me everything in the gym and I will do a bit of a workout and then I will have no excuses not to return and continue working out until I am slim and toned for my honeymoon next year...
Yes I said next year! We have pulled the wedding forward to 2004 instead of 2005!! I am so excited. Can't wait to start looking for dresses and veils and shoes and hoisery and all that stuff!
Knitting update:
Progressing with leg. Not much happening at the moment. Sewn head and body together but due to being off ill last week with the flu I have not felt much like to doing anything - even knitting. However, I will be getting back into it tonight and finishing that bear before another week is gone... I hope.
I am hoping to knit Paul a jumper one day, but that might have to come when I am working part time as I will have more time to mess around with it at home. As it is by the time I get home on a good day it is 7pm and then there is dinner to be had and TV to be watched and I haven't yet mastered the whole thing of knitting without looking at what you are doing (usually when I try to do this I slip a stitch which is very annoying!) but I am hoping that one day I will be more of a whiz at it.
Other news? Oh yes, I am going to Cornwall at the weekend to see Paul's mum. It is Paul's birthday on Saturday and I have already given him his present - a surround sound system for the TV - VERY LOUD! I am going to get him a card and another small gift to have on his actual birthday.
CAN'T BELIEVE WERE GETTING MARRIED!!!!!
Well I better get on with some actual work, or else I might be sacked, which would be very bad especially with a wedding to pay for and all that sort of thing.
See you! xxx

Another Week!
God, what is it lately? The weeks just seem to merge into one, not even sure where the last one went to, are you? I am just sitting here again, back in work after a weekend that went way to quickly and ended up being another struggle not to think about coming back to work this morning. But you know that Monday will be there before you can even blink and you will be back at your desk processing someone else's thoughts and typing never ending garbage just to earn a crust.
On the positive side I went shopping with Esther on Saturday and we managed to get her wedding dress, shoes and head dress! She looked lovely in her dress, just like a little fairy! Can't wait to see her on the day and see Jason's face when he see's her!!! It will be lovely.
On Sunday I managed to get a wicked present for Paul for his birthday (15 November) but I have given it to him now anyway as he looked so pleased and I thought I would get him another small thing to open on the actual day. It was a DVD and cinema surround sound package. And let me tell you, I think the neighbours will be around to complain pretty soon... It's SO LOUD!!!!! Paul loves it though, and I think it's pretty cool too.
So we are going to visit Paul's mum on the 15 November down in Cornwall, looking forward to that as we can wrap up warm and be all cosy on the way down there and then we usually go and have fish and chips down by the harbour with his mum which is nice. Minnie (our dog) may have to be left behind with Corinne and Steve (Paul's stepmom and dad) who have a little dog named Jessica and they will take good care of her.
What else? My knitting is coming along slowly. I have stuffed the head and body and knitted the ears, I am starting on the legs tonight. Want that bear finished by Christmas and then I can start on some other stuff for the new baby when it arrives (Esther's).
God, I hate it here, just feel like screaming everytime someone walks past my desk. I thought I was getting better this year, but no, it's all starting again. The numb feeling inside my head. The constant headaches and the feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. I have no energy and just feel like curling up with minnie and hiding under the duvet.
I imagine that my face permanently looks like a dead fish, all forlorn and miserable and I really don't want to be like this. But I don't know how to stop? Perhaps I should go shopping and see whether retail therapy is the cure?!
Must cheer up now and get on with things. Got loads of work to be doing (well actually that's a lie) but anyway, must get on with trying to look like I've got loads of work to do...

Feeling Peckish?
I am! My attempt to stick to the weight watchers diet didn't exactly fail, but even so, I still didn't loose any weight. Anyway now I am feeling extremely hungry, desperate to taste some delicious food that I deprived myself from eating whilst trying to stick to my points. I feel like eating chuncky chocolate donuts, pastries, cup cakes and even fruit cake (which I don't normally like!). As you can tell the situation is getting desperate. Do I give in altogether and fail yet another attempt to loose some weight? Or do I hang on in there hoping that this week I will have lost a couple of miserable pounds? Not sure what to do! I just really need a doughnut...
Anyway to update on my knitting - I have finished the head. Last night I ploughed away at it and finally came to the end. Have to buy some stuffing at some point to stuff it, but won't have the time today or this weekend as I am helping Esther (sister-in-law-to-be) to find a wedding dress. My brother is marrying her on the 6 December this year and I can't wait.
So next I will knit the legs and will update you on that very soon...

Oh the weather outside is frightfull...
Yes! I am really in the christmassy mood today. Did lots of knitting last night and although it was hard to get into at first I soon got the hang of it again. Made the teddy's body and started on his head! Can't wait to see what it looks like in the end! Paul (my fiance) was very impressed with my knitting skills!!
So all in all the embarkment on my knitting project has been very successful!
4.10 pm
God, I'm sooooo tired. Can't stop yawning. My book (yes I'm writing a book) is coming along nicely lately though. Takes a lot of thinking though and sometimes I just don't feel as if I've got the energy to do it, but I plod on through it making a story in my mind that I never knew existed. I am up to 64,000 words now and I can't quite believe it. How did little old me write that many words?? Sometimes I worry though, that it's not leading anywhere, that I'll never be able to tie up all the loose ends before the book explodes with waffle. But I've got to keep going. I've come so far.

To Knit or Not to Knit
Hi, this is my first blog. Interesting huh?
Just went out and bought some knitting needles and wool. I am going to make some knitted bears. Yes this might sound weird but I just all of a sudden feel the need to be a knitting kind of person. It's really not my fault though, I think it's because everyone around me right now seems to be having babies and I just really want to make all these cute little knitted things.
I used to knit all the time when I was a kid. Loved it. My nan taught me, she taught me how to pearl one, knit one and I even made some fabulous dolls. Don't know why I ever gave it up really. Well tonight I will be starting again for sure. I have the soft wool in my bag and some brand new 4mm & 3mm knitting needles too!
Very excited now.
My brother is getting married in December to his fiance Esther and they are expecting a baby in May 2004, hence the excitement I am in at the moment. I can see knitted booties and knitted hats and knitted cardi's springing up all over the place. Or at least I hope they will be. At least before the baby is too big to wear them!
I also bought some red and green felt today in order to make some christmas stockings. They are going to be colourful and cheerful and will be filled with candy and chocolate and gifts!
Can't wait for Christmas this year. I may even knit a stocking too. I will update you on how my knitting progress is going tomorrow. I only hope I can remember how it's done.
Have to go now as I have other stuff to be doing.
Over and out.
