Ouch!!! Andy - Are you bored?
 
Grooaaannnn!

New page.
 
Not sure if this is the right place but ... at work for celebrations, well dones, awards etc we have cakes supplied to our team meetings. Well, I was asked to see all went well as the PA is on holiday this week so I phoned the canteen yesterday just to check it had all been ordered (I knew it had but I had a plan). Then I asked if there was any fruit ordered as I knew there were at least 2 diabetics in the department who shouldn't eat the cakes but often did if there was nothing else.

I got fruit kebabs delivered for us!!! Just 2 - 1 each for the awkward squad but I was heartened by the comments from other team members along the lines of "good to see you being catered for".

Would be even better if they'd said "Oh! I want one of those!"?

Andy 🙂
 
We had a buffet at work last week and had fruit kebabs. They felt really special. it was just strawberries either end with grapes and fresh pineapple in the middle. They were such a treat! Must make some at home!
 
They have been doing fruit kebabs here too and they are gorgeous. At first non many people were taking them so I had loads to myself but then I slipped up and told some of the girls how good they were and they all disappeared!!

Oh Andy, someone did say they would go and get a fruit kebab but I told them it was for the diabetics! the other guy did not want his so she got it instead.
 
Well i know the weight is coming off as i was able to buy a jumper in next for the first time in years. I was skipping round the shop!!!🙂
 
My neighbour across the road came over to me when I was unpacking the car to say how good I looked and that she sees me stomping up the hill, without any problems now :D.
 
Both nice NSV's for the two of you. Pleased for you both.
 
Had my measurements done again yesterday and lost another 7cm!! Its not all about the scales!
 
I now have to place two safety pins in the waistband of my trousers to stop them falling down.
 
Nice one Lucy and Anita! 🙂

I'd like to report a minor, but crucial, improvement too.

I have been able to unlock the backwards tilt on my office chair.

Before, if it was unlocked, I used to almost fly off the chair backwards when I sat down. Now, it just gently rocks back and I can relax when seated if I want to.

Bliss!! :D

Andy
 
Now thats a good one Andy!

My next NSV happened yesterday but is slightly embarassing. whilst doing the weekly shop round tesco my lovely levi jeans and belt decided to slip down to my knees as i reached to get toilet roles from top shelf..... Luckly I had decent pants on and onlly a few people in the isle! I must say the first thought in my head was, wow how much have i lost🙂 where as those near may have thought OMG😱
