I had a quietish weekend. Friday night i went to Lee's surprise party which was nice. I did go out after i had my tea, and couldn't resist a few sandwiches, but i think it was ok.

Saturday, i did have my plans, but i had to wait until 2:30 to go to the optician. I pottered about and cooked a lentil curry. I did go an weigh myself, and between last Saturdays weigh-in and Saturday i had lost 4 pounds. This is good.

Or it would have been until Sunday, when after having a decent breakfast i splurged and had a yorkshire pudding for lnch and popcorn and chocolate for tea. But i figure that one bad is going to make me put on 4 pounds. (Or 3.5 as when i did my SW weigh in on wEds i was half a pound less).

So i am going to try and eat well now.

Sunday i went to Joolz' flat because she was kitten sitting! Such a cute tiny black and white kitten, abuot 6 weeks old and still wanting the warmth and comfort of his mum (or her mum the vet apparently wasn't sure).

I am really beginning to not enjoy what i am doing, and seriously thinking about a change. Trouble is with a house, change is an expense i can't afford.

Things i would like to do are get TEFL certified - but this requires 4 weeks off work. 4 weeks in one go. I wouldn't mind forfeiting my holiday if i coudl do it over a year, but i can't. The other option is to do a cheapy weekend course, but i doubt whether it would be of any use to me.

Damn mortgage.

I wish i could win 25k, then use that as a lump sum and remortage over the same period but a lesser sum.

There are some part-time options, but nothing local. The closest is in Oxford, i guess it's something to think about. It would also mean putting my classics studies on hold. Maybe that's not so bad.

I feel absolutely starving today. Also tired and low in energy.
