Oh IME, how scary!  I'm so glad you are okay.  How sweet of your coworkers to hang around and come and check up on you!

IA. I weighed myself at the gym an it says that I'm up 6lbs :o  >:( since my last dietitans apt but not quite sure how that is though. ???  :( I haven't been eating alot of junk for one Dh would seriously be chewing me out if I did cause I asked him to help keep me on track he wouldn't do it otherwise an he hasn't really said all that much to me about it. I think its cause I hadn't been to the gym in 2 weeks 1. cause I hurt myself at the gym & 2. Aunt Flow was in town. ::)  :P  I know its just a number but it is still very annoying though.

UP. My trainer said to me that I look the smallest she has ever seen me so that helped me out. ;)  :) I told her I just weighed myself an was up 6lbs she said you sure you don't look like you have put any weight on anywhere. also all the clothes that we bought while in the US last Nov they used to be a little snug now fit me like they did when I first bought them as well. ;)  :)

UP: Had a lovely evening with cheesebiscuit and princesslemons, and got an invite to cheesebiscuit's wedding (woo!).

IA: Totally forgot about the cookies I had in my bag to share with CB and PL. :(

IA: Went the wrong way on the northern line on the way home.

UP: Realized after only one stop, so didn't lose too much time.

Oops. ;D Yesterday I accidentally got off the train 1 stop early on my way to work. I was completely spaced out and not paying attention, but I was convinced it was my stop!  :-X

D'oh. On my way to a job interview I got off at King's Cross TWICE in order to switch branches of the northern line. Somehow I'd completely forgotten Euston existed, and King's Cross is such a big station, the northern line HAD to stop there!

EP (Expected Pleasure):  Had a fab day with Mrs. and Mr. R. with waaaaaaaaaaay too much food and lovely lovely chocolate cake. 

IA:  The train ride back we had to stand half-way because the Leeds Rugby was on and people were heading home, and then when we finally did get seats these drunken 50 year olds who clearly thought they were 17 still got on.  The screamed, sang, made monkey noises and just were generally pitas.  Finally, we got off the train after being stuck outside York with these idiots for 10 minutes waiting for a track to clear.  So, with our heads riging from constant noises, we got on the bus, which had to be diverted as another bus, same route ours was on, was surrounded by police vans with something serious going on.   Needless to say, not the best trip back to York.

IA: Three doesn't do PAYG plans for the iPhone 4.

UP: I (somehow) qualified for a 12 month contract with them, so it's the same price but I get 3x the minutes. And, in theory, more evidence on my credit report that I'm a good person. :)

UP: Had a lovely day out with this boy that I've been "quasi-dating" (we've cautiously expressed interest in it, but have yet to do anything non-platonic).

IA: Still have made no progress towards more-than-quasi dating. ;)

Aww - I'm glad you guys enjoyed it!  I still felt stuffed this morn & told DH I think I was far too full (and a bit drunk) yesterday to fully appreciate the cake - looking at it this morn, I was thinking - wow, did I really make that?  :)  (I'll have DH upload his photos & email them to you.)

Who left all these empty bottles here?!  :P

Sorry you had such a crap journey back - incentive for me to get the house sorted out & the guest bedroom cleared.  I worried about C & that super heavy backpack.  Hope you have a restful day today.  :-*

UP: My sore throat is improving and I'm hopefully on the mend.

IA: Still have a bad cough which means I now have a stonking headache.

UP: Managed to make it through the night without coughing, so I wasn't relegated to the couch until 6am when it all kicked off again.

Nah, it was okay really.  It's just drunks making lots of noise and being dumb on trains.  These ones were just especially awful because we were sitting right behind them.
