Hey there! So sorry to hear you're not feeling well!!! It seems like it takes forever to pack and unpack.... ugh! Not a fun job! At least you have new house to look forward too! How long before you guys move in??? My eating has been off too... This time of year is hard w/ everyone. Especially if you're stressed!

Congrats on the outstanding rating from the inspector! That is great!!!

Hope you have a good day!

Tracey~ Please rest for the next couple of days. I know that you have packing to be done, but things have a way of working out. You need to get lots and lots of rest, drink plenty of fluids, and get yourself better so you can enjoy the holidays in your new home. I'm worried about you, sweetie. Please take it easy.

I'll be praying for you.

Tracey,

I hope you are feeling better. The bug that is going around seems to be persistant. You are not the first one that I have heard of having a relapse. You need rest.

Don't worry about the gym. You know that all that packing is exercise. You are strength training everytime you pick up a box. Please remember to lift with your knees.

Take care,
Beth

Tracey, feel better soon! You will get this packing done and be in your new home soon. And I am not surprised you and Gary had a tiff, moving is soooooo stressful! You made up, thats what counts. Just hang in there, it will get done. And the gym will be there when your life settles down, there are only so many hours in the day. Congrats on the outstanding rating at school, its cause you are on board they got that high of a mark I am sure!

 

[traceycooper]

Thankyou SOOOO much everyone
Still off work, my head feels like it is in a vice!! keep sneezing, nose is blocked up but also not stop running!! Had about 3 hours sleep
I'm comfort eating too!!
good news - throat feels a lot better!!

I have done a little packing this morning, just some bathroom toiletries boxed up & MORE clothes bagged up for the charity shop!!!

Not got a date for the move yet but everything seems to be happening quickly - mortgage they said would take 2 weeks to go through - it took a week!
Searches they said 3 weeks - took 4 days
so i'm expecting to exchange contracts on the 5th as agreed & to move either the 7th or 14th (hoping the 7th, the more time before the holidays the better!)

Monday
b/fast - toast & jam
snack - choc chip muffin
lunch - cheese & ham roll, small choc bar, yogurt
dinner - baked potato with cheese & mayo with scampi
Had about 15 cups of decaf earl grey to help my throat & went to bed with a hot chocolate drink with squirty cream on top

At least being ill gives me time to catch up with my wish buddies

Hey there! Sorry you are not feeling well! Seems everyone is a little off. I feel like I've got something coming on... ugh!

Good news on the house and carpet! Things are moving fast!!! I can't wait for some pics!!!

Hope you feel better!

Tracey,

I'm hoping you are feeling a bit better. If you are still congested, I suggest you head to the doctor. With the jaw/teeth pain, it sounds like you may have a sinus infection and need antibiotics.

Great deal on the carpet. I don't suppose they'll do my house too?

Take care of yourself.
Beth

 

[traceycooper]

Just a quickie!!
Went back to work Thursday, sniffed & sneezed my way through the day!!!
The jaw pain & headache has gone & i'm sleeping again
Just cant stop blowing my dose!!!

Food - bad!!!
Weather - FREEZING
House - we've got someone viewing ours on Monday the house is a right mess!!! boxes everywhere!! dining room empty of furniture just full of boxes!!!!

[toystoryduo]

Tracey~

Hope you continue feeling better. Sending some more get well your way.

Also sending some for the house viewing on Monday.

Have a great weekend!

 

[MIdanceMom]

Hi tracey,

Glad to hear that you are feeling better. Don't stress about the viewing. They will understand that you are preparing to move. In fact, it may indicate to them how quickly they can take occupancy.

Take care,
Beth

I broke my scales!!! Stood on them & they've had it!!!
So i got my new digital scales out...they say i've gained 14 lb's

Still not made the gym - i want to get my energy levels back up - but now i'm wondering is they wont go up until i start exercising again

The viewing seemed to go well, i have been in a mad cleaning/tidying frenzy all weekend!!
Spent a fortune on 'stuff'
christmas presents & things for the new house - curtains, lightfittings etc....

Was starting to feel better today, (just a bit chesty) then the teacher decided i was to work with groups all day - after a whole day on my feet & talking my throat is now hurting again!! I will NOT do that again!! Usually have groups in the afternoons - all day is too much!

Monday
b/fast - cereal
lunch - cheese & ham roll, yogurt, mini danish, cheese & onion sausage roll
dinner - spag bol with jalepeno bread

 

[postesf]

Hey there! Glad to hear the viewing went well!!! Glad you're feeling a bit better! Too bad about the all day talking/standing! Hope you are much better today!

[toystoryduo]

That's great news, Tracey! I bet you are so excited!

Have a great Wednesday!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracey, I am glad you are feeling better in spite of the setback from working with groups all day. That is wonderful you will be moved in so soon! I am so excited for you, there's nothing like a new house. Don't worry about the 14 pounds, you have been sick, stressed to the max and its the holidays. It will come off, just get back to the gym when you can and don't stress about it. You have enough stress already! Hang in there and continue to feel better!

 

[traceycooper]

Friday
spoke to sales manager about house & we're going for an 'official' tour on Tuesday - they show you how everything works!
She said carpets are going in Monday

b/fast - cereal
lunch - sandwich, yogurt, small choc bar....loads of chocolates - headteachers birthday
dinner - fish & chips, ANOTHER small choc bar - these 'small' choc bars are sure adding up into one huge monster!!!

Hoping to get back to the gym on Sunday, still coughing a bit its on my chest, but i'll try to go & not go mad!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend

Amy - compared to what you are going through i have nothing to get stressed about - take care

Hi Tracey~

It sounds like things are coming together for your move. I am so happy for you! I hope you'll post pictures of the house once you're all moved in.
