It’s been one of those kind of days today. The ones that start off kind of okay and then get progressively worse…and worse…and worse.

Discovered that half of the small town I live in has been shut down to road works. Why all the builders think it’s a good idea to carry out these ‘essential works’ all at once I shall never know. It took me an uncomfortable twenty minutes to even park up before I could dream of buying a latte on the walk to the office…

Anyway, parking trauma over I made my way to the doors to the mall to exit the car park. I was suddenly aware that the area was surprisingly quiet, then I noticed it…..MASSIVE bright orange cones and tape were all over the area I was stood in. Looking down at my feet I noticed I was stood in freshly laid tarmac…oh how wonderful! I decided sprinting away before the builders saw was the only option.

The next issue was the absolutely horrible, tiny, metal lift. I’m sure the world was against me this morning as the lift proceeded to stop at every single floor above and below the floor I wanted…another ten minutes wasted. So by this time I was rushing and had got into a sprinting rhythm when BOOM! The utterly stupid lady in front of me stopped dead in her tracks. And me, Ruby ‘Linford Christie’ Divine practically jumped on her back and rode her down the street. I don’t that a mere ‘Oh my god! I am SO sorry!’ makes much difference once you have treated a passer by as a pack horse.

Lets just say I am not looking forward to the events of work tonight as I fear another disaster may be on it’s way…

I’ve decided that I want to be a changed lady before I return back to University this time (in like…three weeks might I add). This means that I WILL shift those extra few pounds that are making me feel bigger than free willy in a training tank.

I’m serious this time. Me and my girlfriend (not in the gay way, I am 100% straight…) popped into Holland & Barratt to see what aids may help us both in our weight loss mission. We ended up coming away with an extensive knowledge of cider vinegar, a peach and green tea fruit juice and the realisation that we could no longer go to Le Croque for tea and cakes. It was a sad day.

We both decided to take a supplement tablet of Kelp, Lecithin, Cider Vinegar & B6. Upon further reading up we discovered that ‘excessive consumption of B6 may cause mild numbness and tingling…’ They failed to mention the lovely vinegary taste that invades your mouth every so often. How lovely.
