Surgery in 18 days time ....
Feb 18, 2010
So, it was my last day at work today - went in to say goodbye to the team which was quite sad - I will miss them greatly but need to focus on me for a while and to let them move on too.I was presented with a lovely bouquet of flowers and a card plus the most huge selection of chocolates all wrapped up in a beautiful arabic display - I'm not sure what this is called - but it's beautiful and too nice to open (plus no doubt I will want to eat them all - so will wait until my guests arrive next week and they can tuck in !). There was also a fabulous cake from the French Bakery which was yummy.
I've started to make some friends on this site and also managed to find someone locally in Dubai who is contemplating the same surgery as me too in Dubai so we are planning to meet on Sunday for a coffee - it would be good to get together and discuss this - I've not told anyone at work and don't intend to so it will be good to find a fellow WLS pal who is local to me too.
Not managed to track down any protein powder yet - will go on a mission and do this on Sunday or Monday. Dubai is a funny place for shopping for food - there is certainly plenty of everything and all sorts of cuisines etc - but sometimes you struggle to get a regular supply of something so if you see if you tend to buy in multiples and build up a stockpile because you don't know when you will see it again - which sounds a bit sad but that's how it is. I'm also always asking guests to bring out silly little things from the Uk either because you can't buy it here - or it costs a fortune because of the shipping and customs duty etc.
Found a beautiful Betty Boo avatar to add to my profile - this is the body that I know I have under this excess baggage that I've been carrying around with me !
Set up some goals on the site too so have some targets to work towards which is great.
It's the weekend tomorrow and Saturday so am looking forward to a few days off with my hubbie - and then it's our 1st Wedding Anniversary on Sunday (though we have been together for almost 15 years now).
