Oh no! Double groans...my first caffeine fix of the morning complete with two Truvia sweeteners!! My God, do those things leave an extremely unpleasant aftertaste!!! URGHHH!! But hey ho...this is the way I have to go! It was a reasonably steady day at work today with a Business Update meeting at 2pm! Nice! Highlight of the day...my new yummy discovery (replacing shed loads of biscuits and a Cadbury's Pot of Joy after my sandwich)....Mullerlight rhubarb crumble and custard flavoured yoghurt!! Hey seriously...they are truly delicious!!! After work it was time to have my nails done again by my talented technician Sarah Knowlson. I chose my favourite turquoise and pale grey again with some tiny
What a week it's been for me....in more ways than one!! I suppose the biggest issue (following on from my last post) was my visit to the practice nurse at my GP's surgery on Wednesday night! Having been told the bloods results over the phone (sugar too high, cholesterol too high) I thought I could perhaps try harder at remaining borderline on the sugar 'thing' whilst sweating it with the five-a-day to bring down the level of cholesterol! Oh no!! Big mistake...BIG! Think again, Eva! Yes, you guessed correctly! I'm officially diagnosed as Type 2 diabetic! How do I feel? Well I can't say it's come as a great shock! Okay then...I'm not shocked at all! The reality of the diagnosis has kicked in
I've been doing a lot of soul searching this week. Result: I am NOT where I want to be at all! That is...in EVERY aspect of my life.... It's time to get out there and make changes! First and foremost, and after blood test results came back with high sugar and high cholesterol, I have made essential changes to my diet! Since I became single (my choice after a nightmare marriage) I have always taken the easiest option when it comes to food...convenience items, snacking or I just didn't eat at all. It seemed a waste of my time just turning the oven on or even being bothered with cooking/preparing food for one! After more than eighteen months of rather foolish eating habits, yes I admit, the res
Since I became an author, one question that friends, family and colleagues have asked me from time to time is...who is my favourite author of all time! I've never really been able to give them a straight answer! It's like asking, what is my favourite film, my favourite book...or band/musician or song! The answer would vary from day to day according to my mood. There are just so many! But keeping this post strictly to the author question, I don't think I can single out any one author. The best way I can think to give you some ideas is just to tell you my top ten all time favourites in no particular order.... #AgathaChristie - the queen of suspense thrillers (best book for me: The Murder on t
Oh dear...a VERY bad start to Monday for me! After a late night setting up this new website with its text hyperlinks and SEO's I slept through my two alarm clocks and the alarm on my mobile phone. I wasn't late for work but had to start the day rushing around like an idiot instead of my usual 'wake-up-at-my-leisure-whilst-drinking-caffeine' sort of thing! Two weeks worth of production summaries to do...which I managed admirably, I must say. Tesco after work for (healthy for a change) food shop...fruit for dessert instead of the calorie charged Cadbury's Pots of Joy! Been busy sharing this new website link to the groups on Facebook and tweeted the link too (I've really missed twittering, twee
