Only managed 4 jogs last week in the end (really only three and a half cos stopped 3 times during one run!) Been every night so far this week, and am up to just under 2 miles without stopping.
Didnt go to Mr Lynch's after all on Friday, but did manage the Black Swan on Friday, after my day off when I had my haircut, did lots of shopping and watched Miss Potter. Basically managed Morrisons on Saturday before Julia and Hannah came round for a Mexican feast dinner.
Sunday night Anna had people round for a cake bake for Student Action for Refugees (STAR), Monay night we stayed in (I had a mini head neck and shoulder massage at work during the day) and last night we went to the music quiz at the Chillingham again. Decided not to go to Shearer's for Intsoc social tonight. Is LBS tomorrow night and our cheese and wine evening on Friday....

Busy week
Hmmmmm so what have I been up to in the last week? Watched Black Books last Thursday night with Steve and Anna. On Friday, Mum came up so we went to La Gabbia for food and then watched Bucket List on my laptop. Saturday, went into town and mum bought me some lovely shoes. In the eve it was Strictly live!
Sunday, I slept mainly, and saw Slumdog millionnaire at the Tyneside. Monday, we had this internal job fair thing at work and in the evening I went ice-skating. Anna has her American friend Megan from exchange in Australia to stay this week. Tuesday, we went to the Music Pub quiz at the Chillingham and during the day I had a work plan meeting with Clare. Yesterday was the usual ops meeting and we saw Blood Brothers at Theatre Royal - amazing! I have tomorrow off work so am going shopping and getting my hair done. Off to Mr lynch later for cocktails.
Aiming for 6 jogs this week rather than 5 last week, but will have to do 2 in one day if I want that to happen!

Great North Run - Aargh!
I'm doing the GN Run! Have run every night after work so far this week. Tomorrow's might not happen, cos I'm going for Taesuk's leaving drinks with Xtreme people at Floritas after work.
Have had video conferences with A.G.Lafley (our CEO), a 'Relax? I don't have time!' meeting (which basically comprised of meditation and hand massages) with Pam Hayes, our Occupational Health person and the usual ops meeting and coaching with Clare plus a new product training session with Linden. Some Job Event thing next Monday, which we get time off the lines for.
Haven't started on the Spanish line yet, volume isn't high enough yet. Have been swotting up on some vocab just in case, though. Tuesday night we went to the Chillingham and half joined in the pub quiz, last night we had Hannah over for a card session. Played, among other things, Racing Demons - for which my overall score was +1, I spent most of the game in minus numbers!
Tomorrow after Floritas, I'll be popping to the Swan (didn't manage last week!) Saturday mum is coming up and we're seeing Strictly Live at Metro Radion Arena, might be seeing Twilight at the cinema before that. Sunday I will be sleeping as usual (plus my jog now!)

Happy New Year!
New Year's party was quite good, despite only knowing Oli and Jo. Played Twister and Ring of Fire, tried a Cuban cigar (eugh).
On New Year's day got up at one thirty and then late afternoon ish went for a walk in Jesmond Dene with Jo and Oli. Friday night as people still weren't back in the house and Jo and Oli had gone up to Edinburgh, I stayed in and watched Mamma Mia. Saturday was a little lie-in and Morrisons, lunch in Heaton Perk and then Mum and Dad came up to bring me my new car! Now have a blue KA. We went for dinner at The Cornerhouse and then Sunday I had a proper lie-in. Had some stuff to read for work and finished my MEB application - finally!
Monday was the first night with all of us back, I cooked some form of chilli con carne with fajita sauce, nachos, tortilla and ciabatta. Anna and I were going to go the gym but we didnt, lol. She was ill with a cold though. Tuesday I had an ENT appt at Freeman hospital and then went to Bar Beyond for a bit of salsa. Last night I went to Anna's STAR meeting, Oli cooked us yummy macaroni cheese and then we watched the Jonathan Creek New Year special on iplayer. Had the usual ops and Initiatives & Advocacy meetings. Have started planning for the next quarterly in early Feb. Tonight Jo has come back up to visit/stay indefinitely so we've had fun catching up (on the last week!) and Oli cooked us all bangers and mash. My P&G cherry and kirsch pudding from the hamper was eaten for dessert(not my cup of tea!)
Tomorrow it's either the Cluny, Cumberland Arms or Black Swan and on Saturday it's the usual lie-in and Morrisons, plus Tynemouth walk, and tea and DVD at Julia's. Sunday I will be desperately cramming for starting on the Spanish line on Monday. Aargh!
