Isn't it just typical?

Just my luck, I get twenty four weeks at Weight Watchers offered to me by the doctor and because of my work pattern and WW's restrictions I can't use the offer. I could attend two different classes because I work shifts but I have to attend EVERY week. Even with two there will be times when I can't attend either. I can still do the exercise programme which lasts fifteen weeks and that has an eight week 'nutrition class' attached to it, which is something I suppose. Pauline is going to start WWs on Monday so I'll just work out something for me from what she gets from them. If all goes well in a couple of years (if I'm still around) there should be a slimmer, fitter more wrinkly me.

About time!

It's been a while since my last blog, this has been mainly due to, who knows what? Time just seems to whiz past these days. It seems that my work shifts are going to stay the same as they are now, nobody can find a better alternative, the only difference being the main shift is now made up of 4 not 6, with the seasonals working 04:00-16:00 and 12:00-00:00 shifts. Submitted and had agreed my holiday dates for this year, May, July, Sept and Nov with 3 floating days left. I've decided to take 4 separate weeks this year but that could all change if I get a job with Arriva in April (I've been told that's when they are recruiting again)
We have changed our VirginMedia TV package and now have a V+HD box and faster broadband for less money, which is going to be great when the new F1 and BTCC season starts.
From what I've seen and heard all the grandchildren are progressing along nicely, Izzy insists on calling me granddad and not Pop when she sees me and I've nicknamed Noah as NOSH after a spelling mistake by Caz on Facebook.
One of Pauline's long time neighbours died from cancer on Sunday, she'd been ill a while but no-one knew how bad it was really. I'm feeling pretty proud of Pauline at the moment as she's done really well giving up the smoking and dealing with the side effects of the anti-cholesterol medication she's taking. I'm going around the Doctors later today to see the nurse and get my 'Well Man' programme started, now I can move my right arm a lot more, hopefully in a couple of years or so there will be a lot slimmer and lighter me!
