Well what a productive day i've had. Spurred on by my 5 lb weight loss I am all motivated and smiley (remind me of that in a couple of months!), and 2 people sponsored me today and I havent even sent out the email to people yet. My wee bruv Ross was my first sponsored swiftly followed by Hilary who also uses the WLR website - how nice!??
Anyway today went like this - Took Alister to nursery and went for a meeting with the employment law lady at Citizens Advice. She agrees that I have a good case for unfair dismissal and sex discrimination. She was very impressed with all the work Niki has done for me in writing the letters and the tribunal claim. She gave me the name of a solicitor to get in touch with in Edinburgh should it come to needing one, think i'll wait until after my next appeal hearing to go there.
So that was nice. came home, had my brekkie checked my email to find my 2 sponsors. Sooooo chuffed, thanks guys! Then chased up a guy at Reed recruitment in Edinburgh and am meeting him tomorrow to talk about getting work. I need something fast before I go mad.
After that I settled down to some studying. It's religion just now and much more interesting than my tutor made it out to be. each to their own Willie.... oh Wille's my tutor's name, i dont mean each to their own willie as in boy bits! About 2pm I decided that whilst I am not working, on the days Al is at nursery I will try and go swimming for a bit before I pick him up. so today i went swimming for the first time in years! Hence the Ouch in the title....
I am a big woose and hate water in my eyes and nose so stuck my ehad up out of the water but it's given me a sore back swimming like that. Will invest in goggles and nose clip before i go again! But feel chuffed that I actually did it. Half an hour and probably about 12 lengths but not bad for starters. Oh and a wee tip for anyone as well endowed in the booby department as me (although I dont know anyone who is!), if you do front crawl even for half a length it's a distinct possibility that at least 1 boob will pop out! Wont be trying that again! Looks like it's breast stroke for me all the way. How apt...
So tomorrow should be interesting. Apart from meeting this agency bloke Alister has a doctors appointment at 3.20 to get his immunisations up to date. 2 injections and a spoonful of something quite horrible i should imagine. Remember when we got polio medicine on a sugar cube? Much nicer, alright not great for teeth but really it's not like he sits and munches on raw sugar all day every day. I'm sure 1 sugar lump to make it taste a bit nicer wouldnt kill the kids of today! Anyway, when he had his jags as a baby he was fine but these days he goes into full on drama queen mode if i even try to put a plaster on him. Not looking forward to it. Promised I would take him to see Shrek the Third at the weekend if he is very brave. 
Anyway, i've chased about jobs, i've studied, i've eaten well, i've excercised, i've got my first sponsors, i've updated my food for the day on WLR and i've written today's blog. Like I said, a very productive day!
I think I will have a long soak in the bath tonight and just chill a bit. Lovely 
Bye for now,
Jill
