Monday 2 February
I couldnt do anything today - by the time I woke up at 730am lots more snow had fallen (about 6inches) and running was impossible.
But instead of going back to bed, I had some cornflakes (I didnt need the carbs for running but it was cold) And then started work.
First on my to do list was thinking about resigning. My paper said voluntary redunancy might be an option, so I wrote down a little speech.
Then I did some laundry and hoovering and tidied my bathroom.
I got my swimming stuff ready and ploughed through the snow in my UGG boots to the local swimmimg pool. (Need to do some exercise with marathon training)
THE pool was closed an i was so angry. Walking to the pool was a bit of exercise, but I needed more. So i walked a bit further to Primark. Fighting the crowds in Primark is heartbeat-racing stuff. Ended up with 2 nice belts, a dress and a pink and silver checked jacket and it was only £28. I LOVE primark.
Battled my way back home, had a healthy lunch of fish and vegetables 9athough followed with something chocolatey for pudding) and then did some work on my own book - more research stuff about finding my own voice / synopsis.
Was vaguely in touch with Firgas - we were meant to go to a spa for a pamper party at 5pm but the event got cancelled. The therapists couldnt make it in because of the snow. Madness!
F told me she was on the roof of her office thrwoing snowballs at the nearby office where her ex boyfriend works, and it was making her feel a lot better. I would love to do the same but I think I am scared of going anywhere near my ex-boyfriends places in case they see me and we have to make small talk. I am not in touch with any of my ex's, especially the one I have a restraining order against.
But talking of men - nme man emailed saying it has been ages and he misses me. (Amazing but no kiss in the email)
We had a brief conversation about work and tv appearances but I left the conversation mid-way to make some cakes for the BBC show I do, as it was the presenters birthday. I did mean to email back NME man but I completely forgot (I think that is a good sign - shows i am getting over him)
The cakes were delcious but i ate some of the mixture as i was making it. Then I had to try one after to make sure it was ok.
Spent a hellish 30mins in a queue at asda for icing because no check out people were working because of the snow. And the only way i could find coloured cake icing was in a packet of decorate yourself gingerbread hearts. After i made the icing (and licked a bit of the bowl) I had a gingerbread heart with some chocolate icing and then had some salt and vinegar popcorn to get rid of the sugar rush. (didnt work)
Got back to my computer again to email the BBC some ideas for the TV show tomorrow and then called my mum to rehearse my resignantion speech. My poor mum - she thinks i am cracking up. (Which i probably am)
Went to bed feeling very hyperactive from all the choclate with my resignation speech echoing around my head.
