LighterLife Info Meeting...

OOOoooo....I went along to my LighterLife Info meeting and it was ok. The Counsellor seemed nice enough and the ladies joining the sessions looked the same as me, though not all as big :-(

So we had to watch this video which was a lot like one of those American infermercials you see on ITV3 at about 4am. You find some 80s ex-Dallas star trying for 30 minutes to sell you piles cream that REALLY works. I may take the piss but in actual fact, I did buy into the dream.

I did mention in my previous post that I am one of the more desperate frumps around so I didn't take much convincing to be honest.

I did however wonder how long it may take to convince my husband to part with £66 per week from our joint account. He was amazingly supportive. Not that he isn't usually supportive because he is. I just wasn't too sure he would be £264 a month worth of supportive. I mean....thats like a mortgage payment in some areas of the country!! When all is said and done though, he wants me to live long enough so that he doesn't have to raise 3 children alone and he certainly sees the appeal in regaining some kind of sex-life. I think he may pay £100 indefinately if it meant he would get to shag a slim wife instead of the fat one he has to make do with at the moment.

So dearest gorgeous hubbies only concern is that we cant afford the plan until after chrimbo at least which is fine because the group wont start until the new year. I get to feed my face with Christmas dinner after all. YAY! But after that of course, it down to business :-/

MEDICAL

At the info meeting I was given a medical form to get my doctor to carry out and fill in. I took this down to the surgery this morning and the receptionists didn't have a clue what to do with it. They refused to book me in until the doctor had looked over the form and agreed to go along with it. One of them even suggested they just get the doctor to sign it and charge me £10 without even having the medical carried out. I was pretty shocked and politely explained that there was little chance of me paying for a medical that wouldnt even be carried out. So they all stood in a corner whispering about the situation and eventually one came back saying she would hand it to the doctor and I would have to telephone later today once he has decided what to do. What a bunch of bints! I should have just asked to make an appointment with the doctor. I made the mistake of explaining what the appointment was for when asked if it was something the practice nurse could deal with. I should have just said No and dealt directly with the doctor once in the appointment. Ah well! You live and learn!

So now I wait.......
