JKS - 3.30 and 4.30am nightmare. Hope you get an early night tonight. !!!

Sorry sorry didn't mean to keep you hanging so long!

It went well. He was really friendly and easy to talk to and we chatted non stop. He didn't say anything that put me off, we seem to have quite a lot in common. Not sure of fancying though, he's not unattractive but didn't make me go phwoar. But I will see him again as if he is as nice as he seemed there is potential for him to grow on me. Especially as the initial phwoar thing (exh, wc, aw) has not worked out well for me!!

I had typed out more detail but lost it and cba now!

Sounds good to me! The phwoar factor is not all its cracked up to be. As long as you can talk and have a laugh that is what matters in the long run!

V quiet on here these days. I hope everyone is getting their jobs done!

JKS - sorry to hear re the early awakenings. Poor you.

Freaki - like HMHB says, phwoar not necessarily required. Personality and ability to chat non stop, have things in common and laugh a bit are all much more important... oh, my my, that's what you said happened!

No list today, DH is home, so just pottering really.

Meals:
Weds was Sausages, sautes and greens
Thurs: Stew and jackets (cooking now and making me hungry!)
Fri: Curry in a Hurry
Sat: something from "VEG"
Sun: Roast Chicken plus the trimmings
Mon: Pork steaks (poss in kebabs plus salad)
Tues: something else from "VEG"

....

JKS that sounds hideous :(

DS2 was awake in the night for an hour before he would drop off again, so matchsticks needed here too!

Freak - I agree, phwoar instantly is not required - and that sounds like a lovely date. Glad you are going to see him again :)

We are pottering along alright here, need a short list for this afternoon just to make sure I stay on top of things.

TO DO
Finish clearing up from lunch
Breadmaker on
2 loads of washing
Dust bedrooms
Reading with DS1 (done some)

I did have an early night, luckily as DD wanted hand-holding at 4.30 - very strange from her, she had her dummy in but was crying, i held her hand she hung on for a minute then pushed it away and fell asleep!
Boys not up until 6.30 think they were knackered too.

JkS how can you cope with your weight in Kgs? Am just old duffer so can't think other than st and lb. am also trying to lose half a stone or so.

Mini - weirdly I can work in either now. Though I prefer stones really, my ideal is a convenient 8 & a half stone, or 54kg, the stone one is easier to remember. And my max is 9st. (not when ive been pg obv!) I think dh prefers the kg option on the scales as his ideal is 80 (ha as if right now!) and his max is 100 (ahem).

Morning all :)

I have no idea about kilos either, pounds here. Scales are down again this morning, 4.5 pounds in not quite 3 weeks which I'm pretty happy with.

MONDAY
All up and dressed - done
Unload dishwasher - done
Breakfast and tidy kitchen - done

JKS - I am same as you. Ideally 8 and a half stone. If I'm heading towards 9 stone, eat less cake. Tho' think our scales are a bit dodge.

Well done HMHB.
I feel I have been so good over the last month, no cake or biscuits, no wheat bread either and buggar all weight change GRRR.

Well done HMHB :)

Mini - if we're honest, although I'm being good, I'm only losing weight because DD is dropping her BF. I've found with each child that as they eat more food my body 'allows' me to lose weight. So it's kind of cheating really! Nothing more frustrating than being good and not seeing the results, grr.
