I love WholeFoods, but its v v v v v expensive and every time I got there I seem to spend $80 on 2 lettuces, some cherry tomatoes, a hunk of cheese and some rice cakes. Still its a great diet LOL as I can't sfford to buy food for the rest of the week!!!!

and good luck ChiTownLady, I haven't been back to the UK for 2yrs and I miss my family. But I would never go back there to live.

We call Whole Foods the "dollar a bite" store They do have wonderful things in there, though.

So you're back in the UK for good, you think, ChiTown?

Yes, Whole Foods is fab. DS thinks their cheese samples are great. If only I could afford to do my weekly shop there.

I shouldn't do my weekly shop there but I do tend to get most stuff their as it just tastes better. Bloody ought to for the cost of it!!!

But they don't have red lentils

I've never looked for red lentils, I usually hang round the cooked foods and Whole Body!!!!

Am talking online to a v nice guy who I met through match.com, he wants to go grocery shopping there with me then cook dinner together. Am too scared to say yes even tho I would love to! Aaasggghhh damn my neuroses!!!!!

Ooo, that sounds like a good date

The cooked food bit is the best although DS really doesn't understand why you can't just help yourself.

Hmmm, match.com...

My theory was that on match.com everything is traceable so hopefully not that many psychos would bother with it! So far I've talked to 3 or 4 guys all of whom seem nice and genuine. Wholefoods guy is my número uno so far. Its nice cos I can control the pace and there's no alcohol involved. Fingers crossed I just need to find the courage to take him up on his offer!!!

Sounds promising. You sound very wise.

So have you met him IRL and done the safe drinks bit, mananny?

Not yet jabberwocky, we have been emailing twice or thrice daily for about 3 weeks, exchanged phone numbers today in fact. So we will chat on the phone for a bit before meeting IRL. Will most definitely make our first meeting a daytime one, brunch perhaps after Easter. That gives us both a while to grow cahoonas get to know more about each other. I had a couple of bad experiences last year so am ultra cautious now. But at the same time I don't want to end up being the hairy old lady living in a log cabin with 35 cats. So I have to put myself out there a bit. So far match.com has been a lot of fun. Everyone seems genuinely looking for a relationship not just sex. Fingers crossed! I'll be talking to the guy after work tonight, am sooooooooooo nervous already, excited too

So, how was the phonecall mananny? I hate speaking to new people on the phone - I get stupidly shy

He's working late, am both gutted and relieved!!! He'll call when he's done. So am having a beer to calm my frazzled nerves

And I am ridiculously shy on the phone too. No idea what to say. What do I say?!!!!!!

No idea. My mind goes blank. Someone gave me their number weeks ago and I just disappeared on him because I was too shy to call. Beer might help.

Can you discuss your weekend? Um, the weather (I am soo British). Work? School? No idea. Sorry.

mananny just pretend you've know him in rl for ages and it'll help. ChiTownLady - good luck we'll miss you. Safe journey back to Blighty.

UR hope all goes well with you. CF let me know if you need your malteser supply topping up .

All goes well in Boulder, CO if not a very very very busy week, workwise. Found myself a male friend and I mean just a friend, UR knows who I mean. At least he's fun to talk to and boosts me up when I'm down. We may even go to a party together so see if we can meet someone special for each of us. So mananny I can totally understand what you're going through.

Have a great weekend one and all just in case I don't get back on here for a while.

Aliiiiii Hope you are ok. Parties, eh? Lucky you!

I have malteasers in the fridge but am trying not to think about them

OMG maltesers ......

mananny do you want some? Where are you? If you've got a World Market near you they sell the big bags

I could donate mine if you are in need, Mananny. I will only eat mine and I really don't want to. Much better to share.

Thats really kind both of you but our local stop n shop sells them for half a kidney a bag, I am too tight to buy them except when I am desperately in need LOL. I miss being able to pop down to the corner shop and pay less than 50p a bag. Here they are $3 or so just for the regular sized bag of maybe 15 maltesers!!! Extortionate.

Extorion indeed. My fab neighbourhood produce store has started selling Cadbury's at about $2 a bar. And things like Crunchies. I have had to instate an Ethical Chocolate Only policy to stop me from buying it.

I love it. Ethical Chocolate Only policy!!! I have a no chocolate Monday to Friday policy.

Man inbetween being savaged by a manic cat and snuggled on by ds1, my local Brit Shop is not that expensive, sells Cadbury choccie finger biscuits, curlywurlys, buttons, bovril and marmite. Any takers ???
