Hope you enjoy your night out and the malteser cheesecake sounds very yummy, I'd have to try that out!

I seem to have fallen off the diet wagon big style as I've eatem like a starving beast all day. Not healthy things either.
Went to get my trotters sorted out last night. Chiropodist thinks I did break my toe when I stubbed it, where the break is the bone is growing over which is what's hurting and causing the lump. I could have an operation to file the bone down. No thanks. I need to wear shoes with firmer soles ie hiking boots (such a good look) and when it 'sets' it should be ok. It'll mean I don't have much mobility in my toes. Anyway he's strapped it up for now so I had a decent nights sleep as I didn't keep catching it in the duvet.
Feeling a bit down today but not sure why. Rushed back from work to DS1s latest killings to the game dealers. Ds1 is out beating tomorrow, DD2 is at sleepover and not due to be collected until 3.45 tomorrow. Think I'll pop into town to get DS1 some revision books, go to Lidl and take the chaps swimming in the bigger pool. Paid £80 off the debt today. Still not going down fast enough.
