    lu you are one of the sweetest people on here that is for sure. I work from home and have a very small circle of friends. now that I have been here for so long when I go home to America my old friends feel like strangers too. Being shy is very hard, I'm not shy I just have low self confidence so if I ever so meet anyone I can never think of anything to say.

    Sorry just lemon drizzle and banana bread. Took the youngest 2 swimming in an attempt to offset the lack of healthy eating. Had a good time playing piggy in the middle and messing about. A pain not having my prescription goggles, must look into cannibalising another pair to see if I can fix them.

    OH has called lunch beckons.

    Brandy snaps etc sound lovely, Im trying so hard not to eat anything nice until christmas, I have hardly lost anything in 2 weeks and Im starving. Think I need to get exercising or nothing is going to move. Hope we get to lose some more weight before christmas, want to make some room for indulging in niceness.:rotfl:

    Had a lovely evening last night, played badminton and then went to the pub with them all. Pushing my comfort zone. Looks like there might be a Christmas meal as well, didn't think we were going to go as it falls on one of the school play nights but they have changed it for us. Mind you did bump into DS1 in the pub!

    Going home to do house work and collect DS2 from the maths tutor (he was in the pub as well).
