    Jay: No, i flipping go for it hardcore!! But there was a time when i hated standing up in front of my friends if we were sitting at a table so i can relate in that way. I think the best way to get over it is to know that you are making changes and to face it front on. 9 times out of 10 im embarassed about my OH and how he eats, he basically eats food like he's been deprived of food for a good month, im a 1/4 through my meal and he's finished. Then he will start to pick at mine. I tell him so many times to eat normally!!

    I love a bit of shopping, but now that were getting a flat and matt will be paying the rent for it i cant spend his money on clothes so half the joy has been taken out! I hate spending money that ive saved up :p

    Dover castle was alright! I have been there before with the parents but thought i'd take matt. Plus all the trade i have given dover castle must be hundreds of pounds from the people coming off the cruise ships that i deserved to get in for free! The war time tunnels are the best bit, without that its a bit nothing in my opinion. Im more interested in the graffiti the people during the war wrote on the walls! One was a woman called mary who dated it 1807 - but it was all men down there so she obviously had a cracking time!

    Matt didnt get in untill 2:30 this morning and i had to let him in cos i was too scared to open the front door and leave a key outside so i kept waking up and then when he came in i couldnt get back to sleep for love nor money so i feel really tired. Were off out for dinner tonight, its soooo nice to have a break from college work and do something fun, really refreshing!

    anyway, ciao all!

    :confused: Odd, it took me ages to find the 'suggest a friend' button in the new layout. Is it not in your 'home' bit??

    went into work today and on the wall a picture of all the staff which was taken in march for visiters to see who works there!!
    well i am 6stone lighter and it looks awful everyone commenting on it!
    i hate all the attention it is horriable!! and yes it is a staying forever (well till i leave) ahhhhh!!

    Look on the bright side, any client coming in will say to you 'Wow you look so different to the staff pic, have you lost weight?' :rotfl:
    Is it a pic with all staff, or individual pics? Could they not just re-do yours?
