Hmmm, my entertainment budget is only £20 and I only really do cinema, hardly ever go out, but meals (cheap, once every two/three months) with friends comes out of that as well and anything else I want to do,rare gigs, theatre etc. Only saving £30 towards holidays as well. I don't think that's much,is it? That's why I was saying about the second job...

I think I would want to live a little too then!

How about getting your ex to come and babysit your LO once a week and then you could get out to a class. You wouldn't know who you might meet at a salsa class!!!!

I have a friend that is game for a class so hopefully we can motivate each other to something other than the pub :rolleyes:

I have another friend who is game for walking once or twice a month and have a friend that has just lost loads of weight so may also be game for some sort of exercise class or thing so hopefully I can set up lots of exercise reasons to see my friends for catch ups.

You have a good reason for not getting out to exercise though it must be frustrating at times, I am basically just a lazy cow.

Walks with mates this time of year are fab as you get some fresh air, some exercise and more importantly a good gossip :T

That's a shame. He does seem to be a good Dad with you LO though, which is one positive.

Yeah he is a fab dad still and as much as I hate to admit it his bint is good with her too. As long as DD is happy then I can't ask anymore.

I hope after the money side is settled and divorce finalised we may be able to get on a little better.

Its such a shame as we have been best mates for 17 years and I mourn the loss of that as much as my marriage if that makes sense

poorandindenial

lol - can't beat a good gossip

I am guessing that your LO keeps you pretty active anyway, you could always use her as an excuse for running around more

Yeah they are!!! I used to walk with my friend when I lived in Ireland, about 3-4 times a week! We would do a 4 mile walk and get a magnum on the way back. How bad!!!!
