    The plan has changd slightly, we went food shopping and ds had a major tantrum in the shop so he was warned unless it stopped we wouldn't go out on our bikes. The tantrum continued so the bike ride is now off for today. Once he calmed himself down he has been lovely again but he needs to learn I mean it, so we are having an indoor day doing housework and the other bits from the list.

    I have hoovered through and done the ironing and the washing pile has gone too :T My Grandad phonde earlier and wants us to go to the pub with him for dinner tonight which is lovely but not great for the point counting :o I will try and be good for the rest of the day though.

    Back from the pub, had fish and ships and it was quite greasy :o I dind't have a dessert and drank diet coke, so could have been worse, although I did eat a bag of toffees this afternoon :(:( Tomorrow I really will start doing better, we're going out on our bikes (ds behaviour permitting), and I will take a picnic with us and we will aim to be good ;)

    I wish I could stop thinking about my unimate too, has really been on my mind a lot, not sure if its just cos I haven't had any male interest for ages or cos there was always a spark there that was ignored at uni and now am excited about it again :o Fairly pointless really as I have no idea how long it will be til he comes over and even then it will only be a one night thing (or one weekend thing) ;) But can't help feeling dead excited about it :o

    Yep we will continue to chat but obviously the time difference,him being at work and the matter of his wife will make that quite tricky :o He said things are far from great between them and will tellme more about it next time, he always did have a roving eye so am not surprised; I think I also like the idea of being with a guy who I'm comfortable with who knows me iyswim, I know I haven't seen him for years but we lives together for 4 years, just would make a change from chatting to some guy I've never met before, at least you've got that comfortable familiarity ;)

    Oops, forgot to mention (not that I think I need to, but just in case :o) ... I'm not mentioning anything about my ex-uni mate on f/b as I have uni friends on there and we don't want them knowing ;):D

    Just had another chat with friend, only a quick one tonight as he's working late. Will be around tomorrow evening for another chat, I feel like an excited schoolkid which is barmy, absolutely daft, but it feels nice all the same :p

    Morning, Ihave already cooked chicken thighs and roasted vegetables this morning ready for a picnic today :D I really want to try and stick to my points again today.

    We're going out on our bikes today and will take the picnic with us. Ds has a cycle computer now so will be interesting to see how far we go ;)

    I must also take the stuff back to next, theres still several bits that haven't arrived yet so its a bit annoying as I'll probably end up having to make another trip over there :cool:

    Payday today too so later on I need to make sure all monies are in the right place. Have a good day :D

    Ooooh, not sure what to do ... whsmiths have nintendo wii's for £119 :eek::) :) Now I know we used to have one and I sold it cos we didn't use it but ds is that much older now and all his friends have them and I wonder whether it would get more use now ... My friend works in Blockbuster so I can get games to rent for it easily enough (she will take it back if I forget ;)), and it is my birthday this week and I always get money for my birthday nd usually it goes in the mortgage pot but this year I think I will spend some anyway. Ds plays on his dads when he's there and he loves it, just not sure whether to get one or not ... opinions please :)
