Got an early start tomorrow, have been doing training with a trainer in desperate bid to shift the baby weight, money coming out of my savings but it feels worth it to me. Anyway have made promise that I will get up early tomorrow and run before the kids are up. I am not a morming person , this feels just wrong! But am going to give it a go.

I'm going back to the personal trainer next week, so as long s it's not peeing down here, I'll join you for the early morning run...

try buying long matches from the supermarket or hardwre shop. Kitchen shops do candle/hob lighters.

Ugh... what is it with some men?

I mean, literally on the 5 min walk back from Tesco, 'how about we go on a date? Baby you don't have to break up with your boyfriend [of 3 years], we can just chill, he doesn't need to know, you're so beautiful, blah blah blah'. £$%*&$ tried to kiss me and was edging towards my alleyway (front door still not fixed) so I told him to £$%^ right off, and he was NOT going down the alley. Left me alone eventually. Grrrr. :mad:
