    Hi Benben, you're not the only one struggling with the weight loss thing - I managed 3 days of shred and then stopped! :o I have managed to stay the same this week but must try harder. I think it will be easier when the weather warms up a bit!:)

    I managed a nice early night last night, was asleep by about 9.30 ... until I got a text at 11.50pm from a friend to tell me she had had a little boy :D:D Dead pleased for her, but not quite so pleased to be wide awake until 3.30 this morning :cool: Never mind, don't feel *too* bad this morning, the kids have got an RE GCSE today so I need to be wide awake :o

    sorry to bring it up ben ben but i think that cutie is bit off not even texting you to let you know either way. If that is the way he wants to be to be honest you are best out of it I can guess you must be disappointed but onwards and upwards Mr Right is out there for you.

    FWIW I think that he does really like you ben but as he has said before he isn't looking for a relationship right now. I reckon as he's got to know you he likes you but feels bad about saying anything else to dissuade you so is saying nothing at all or just keeps saying he's busy in the hope that you get the message.

    So although I think this is quite negative, I think it is a good thing that he likes you enough to feel bad about letting you down - if that makes sense? I know what I mean.......

    I still think he's missing out :)

    Lol PL and Polesalot ... well I finally have an update for you :D:D

    Today I bumped into cutie at school, I thought there was a chance he'd be in today as he wasn't in last wednesday when he said he may be. Anyway, he saw me coming (he was chatting with an admin person in the corridor) and he stopped talking to her and almost stood in front of me to block me missing him (as if!) ... anyway, he said "Hi, hi, how are you? We need to talk" and kept looking at the admin person who just didn't get the hint at all and just stood there :cool: Anyway, I said Hi, then he said "I haven't been ignoring you, I know I haven't replied to your texts yet but I haven't been ignoring you, we need to chat", I explained I had to get to a lesson (had a kid with me), and he said he'd try and find me before he left and if not he'd text me. As I started walking away he shouted at me "Great to see you, and you look great, I'll text you" :j :j

    Lets face it, he's *rap at texting, but he honestly couldn't have looked more pleased to see me if he'd tried :D:D I think he does like me a bit, not enough but a bit, but think he is stupidly busy with his training and new school and its just not a priority for him. Thats fine, I'm happy to be mates, so long as he does finally text me at some point! I reckon it could easily be another week or two before he gets round to it but it totally made my day :D Not in a 'I'm gonna sit here and wait for him' kinda way, just in a feeling better about myself kinda way :)

    the way this relationship is going, me thinks it will make a great movie, "will they,wont they", sounds like he's still interested good to be taking it slow, hopefully soon he will step it up a gear.

    Dangers,my shred is still in the cellophane, keep looking at it saying i'll do it tomorra, just been looking at bikini'son the Nextwebpage, think i will get a move on.

    Benben good news about your friend'sbaby.xx
