    Guess who's lost 3.5lbs this week at WW :j :D :j :D
    Last week I stayed the same, so this is probably catching up from there, and I have hardly eaten anything today, but even so I don't care, I'm sooo happy :D I am now back to 10 and a half stone and actually liked what I saw in the mirror today for the first time in a very long time, and I know this is helping me with cutie, if I hadn't lost weight I would never have been brave enough to go after him :D

    One more stone to go before next summer holidays, but actually I'm pretty happy where I am now so am not in a major rush with it, I need to start toning up the bits that are left now though :)

    well done on having coffee with cutie. I agree with the others about there is no rush! I hope that it all goes well with you.

    Well done on the weight loss, so pleased for you. I would like to be your weight, just have to work at it.... er that would be why i am staying the same then lol.

    Two bits of good news today, one not so good ...

    The not so good ... found out today that cutie only has 3 more days left at school with us :eek: He doesn't work fridays so won't be in tomorrow, and then is in on monday, tuesday, wednesday next week, then goes on the German trip from thursday - sunday, then won't be in for the last week of term as his course breaks up a week before our school :(:(

    The good news though ....

    I was just coming out of a class today and he was further up the corridor and he saw me and waved to me and then came over. The kid I was with was jsut stood there and he said to them "Excuse me a minute, can I just talk to miss?" SO i sent the kid off to another lesson and he said "Can I ask you a favour, would you mind writing a witness report for me for my training please?" I said "Yeah, no problem at all, what is it exactly?" and he said "Don't worry about it at the moment, can I explain it next week and we'll do it then as I have to get to a lesson?" :)
    I spoke to the languages ta later on and she said theres no reason whatsoever for asking me to do it other than he was looking for a reason to talk to me, she said she could do it for him no problem and has been working with him today but he hasn't mentioned it to her at all :D She said it would be easier for her to do as she has observed his lessons and clearly I haven't, so there is no reason why I would be the person to ask :j :j Made my day :D:D I know its not quite another date or anything, more like a 5 minute chat in the corridor or hopefully grabbing a coffee at school, but it seems like a bit of progress?? I still don't think he's that interested, but I don't think he's not interested either?? But now i don't see him until monday again :(

    The second bit of good news was the raffle prize that I won, I went to collect it this morning and it is a 75minute Dermalogica facial and massage :j :j
