    Grippers - I'm not just getting a grip of myself these days :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Not sure what today will bring yet - sneezing woke me up and so I had to get up to take my antihistamines. No chance of going back to sleep unfortunately.

    Will try to work on the tan (if the sun stays out) and I have to dye my hair - not very youthful greys are poking through again.:mad:
    I'll take the dog somewhere for a good walk this morning before it gets too warm - we went to the National Trust place early yesterday morning to see the deer just as the world was waking up. Really pretty and peaceful.
    The house needs cleaning and the washing needs doing so there's a bit of domesticity to do too.

    The "fling" is away for the weekend but texted almost all yesterday evening - think he's quite keen. Funny to see the other side of him - he's a very respectable senior teacher and is usually ultra professional - will have to have a poker face in school! We're in different depts in opposite ends of the school so only run into each other every now and then so it's not as if we see each other all day usually.

    Right, better get on and do the banking online - real life continues I'm afraid.:)

    Morning WW.... the start of a relationship is always exciting isn't it.. all those hormones and endorphins flowing around ..... before the domesticity of washing his socks and removing his pubic hair from the plug hole :rotfl:

    Lovely day here again. Am going to get out into the garden.... but not brave enough to do it in a bikini ;) Grass cutting and some weeding in order and may have a wander over the common and seafront later if I feel up to it. Would be nice to dip my feet in the sea for the first time this year :)

    Glass of wine was enjoyed last night but did make me very sleepy, may try another glass today !

    Sanch hope you enjoy your walk on monday. Its good to relax and slob out at times so enjoy a rest before you get a grip !

    :eek::eek::eek: This is strictly a fling! No sock washing or pubic hair! As soon as the excitement fades that will be it! No wifey business for me ever again. Been there done that - life's too short to worry about whether he'll like his tea or whether his shirts are ironed.

    With regards to the wine - practice makes perfect - have another go!:rotfl:

    :rotfl::rotfl: Good on ya girl !!

    A friend of mine has had a "fling" for years now, he has his own house and she has hers and they just get together to go out for meals, cinema and if they fancy a bit of the "other" ;) .... sounds ideal to me :D

    That's ideal for me!
    I'm too independent these days and I think a man lounging round the house watching football and getting in the way would just get on my wick.

    I'm aiming for the slightly unobtainable but still interested aura - treat 'em mean and all that!:)

    ... a man lounging round the house watching football and getting in the way would just get on my wick.

    :rotfl:You just described my DS... now he's almost 18 (next month) he gets on my wick more and more around the house... and he reminds me at times of his father... scary because his father has hardly seen him since he was 7. Not in any awful way, he's a good lad really, just think I preferred it when he used to stay in his own room rather than wanting to be sociable and sit with me in the living room fighting over the remote control and what we are gonna watch !! When its your son, its harder to get rid of them.......:rotfl:

    Hi all

    Ive indulged in a bit of bikini wearing myself this afternoon - only for an hour though its just too hot out there!

    Off to take my mum to the airport now ... joy of joys. At least in the car my hayfever wont drive me mad.

    Might treat myself to a beer and a few cheese crackers later ... enjoy the rest of the weekend x

    Sanch in a bikini! Summer has come!;)

    A nice day here again so far but the forecast is bad for this afternoon so will get out and about this morning to make the most of it.
    I spent much of the day out in the sun in the garden yesterday and have woken up with white bits! Isn't it funny how you always feel better when you have a tan? I think it helps to deflect a multitude of sins.

    Get this - I'm "magnificent"! The latest from the fling :rotfl:
    He obviously can't see me now shuffling around in a dressing gown, sniffing and sneezing and waiting for the antihistamines to kick in!

    Plans for today....get the dog walked for an hour or so, pop to the shops to see if there's anything fabulous to buy (not the big shopping centre, just the local town), do a bit of DIY and get some fabbing done - eye brows, nails and toenails.

    Hope everyone has a good bank holiday!

    Sanch - my bikini is now back in the drawer too....:(

    Went shopping yesterday and bought loads of new underwear ;), a posh frock for the school prom and a couple of tops from Next.
    The frock is lovely and makes me feel really nice - its from Coast (in the sale) and is almost floor length, a pewter colour and very feminine but with a hint of sexy.
    The Fling will be there so I want to be super-fabulous - nobody at school knows about us so it will be our little secret. :p

    I made an enquiry for Botox treatment yesterday too - have wanted to get this done for a while now and so finally took the plunge. Will wait and see what the doctor says when she gets back to me. I'm working tomorrow morning (revision sessions again) and the extra payment would almost pay for it so its a real temptation.
    Get me, all image conscious! Being 41 is no fun so its time to turn back time, or at least slow it down a bit. I don't think I'll turn into a plastic woman though - couldn't afford it for a start :rotfl:
    I'd also love to have my teeth whitened.

    I don't think I'd go as far as surgery but a little bit of a helping hand won't hurt.....
