  • Thanks bufster. Trying to remain and play it at least a little bit cool but sooooo hard cos I just want to ask if he's dating anyone else/what he's thinking etc but MUST NOT and must remain cool and serene!!!

    Still head over heels for mr heartbreak from the summer which isn't good!!!

  • Not a bad day today! Went to bank and changed my mortgage rate saving almost 260 a month! Managing partner said he's really impressed with how I'm running things and went for a run. Run was hard and a few twinges (and now have shin pain) so just did what I needed to on the programme (with a little speed work on the end).

    Have had quite a few messages from mr Friday night which have been nice - only 3 days until I see him now! And had long call with gay best mate so was nice to talk to him and having supper with him tomorrow night

    Have BBJ in the morning!

    Did you have to have your house valued again Lula? I could do with getting a better rate, but no idea how to go about it considering the house needs a lot of work doing on it - it kind of fell apart after I bought it.

    Dare I ask what BBJ is???
    Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending
  • Yep Gwen but I'm with HSBC so they just do it over the phone with their mortgage centre - takes 2 mins

    BBJ is my personal trainer - we call him bodies by Jason (it's from a film)

    Sadly didn't make it this morning, got up and felt really sick (still do) so didn't go which is annoying as means not getting thinner but still have to pay as not cancelled on 12 hours notice!!

  • So I ran Thursday night which was tough but glad I did it and had BBJ on Friday morning. Went out with the guy Friday night and had a lovely night. I think he's possibly one of the most genuine people I've ever met. I now have to not get put off by fact he is not the typical alpha male I go for.

    Spent yesterday and last night with friends and seeing the bloke and his little one (eek) later for a walk and coffee/cake

    I really ought to run today but don't think I'll end up going

    Hey guys. Sorry I've been MIA for a while but been in a tiz (in a good way!) over MFN! It's official now were together which is great. Only fly in ointment is the wife (they're separated and had been for some time before I met him). He's commenced divorce proceedings but she's having a difficult time accepting it's over including still wearing her wedding ring. Worst thing was, I was in court the other day for clients and she was there cos he'd made an interim application in the proceedings! Not sure she knows about me but it felt bloody awkward!!! She's a big unit though!!!

    Hey guys. Been a while since I posted on here. Still together with mr Friday night and it's been 3 months now. Going really well and seeing him 3-4 times per week and have met all the family

    The running and training not going so well a) cos I have less time due to mr Friday night and b) work horrid and mentally busy but I'm training at 615am tomorrow in a bid to get back into it

    Hope everyone's ok!

    So, trained at 615 this morning. It cost £30 so not very MSE but I do enjoy it and look/feel better for it. Spent £23.44 on a magazine subscription to Disney cakes and sweets magazine as mr Friday night has a little one I bake for so figure can make him some cool stuff. £13.80 on a Chinese take out but I'm off tomorrow and turned down an invite to the pub where would have spent more than that on drinks and then still had to buy food so figure not too bad. Must get more frugal though!!!

    Has not been a good few days either MSE or training wise! Was supposed to train this morning but been waking up at stupid o click then unable to get back to sleep so just couldn't face it

    Am knackered today - work v stressful ATM

    So have had a relaxing shower and washed face and covered it with Nivea creme (the magazines reckon it's just as good as eve lom or creme de la mare!) and am going to have a very early night with the idea of getting up at 6am tomorrow to do davina fit work out as have to be at work by 8 as very busy day tomorrow!

    MFN and I are now planning a couple of holidays (with the little one) for later in the year which is cool but I really must get myself in shape!!! I need to get my motivation back!!!

    2 weeks until we get paid and I have £13 in the bank - eek! I am so crap at budgeting. Every month I go over without fail. I just cannot seem to stick to a budget

    Must also motivate self to exercise again - was#lazycow this morning as stayed in bed for an extra hour rather than getting up and working out!

    Went for dinner with GBM tonight rather than a run so spent cash, drank and ate too much and now knackered - when will I learn?!
