Problem with me is I'm fine at work (polishes halo in smug fashion) then I get home and the kids have left their lunchbox stuff up in their bedroom where I happen to be sometimes and the rest, as they say, is history.
I'm the opposite - at work there's constantly cakes bought for some occasion or other and chocs gallore. At home it seems easier and the people are less annoying.:DMortgage OP 2025 £6750/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

There is always chocolate around in this house though, I have 2 teenage boys who are chocolate dependent:rotfl:
There's chocolate here too but once you resist for a few days it's so much easier. or is there nothing you don't like - I HATE twix.Mortgage OP 2025 £6750/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

So are you giving me permission to eat the rest of the Bounty bar and the Kettle crisps? It might make you feel better if I do as you wont feel like you are alone then. I am willing to make the sacrifice for a friend:A"I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250

Im not that keen on most of the standard chocolate bars really. I would only go for a bounty/turkish delight/maltesers. BUT at the moment I could eat pretty much anything with chocolate on it (within reason):DBut these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -
:rotfl: You are SO kind!
Hey dont mention it:cool: thats what friends are for:D
I could even push it to a couple of glasses of vin rouge if you think it would make you feel better. then you could feel all superior knowing you had been less naughty than me:DBut these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -
Hey all!
Well, OH and I decided to get a pizza tonight and tell the kids about 'The split' (although I did have visions of my kids never eating pizza again a la Chandler in Friends and Thanks Giving Dinner) However, I digress...
Starting eating and then said 'Joe, Freya, Mom and Dad have something to talk to you about' etc etc blah blah blah...
And well, the little bleeders think it's GREAT! 2 houses? FAB! 2 bedrooms? AMAZING! Mom in new place, Dad at home? BRILL!!!
Freya was MOST pleased she's getting school lunches as well, lol
As I said to Snags, I'd like to think it's because we have weell adjusted kids but really I think it's because they don't really understand. Im so happy and feel even better that this is the correct thing to do.
Whew.
However, won't be able to go to Glasgow meet now-I have a training course for MFI the 2 days before in Stevenage and I think that'd be taking the michael if I then went and spent the weekend away...ah well.Empty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that -Peale0 -
bunny glad it all went well have been thinking about you ...shame you wont make the glasgow meet though ...i wanted to meet you as well0
