first proper weekly weigh in of the year and have lost 6 of the 8 lbs i put on since november.  Splendid.  A fine start.  will take this opportune moment to remind you all that it is possible to sponsor my downsizing at www.justgiving.com/jillblair

Blatant but effective I hope.  So lynnie has just been round and we realised we were sitting on the sofa talking about boys like a couple of schoolgirls!  Mental, but fun!  We do have smashing girly chats!  Wish I would stop having big crushes on people I know I can't get heavily involved with.  I tend to hone in on guys who are a)married, b)involved with someone else, c)gay or d)miles away (yes, or even e) all of the above....).  And i know fine I only do it because then I tell myself it can't happen, give myself a shake, never tell them how i feel then get over it til the next one comes along.  Brilliant heartbreak avoidance technique but not psychologically very healthy!  At the moment I am putting myself through double torture via 1 who is a b) and 1 who is a d).  excellent!  But needless to say once my studies start again I will channel my thinking time into that and my head and heart might hurt a little less

Sigh...... anyway, onwards and upwards.  What a bloody miserable day today!  Grey and pouring down all day.  Was in a child protection training course til 2pm so once i got back from lunch at 3 it was a nice short afternoon.  Alister stopped his recent bedtime nonsense and was asleep by 7.20pm god love him.

Day off tomorrow.  Should get my new laptop and portable dvd player then too.  Al is in nursery from 12.30 - 3 and I ahve to enrol him at school!  I know he really needs school now, he is so bored at nursery but it seems very real now I have to do this! 

Right, off for an early night. Since Ally had an early one he will probably be up early-ish tomorrow.  After all, there's a whole lot of singing to be done!

Love ya
Jill
