This is my life

Jeez, it seems like aeons since last I wrote...
I don't really have a lot of time to catch up so I'll be brief.
5 Day Diet is going very well. Until this week, when I've had a major eat-a-thon. Don't feel too bad about that though because I've got the munchies ou of my system and I'll be back to dieting tomorrow (well, today I'm seeing someone I haven't seen in ages so the drink will be flowing!)
The twins are pretty much great all the time. We've got through the major hurdle of the first few months where the only time they stopped screaming was to breathe in. Now they are proper little people who react to things. Things are good.
And that's it for now. Will start posting more, I promise.
Bye bye.

Nothing to see here really. Met girl One for a coffee in the Big City the other day. I have to say that (reality check!) nothing is ever likely to happen here. I like her a lot but I know it's just infatuation and/or lust. Nothing serious. I do like her a lot as a friend as well. It just helps that she's so damned cute!
The twins have been just great recently. They still have their moments, but by and large they are, well, great.
The toddler is a bit of a handful though, but I'm just putting that down to the fact that it's the school holidays. And the last couple of days have been very, very wet, and he's an outdoor kid so that isn't so great when we're banished to the house. Wellies and puddles always work well though!
What of my family? Well, although they've been invading my thoughts almost constantly of late, I've decided to leave it alone. My Mam deserves any kind of loneliness that will ultimately descend upon her; my Dad is hurtling through a midlife crises at such a rate that it's bound to go tits up at an alarming rate in the near future; my brother was always his own favourite person, so he'll be quite happy living in his own head without any interference from me (and Christ knows, if I ever bumped into him I wouldn't know how I would stop my fists from doing the talking); and my sister is just a mini version of my Mam, so... she deserves everything that comes her way too.
In a nutshell: I've endured a helluva lot of hurt that's only got worse since my Mam decided to contact me (for whatever selfish reason she picked out of the hat) so I'm going to distance myself. I don't want the hurt so I will keep it at a minimum by keeping away from the lot of them. Familes, eh, who needs 'em!?
And that is that for now. Tomorrow I might pop back on to give you an update on the 5 Day Diet. I need to remain the same to hit my end of July target. So, if I stay 14'9 or even lose, I'll be shouting from the rooftops. If I gain weight, expect to see me somewhere down the local drinking hole, or the nearest cake shop!
Bye bye.

Well, the title says it all: this is fast becomming a weight-loss blog! Today was weigh-in day and I shed an other 2lbs. This brings me down to 14stone 9lbs. Which still means I'm a fatty but just not as fatty as I was. Still a long way to go, but now that I've started I should be okay. And 14'9 was my target for the end of July, so, as long as I don't start going mad, I should - should! - stay on target ("Stay on target!" [Star Wars reference]) for the end of the month.
Wish me luck!
Other things. Well, the twins. Things have been pretty good for a while now. We've all been getting along fine - including the toddler, who I've been making a special effort for (I was worrying about spending too much time with the twins and not enough with the toddler). It's no secret (if you've been reading my blog) that there were days when I could have walked (ran?) away and never looked back. Never would have, but the temptation was a common one. But today was a particularly good day. Sometimes all you have to do is see a baby smile. It's even better when the baby is your own. And it's better still when there are two of them. But it truly is the best when they're both smiling... and they're smiling because of you (you being me, obviously). Of course, they've been smiling for ages now, but today has been something of a smiley day all round. And that sort of day can get you through the worst of days.
(Sits back and smiles whilst taking a long slug of ice cold beer that he has awarded himself for doing well on his diet. And all that whilst typing with his other hand!)
Life is pretty good. Mind you, the school holidays have really only just begun!
Bye bye.

A little too drunk to write too much, but thought I would let you all know the results of the 5 Day Diet.... another 3 pounds down! Yes! Who's the man?!!
Bye bye.
