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.
