WTF

I saw a boy I once knew at the local carvery restaurant at the weekend as I was ordering an extra large plate of meat and sausages, piled high with 2 Yorkshire puddings and loads of spuds and veg. I have not seen this guy since the mid 90s. He looks absolutely fab and the years have been very kind to him. Me, on the other hand has jelly belly wobbles, a big spot on my face and I was about to gorge myself in a mountain of food fit for King Henry 8th.  He didn't see that I gave away the yorkshires (yuk) and that left a hefty pile of food on my plate. Yes, my eyes were bigger than my very large belly. This has kick started my diet once gain so if I bump into Mr Dove again, I will not look like such a middle aged Hefferlump.

The countdown is on now for Mad Lisa's hen night but I have only four days left to look slim and foxy. I had better get to M&S for a panty girdle.  I am now very much looking forward to going away and I think Ben and Charlotte will be just fine without me.

I have had a fun week. I've been ranting on Facebook about "Dad's Only" mornings at one of the playgroups in Epsom.  I would have loved to watched Charlotte at football training, but felt sorry that some of the kiddies couldn't play fooite that day due to absent Fathers,. That makes me feel sad. When I asked the Centre if little Albie and Little Zaki could attend the football with their Mums, I was told to find a Grandad or Uncle. GGGRRRR.

Work was brilliant.  I am flying high in the competition to be taken to the Grand Prix, but there's still another month or so to go, so time for it all to fall part for me and its pretty tight. We work hard in the office and have little banter as the priority is to make placements but we did reminisce about my colleague Jackie's appearance on Crack-O-Jack in 1977. Young Ashleigh had not even heard of it, well she has a good excuse as was not born until '88. "Its Friday, its five past five.....". Number 1 at the time was Boogie Nights by Heatwave. God that makes me feel old (sorry God). Especially as Englebert Humperdink or whatever the old codger is called was also in the charts.  Enough said.
