My first step out of Newcomers

[Can it work]

You're probably right about personal goals Davidswife. I do have a few already. I want to lose another 8lbs by my birthday at the beginning of April. I'm half way through my first assignment on my writing course so I intend to have that finished over the next few days. It's keeping my mind occupied.

I went down to W's parents tonight to see Wee Man and get a much-needed cuddle. It was great to see him again. Obviously my W was there too and being as monosyllabic as ever. I did try to make conversation and kept a positive outlook but she just didn't seem interested in engaging. The difference is that tonight it didn't get to me as much this time. I had really good, fun talks with my IL's though so that made up for it. My W just sat with a face like thunder and looked on. Still, I'm not going to let it get me down. I've been to the gym tonight so I got my endorphins pumping and feel even better. I've been grocery shopping too which I really couldn't be bothered with but I needed to get supplies for Wee Man coming to stay tomorrow night. We're going to have a great time.

I have to replace my TV when my W takes our one. I'm in my element when shopping for gadgets I have to admit. I'm looking forward to the challenge of finding something special to entertain my eyes. Think I'll go looking on Saturday in a few of the local electrical shops. I've also decided to buy myself a new outfit for Saturday night to compliment my weight loss. Might even stretch to a new bottle of after shave (cologne) so I can smell a little better too. Many years ago I remember loving the smell of Carolina Herrera 212 so I'll see if I can find a bottle of that. I was wondering if all you ladies had any alternative ideas about what smells good on a guy? Not sure if you get the same brands in the States as we get here but there's bound to be some similarities.

I'm glad you found my new thread Peace. I've been feeling a bit lost being away from Newcomers. I didn't think it was fair to remain on there though when I feel as if I've already been through so much good advice on here.

Anyhoo, after the gym I was feeling so manly and pumped that I came home and did the ironing. In my defence though, I did it while watching 'The Wrestler'. It's still on but I'm not over impressed to be honest. Mickey Rourke is good but I'm just finding the storyline a bit depressing. Not separation depression but not a happy movie. Need to watch more immature comedies.
