Well, at this point there are seven coming along to the Valentines dinner. I realised we won't all fit round my little table, so I'm going to lay out the food and everyone can help themselves and we'll just sit around in my lounge and eat. I'm going to keep it simple and do a huge lasagne with jacket potatoes, salad and garlic bread. Dessert is going to be a maple and pecan cheesecake.

I bought some red heart tea light candles, and a bunch of red roses for the table, plus everyone is going to get a Valentines card. TBH, I'm 'daring greatly' here. I always relied on the support of H to host things and I'm not used to going it alone. Hopefully all will go well and you are all invited of course! RD your gift of a spa treat day is in the post already.

Sent a quick email to my L today. Generally I just leave her to it, but it's been two weeks since I sent her my settlement proposal & I'm not sure if she's done anything with it. Otherwise, all is well - busy at work and out with a couple of friends last night.

Take care all xx
