Royal Opera? Maybe The Fat Lady Needs A "Cookie" Before She Sings!!

Monday 21st April (Week 6, Day 36)

I dreamt, one of my long, epic dreams, that seemed to go on for hours, but which I can't recall all the details of. But there were the usual themes, friends, moving home, acting, working in retail, unattainable love, from my dream love interest, lots of animals, being abroad & critics. I lazed in bed, until 10am, then had a shower. I got on my scales, my lax week hasn't done much damage, I'm still 9lb lighter than when I started 'The Cookie Diet' 5-6 weeks ago!

I had a coffee & two Maple breakfast Cookies, at 10.30am, as I got dressed. I did a bit of dusting & gardening, before the weather got overcast & cold. I had a snack Cookie, with some mineral water. At 12.30pm, I was changing to go to the gym, and as I did, I spotted that the 'On The Busses' film was on TV, so I decided to watch that first, as I'd not seen that in decades. It finished at 2pm & I was just packing my gym bag, before popping to the shop downstairs, when Cagla, from the shop downstairs, called me, on my mobile. 

She told me, that she had a male customer, who was leaving St Albans, but had mentioned me, a few times in conversation. She said he was "Really good looking & successful, traveling abroad a lot on business, and a real character & lovely to talk to" She said he'd come in & was talking about moving, then went all shy, and mentioned me, asking if I was single? Cagla said she wasn't 100% sure! but she thought I was. 

Apparently he said "How the hell is she single??" & Cagla said she replied "Junes a pretty girl, but she's also very intelligent & intelligent girls, always get left on the shelf, so end up staying single!" So apparently, he left his mobile number, with her, just incase, it turned out 'I was single!' (Waits for GLP, to now slag me off, for being 'vain & self obsessed', just for writing, what has actually, happened in my day & posting the info, given to me, second hand!) So I popped down to the shop, as I was about to do so anyway, to get a paper & a few diet cokes. 

Cagla said my admirer "Paul" was "very good looking" (Again!!) he was blonde, with his hair in a ponytail, working in something, in the media. She said he was a real character, and a lovely guy. She said, that he'd stood behind me once, when I was in the shop one time, and he asked her about me & she'd said to him, what I did & he gave her, a name of a website, to put my CV on, to get me more work. But she forgot & lost the bit of paper. He'd later asked if she'd passed it on & she lied & said she had. 

She said he looked really embarrassed, when he was asking her, if I was single. She gave me his mobile number. She'd rewrote it out, as she said, that his hands, were shaking so much, when he wrote it, that it wasn't very legible (Blimey, am I really that scary??) So I went home with my newspaper, and put the cans of coke, in my rucksack, and Paul's number in my mobile phone. I'm not looking, for a new man, in my life. But as I walked to the gym, curiosity got the better of me (Or maybe, Cagla, regularly repeating "very good looking!!" May of helped, peak that curiosity, more lol) 

So I text "Hello Paul I hear I have an admirer!?" (Short & to the point!!) he replied "Hello June! Hehehehe, you do ;) how are you all good I hope?" I replied "Not bad ta on the way to the gym" He replied "Oh good stuff, I need to go back to the gym myself. Do you go to Fitness First?" I said that I did & after a bit more chit chat, he asked me, if I'd like to meet up, in the near future? I replied "Well I have to admit I'm curious (I'm worse than a cat curiosity wise)" He replied "Lol well I'm sure you've seen me about, because my local off-licence is the same as yours (I think) Also, I think you may have caught me trying to catch your eye on Friday - I was sitting in the cafe (on the corner) & I think you were off to the gym then!" 

Hmmm..... I did go to the gym that day, which cafe on the corner? The one called 'Cafe On The Corner?' If so, I've no idea, as I'm blind as a bat, without my lenses. I saw a few blokes, sat outside 'Cafe Roma' but as he said "IN" I'm assuming, it's the former!! In which case, I haven't got a clue!!!?? I really don't, walk around, clocking potential, single guys!! Anyway it's brains, humour & personality, that captures my attention, and you can't clock that, in a glance. So I'm pretty sure, I haven't seen/noticed him about, even if he is 'Super Hot' even on a day, I had my lenses in!! 

We had a bit, of phone text banter, on my way to the gym, his banter is good (A few brownie points gained) So I'm guessing, he's a fellow air sign (Aquarius, Libra or a fellow Gemini) or possibly a fire sign (Leo, Aries or Sagittarius) But much more likely the former, most probably an Aquarian, going by, his quick Wit. I got to the gym & I had a vending cappuccino & decanted the diet cokes, into my gym drinking bottle. Before doing a set of Powerplate exercises, then 10 sets, of 10, on 40kg, on the hip adductor & the same on the hip abductor. 

Then some more exercises, on the powerplate, then 30mins, on the bike, on random setting, level 15, then 15mins on the cross trainer, on the same settings. Finishing off, with 10 sets of 10 squats, with the Swiss ball. Then I headed home, getting a Costa, soya cappuccino, en route. I got home & had a small seafood paella, followed by some salted cashews, for dinner at 770cals. 70 over, the top end, if evening meal scale. But I've more than worked off those 70 cals, in the gym. 


Paul started texting again, just as one of my fave shows, with a very complex plot (Revenge) came on!! Bad timing!!! I kept dropping hints I was trying to follow the 'Revenge' plot, but he still kept texting (A few of those, former brownie points, lost) During those texts though, I did glean a bit more about him, he's 5ft 7-8" (So short) and has shoulder length, blonde hair, tied back, plus a beard. NOPE, I can honestly say, I have definitely, NOT SEEN, a 'Very Good Looking' short, blonde guy, with a beard, around town, 100% sure!!! He seems a really nice guy though (Even if he can't seem to get, a few hints, not to text me, during Revenge) but from his description, I find it highly unlikely, I'd have any interest in him, other than making a new friend maybe, which is fine, as I'm not actively looking, for a new man, in my life. 


I'm not into beards & prefer a taller guy, than myself, when it comes to relationships, you'd have to be pretty special for me to ignore both of those things. We agreed to meet up at 'The Peahen' at 7pm, as tomorrow, is the only evening I'm free, before he moves out of the area. We seem to have a lot of films, TV shows & interests in common, which makes me more inclined to think, he's definitely an Aquarian, though I haven't asked, maybe I will tomorrow. Which is good if he is, as I have never met, an Aquarian, that I didn't like & they are always interesting, characters & Cagla said he was a "Character" so we will see, I had the last of my snack Cookies with some mineral water & went to bed around 1am.

Tuesday 22nd April (Week 6, Day 37) 

I woke at 9am, I can't wear any contact lenses now, until after my pre laser eye surgery, eye examination. It's very dark & gloomy out today, I had two cinnamon Cookies for breakfast at 9.30am after my morning wash, with a coffee to wash them down. To be honest, I'm so bored, of the repetitiveness, of the 3 sweet/sweetish Cookie flavours, especially when my tooth is savoury & NOT sweet!! They should have, some savoury flavoured Cookies, Garlic & Herb, Cheese & Tomato, Cheese & Pickle etc etc. At least with 'Slimfast', you have a choice of flavours, in shakes, soups & bars, same with the 'Cambridge Diet', even with 'The Atkins Diet' products, there is more of a variety, than just 3 flavours, in just one format!!!! Yawnsville!!! 

You can vary your one meal, yes, but the monotony of the same old, same old, the rest of the day (Especially when I don't have a sweet tooth & when, I don't, normally, buy biscuits, or Cookies, unless for guests, occasionally) is getting beyond boring!!!... Maybe Americans are cookie & sweets crazy..... I'm not!!! I dressed in my neon peach undies, grey jodhpur look leggings, grey v-necked, t-shirt, with my white, Reebok, Easytone, trainers. I had another snack Cookie at 11.30am with another coffee & popped out to my letting agent, to pay my rent, then to the post office, to post Simon, his iPhone charger lead, he left at mine the other week. 

Then I bought a Sun newspaper & when to the gym, from 12.30pm until 1.30pm doing 30mins on the bike, 15mins on the stepper & 15mins doing exercises on the powerplate. I had another snack Cookie at 1.30pm, with a vending machine cappuccino from the gym. Then I went to 'Beauty Secret' & had a 'Bailine' session on my thighs & love handles at 2pm. I had a black coffee & chat with Yalda after, she said I looked very brown, I said that was probably due, to the neon undies, then around 3.15pm I went to get my nails manicured & painted, the same as before (for continuity) having two lunch Cookies at 3.30pm, as my nails were being done. 

On the way home, around 4.45pm, I had a look around Reiss, a few nice bits but nothing outstanding!! I got home at around 5.30pm, and had a shower, as I was meeting my admirer Paul, in 'The Peahen' at 7pm. I decided to wear a dress, as I've been in jeans a lot lately, so wore my grey/white/black leopard print one (below) with black heels.



I washed & dried hair & pulled it back, with a straight, faux, ponytail, hairpiece. Did my make-up, then pulled on my khaki, leather, trench coat & grabbed my Versace umbrella, as it looked, set to pour down, any moment & I set off, to 'The Peahen' at 6.45pm. Paul text me asking what I wanted to drink, just as I was across the road, from the bar. I said "A vodka & slimline, with a slice of lime, please, thank you!" I spotted Paul straight away, despite being blind as a bat, without my lenses, thanks to him texting me, what he was wearing & where he was sat. 

Paul was a nice guy, really chatty & loads in common & interesting too, and as I expected, he WAS an Aquarian. But unlike, with most Aquarians, I felt no chemistry at all, so even if I was looking for a new man, it would still of been a no to romance. Paul had a nice, friendly, smiley face, but unlike Cagla I'd not describe him as "VERY GOOD LOOKING". Not that looks are everything, brains, personality & humour is more important, and he certainly wasn't unattractive, there just wasn't any spark. 

Maybe the fact he was obviously nervous, and because he also apologised, unnecessarily a lot, it dampened any chance of a spark. I have no problem, dating a guy lacking in confidence, as long as he can put on a good front! We liked a lot of the same bands, TV shows & films, he wasn't in the media, he's in IT & does some IT work for media company's. Hungry as I'd not had dinner, I had a grilled veg & Haloumi sandwich (No idea of cals, but must be under 700) & he had the same, another thing in common, we both love Haloumi. We chatted until around 11pm, I had 3 vodka Slimline's in total, during that time, then he walked me back home, as he lives just across the road. Then it was back home & get some rest for my audition tomorrow. I had a decaf coffee, with the last of my Cookies, before hitting the sack!!

Wednesday 23rd April (Week 6, Day 38) 

I woke at 8am & jumped in the shower, I have an audition with the Royal Opera, at 'The Royal Opera House', today, at 5pm. So I went to the gym early, and did my usual routine, having a coffee & two chocolate Cookies, for breakfast at 9am, before I set off. Then my snack Cookie at 11am, in the gym. I got home at 1pm, and had my other snack Cookie, with a decaf diet coke. Then I jumped into the shower, for the 2nd time today, then changed into my audition outfit. Which consisted of, my grey, jodhpur look, leggings, a white vest top, and a navy, tie front, dance top (below) plus my white Reebok trainers, as my agent said, to wear something, comfortable to move in, as there will be some improv, within the audition. 



I had two chocolate Cookies for lunch at 3pm. I tied hair back & added a straight faux ponytail. Just after that one of my agents, said I wasn't needed for the 3rd day of filming on the drama series, as I've been heavily featured on the 1st two days. I shoved my cookies & essentials in my bag, and pulled on my metallic blue, Betty Barclay, puffa jacket, and headed out to the station. 

I got the train to Kings Cross texting a few close friends, saying to keep their fingers crossed for me & once at Kings Cross, I got the tube to Covent Garden & went in the stage door, to wait to audition. I was up against, 43 other women, for the role, many of whom, were dressed in character, for the part, unlike myself. I had my evening snack Cookie at 5pm. Then we were ushered into our audition. There were 4 people watching our audition & we finished at 6.50pm. So how did I do? Well I'll keep you guessing for now. 


Tired I headed back to Kings Cross, and got a tuna melt, panini from 'Starbucks', plus a large, decaf, soya, cappuccino, which I had with a pack of cashews, to give me an energy boost (794 cals, 94 over, but I've done lots of walking, dancing & exercise today!!) I checked my Facebook & Twitter for messages, while on the train home. No good luck, texts today, from my brother or sister, who I'd told, that I was auditioning at the 'Royal Opera' today, not sure they have any faith, that I have any chance, with such a big audition. Watched TV & had my two snack cookies, as I did, before going to bed. 

Thursday 24th April (Week 6, Day 39)

I woke, with a massive migraine, at 10am, it was really bad, I took some migraine pain killers, then eventually, went back to sleep until 1pm, when I woke feeling a bit better, but still with a migraine hangover. Just as well I don't have to film today after all!! Not sure if it's down to the stormy weather? The tension of yesterday's audition? Or built up stress in general?? I put on some sunglasses & checked my emails, Facebook, and Twitter I had lots of messages from my SA pals still working on the drama series today, saying where was I? And that they really missed me & filming wasn't the same, without me being there!! Which was very, very, sweet, of them all, I was really touched at their sincerity! 

I had 3 maple Cookies for breakfast at 1.30pm with a decaf coffee. Then had a shower & changed into my turquoise jeans, gladiator sandals, plus white vest & yesterdays navy rehearsal top (washed & dryed) then I popped to the shops, in my Betty Barclay, puffa jacket, still wearing my sunglasses, as my eyes were still sensitive, from my migraine.



Shopping done, I popped into J.K Palmers for a tuna melt, jacket potato, for lunch, at 3.30pm to send my migraine, hangover, packing!! Very tasty it was too & excellent service as always. 537 cals, near the lower end of meals. Then it was back home (Getting a soya cappuccino en route) & a bit of housework & laundry. At 5.30pm I had 3 maple Cookies for dinner. I watched 'Millionaire Matchmaker' which had the gay son & heir of the founder of 'The Cookie Diet' on it, what a vile, cold, unattractive, little queen he was!! Then I watched 'Home & Away' & 'Dinner Date' I had my last 3 maple cookies, at 7.30pm, when I was still shattered & wiped out, due to this mornings, migraine. By 9pm I was shattered & went to bed.

Friday 25th April (Week 6, Day 40)

I had an odd dream, where one of my agents, was trying to convince me, to make a porn film, with some model guy, with a huge penis, and I was fuming & having none of it!! And I woke up laughing & thinking "What the bloody hell was that all about???" Today is yet another bleak, grey, dismal, day!! A contrast to last weeks sunshine!! I had a cup of coffee & two cinnamon Cookies at 9am, I had a bath & wore a red, 'La Sensa' underwear set, under my dark skinny jeans & grey tiger print, t-shirt. 

I had my snack cookies at 11am & 1pm. I popped to the shop, and got a newspaper & caught up with the news. Then did some laundry before having a snack cookie at 3pm & heading to Beauty Secret, for a 'Bailine' session, on my torso. Yalda said, that she liked my underwear set. I played Heart radio on my iPad mini, during my session, then some 'Tarkan & Despina Vandi' & Yalda & Raha came in & laughed, that I was jiggling to the music, while laid down, being zapped. They said that I gave them energy, with my energy. I had a black coffee & chat with Yalda after, as the lovely Raha, had already gone home.



After that, hungry, I popped to J.K Palmers again, for another tuna melt jacket potato & cappuccino 514 cals. As I craved cheese & savoury things, at the moment, as I'm so sick of the sweetness of the Cookies. They really need to introduce, some savoury options, for the UK, if cookies are the sole product if this diet!! The best are the Maple ones (above) but I'm getting sick of their sweetness, the chocolate ones, are like chocolate brownies, but I've never been a fan of, or bought chocolate brownies, and the cinnamon ones are blahhh OK. But I crave salty, savoury flavours on this diet, more than ever, even pastry items, which I normally don't buy!! 

Also I'm sick of thinking of food & time... Is it 2hrs yet?  Is it another 2hrs? is it time to eat real food next? I've never thought as much about food, as I have on this diet! Normally I never give food a second thought, until I get peckish/hungry!! Now I'm thinking about it every two soddin hours!! I went home & watched 'Home & Away' & 'Dinner Date' having my snack Cookie at 7pm. I did a bit of job/audition searching online & some blogging. I watched 'Agents of SHIELD' & had my 2 dinner Cookies at 9pm, with a coffee. I saw an old flame on TV, while watching BBC1, 16yrs on he hasn't changed at all, personality wise, just got some grey, in his hair, nice guy. I had my last snack Cookie at 11pm & went to bed, as I have to be in London, to help out a friend, by being a gangland bitch, posing as a police woman, in his trailer taster, for a independent film, he's making. 

Saturday 26th April (Week 6, Day 41)

I still couldn't sleep & didn't fall asleep, until after 6am & woke, when the alarm went off at 7am. Damn!! I had a bath & forced down 2 brownie Cookies, with a coffee, they are getting so boring & hard to face. I'd love a delivery of new flavours (Preferably savoury) to arrive!! I dried my hair & did it in a ponytail & had natural makeup, to go with my French manicure nails (below) to look policewoman like, even though, I'm fake fuzz, in it! I pulled on my dark blue, skinny jeans, and electric blue, t-shirt, plus my white trainers. 



Then grabbed my black studded shopper & puffa jacket & headed to the train station at 9.30am, buying a newspaper en route. I got off at Farringdon & got the Circle Line, to Liverpool Street, then the Central line, to Gants Hill. I met my partner in crime, Sarah Dorcette, outside The Valentine Pub, at 11.30am & we waited for our lift, to the house, our scene was being shot at. There were a few men I knew, playing gangsters & hoods, already there. 

Sarah & I went upstairs to change into our faux police woman attire. The white shirt was fine, as was the reflective jacket, but the black trousers, were a 44" waist!!! Errrr my hips are 39" my waist  29" so they had to be gaffer taped at the back then a belt put on. As I could step into them, and pull them up, when they were done up & if I let go, they fell to the floor. Then a belt & handcuffs were added. 

We only had a short scene to do, the female victim, opening the door to us, thinking we are police & an interior scene, menacing & chloroforming the victim. So we sat in the lounge until it was our time to shoot. We did our two scenes in a matter of minutes & then we had lunch. Lunch was two, tuna salad, sandwiches (no mayo) vinegar & sea salt crisps & an alcohol free, Becks (blue) beer 728 cals. Then we got changed, and were told we could keep our entire uniform, to thank us for our time, which was nice of Angus. The lead actors asked if we'd be back again soon, as they really liked Sarah & I, and said we brought life to the set. The lead female (our victim) said we were so convincingly menacing (below) she was both scared, and yet wanted to laugh, at the same time.



We were given a lift, by an Indian guy, connected to the film, he took me to Kings Cross & then continued on to Swiss Cottage, where Sarah had an audition. I got a Starbucks soya cappuccino & got the train back home. Once home I changed into my gym gear & did my usual session in the gym, plus some palates. 

I went home & watched 'Britains Got Talent' then had two chocolate brownie cookies, for dinner with a diet decaf coke. Then I watched 'Amazing Greys' as I'd been asked by production, if I'd like to go on it? So I was keen to see if I'd missed out?? I hadn't, what a borefest, the biggest challenge of the show, was the viewers not turning over, I'd imagine!! Then I watched 'NCIS' on +1 before going to bed, shattered due to only 1hr or less sleep last night. I only had 6 Cookies today, couldn't face the other 3... Bored of them!! 

Sunday 27th April (Week 6, Day 42)

I woke at 10am, due to a noisy hairdressers downstairs. I had a crazy dream, where I was at a society do, connected to work. I had my own personal stylist/dresser, who said they were going to dye my fringe a different colour & add hairpieces/extensions, I was curious as to how it was going to look, and whether she would bleach my fringe white, dye it brown or black or a colour, such as pink, blue or red? Or if the hairpieces/extensions would be blonde or coloured too? 

My costume was made in pink & white gingham, but it can't recall how it looked, now on writing this. The event was soon to beguin & I couldn't find my stylist, to do my hair & I was running round in circles, trying to find her. I woke while I was still searching for her, so I never got to see this hair creation. Don't know what that dream was all about, maybe I had my theatre performance on my mind, or maybe the noisy hairdressers, encroached my dream!!?? 


I ran a bath & jumped it once it filled at 11am. Then dry brushed & moisturised myself, before slipping on, my white underwear, diamanté trimmed, skinny jeans & long sleeved, grey, v-necked, t-shirt & black, gladiator sandals. I grabbed, my metallic blue, Betty Barclay, puffa jacket & black studded shopper & bought a Sunday paper, en route, to J K Palmers. Once there I had a all day breakfast for brunch, washed down with a cappuccino (701cals) as I have discovered, that I stay less hungry, on this "Cookie Diet" if I eat breakfast, or lunch, as my main meal. 


The veggie breakfasts, with Haloumi, are scrumptious & all my male friends, would enjoy, the huge, full English breakfasts, as much as Simon does. It felt odd, having Sunday breakfast, in J K Palmers, without him. I read some of my newspaper, as I finished my cappuccino & then paid & left. On the way home I called into a boutique I'd not noticed before called "Cheska" it had some lovely classic, ladies that lunch, pieces in there. But they also had fussy, frumpy, gaudy stuff, that I could only imagine a fat public school, governess wearing!! Not as nice as "Husen Moda" on Friday!! 


I bought a Costa, soya, cappuccino, en route home, then once I got home & I watched, the online film "Super Juice Me" by the juice master, Jason Vale (Who really reminds me, of my friend, Ian Port) I'd love to go, on a 2 or 4 week, juicing holiday, at his juicing retreat in Portugal. To really kick start, my return to health. Thirsty, I had a cranberry & blackcurrant juice, blended with ice in a blender. I wasn't hungry until around 8pm, when I had a diet coke & 2 Chocolate Cookies for dinner. (My 1st Cookies of the day!) While watching the film "Fast Girls" I had another two, at 10pm & another three, at midnight, with more ice blended juice. Then I did some audition applications & job applications until 2am. Then it was lights out!! So 7 cookies today couldn't face the last 2, I'm bored of the same 3 flavours week after week!!

Rock Chick, Not Rock Cake!!!

Monday 7th April (Week 4, Day 22) Day In London

I got up at 10am, after treating myself to a lie in, and had two chocolate breakfast Cookies, with a coffee. Today I was off to London, to fill in some paperwork & have a small shoot, with a top UK model agency. I should have joined them 20-30yrs ago!! I was going to be photographed looking like a Rock Chick, I had on, shiny black Lycra trousers, a black vest top with chains hanging off it, chain earrings, studded bangles, a spiky necklace, pointed ankle boots, with cut outs & a fake, straight hairpiece, clipped into my straightened hair. I had a chocolate snack Cookie at midday & pulled on my long khaki leather coat & shoved my Cookies & a few bits in my leopard print tote bag, then headed for the station, grabbing my Versace umbrella, as it was raining out (When isn't it??) Annoyingly, it was that fine, misty, rain, and it was windy too, so it was all still getting blown, under my umbrella & making my hair wet!!! So with my hair being naturally curly, my hair started to curl, but of course the hairpiece didn't!!! Grrrrrrr!!! So now my hair was a shaggy mix of straight & curly, which I guess could pass as, rock chick messy!! 

I got the train to London & then the tube, heading in the Hammersmith direction, as the agency, is by the old BBC building. I had another snack Cookie at 2pm, once at the agents, I filled in all the forms & then I was photographed, against a backdrop, as a flirty, groupie, rock chick, then as an, angry rock chick, which was fun. After that I headed off to see my good friend Nat, in Walthemstow, who was a bit housebound, after having an op recently. Having my two lunch Cookies, at 4pm en route. I had a coffee at Nat's & another snack Cookie at 6pm. The news came on the TV, and we heard that Peaches Geldof  had died, this afternoon. She was found dead, at home, with her child, she was aged just 25yrs!! Oddly the last time I saw Peaches in person, was when I was on her short lived OMG!! Chat Show, as a cougar, and I was wearing, the exact same, chained vest top (Below, Peaches in spotted dress) on the show, as I was now, sat on the couch, watching the news, after the Rock Chick shoot!! Sad, she was a sweet, friendly girl, she ran around, and got me a glass of wine personally, the day we shot OMG with both Peaches & Janice Dickinson (Crazy but equally lovely) I'd like to say Peaches death was a shock, but sadly it wasn't. For a while I said she was a "Dead Girl Walking" as she was painfully thin lately, I didn't know if it was down to drugs, diet pills, illness or looking after her kids, while neglecting herself??? But it was obvious her weight had dropped well below a healthy one & was dangerous!! If I could see this, why couldn't the supposed support network of, friends, family, husband & work colleagues??? So sad & so unnecessary. 



Nat's husband, Terry came home & we went out for a bite to eat at 7pm (Fab, as I was now ravenous!!!) we went to Le Delice, 114 Hoe Street, Walthemstow (There is a joke in there somewhere!!) I had either the #2 or #4 pizza (Gorgonzola & Chilies) which was VERY TASTY!! Plus a cappuccino. My friend Renny, was texting me, as we ate, suggesting we meet up before I head back to Hertfordshire again, so we arranged to meet at Kings Cross station, as I'd be heading there after leaving Nat & Terry. I had a chat & gossip with the boys & talked about my laser eye surgery in May!!!! I can't wait, it will be life changing, to no longer be 50% blind!!!! Nat said I could probably stay at theirs, the day of the op, before heading back to Harley Street the next day, for my post op check up. I left Le Delice, and said goodbye to Nat & Terry at 8pm & got the Victoria line to Kings Cross. I got there at 8.36pm & headed to Costa & got a large Cappuccino, while I waited for Renny, who said he'd get there around 9pm. He'd been busy earlier, putting together a CD, of acoustic covers, sung by him. I first met Renny about 3-4yrs ago, while doing a pilot, of a show called "Is It Just Me" which sadly never got commissioned (It was a fun concept!!) when he was The Rock God & I was The Cougar and he was also on "Take Me Out" last year, or the one before (below) he didn't get a black out, thankfully & he came across really well!! 


Renny arrived pretty much bang on 9pm, and had brought me a copy of the CD he'd just done, which was sweet of him & we were laughing & catching up in Costa, before we then, headed off to Millers Pub oops!!... Renny & I were gassing away, ten to the dozen, it wasn't like we'd not met up, for a few years. I really like Renny, he is really funny & good fun, easy to talk to, down to earth, cheeky, talented & passionate about what he does, which really, is all the essential, qualities, a guy needs, plus he is a genuinely nice guy, and a cutie too, sometimes, the odd expression, or mannerism, he does, reminds me of my 'one true love' & for a 30yr old, like me, he is still a kid at heart. Renny was telling me about a musical, project, that he has been working on for the past 8yrs. Which is now, pretty much, fully formed & has legs, which he wants, to get me involved in. I absolutely loved the concept & he brought it all to life, as we sat there chatting, I could really get the feel of it & bounced a few ideas off him myself, which he liked. Time flew, and before we knew it it was midnight & he'd only get his last train, by the skin of his teeth, if we left. Which was a shame, as we both agreed, we could of happily spent, at least another four hours, or more talking. But maybe it was for the best, as I had an earlyish start & I'd now added, a pint if cider, and a couple of Vodka slimline's, to my diet consumption (Oops!!) 

We both continued chatting, via text, on our train journeys home. I text him, thanking him for a fun night, saying "Damn the trains, I could of happily carried on another 4-5hrs!!!" Renny made me laugh, when he text "I know, that was awesome!!! I know it WASN'T a date, but if it was, I would be feeling pretty fucking chuffed about that!! ;) ha ha x" I laughed as I had to agree & text back "Ha ha well if it had been a date, it would of been my best date in ages, too much fun x x" He replied that, that had put a big smile on his face & to let him know when St Albans was ready for a "Renny Visit" which made me laugh. Peckish I had my left over snack Cookies on the train & once home around 1-1.30am I put Renny's CD on, I liked it a lot, he has a good voice, and his project is fun, so I hope it takes off, I will certainly have a laugh, doing what he has me lined up for. I had a wash & got ready for bed & crashed around 2-2.30am. 

Tuesday 8th April (Week 4, Day 23)

The day started off earlyish, in Hatfield, where I had my two cinnamon breakfast Cookies, with a coffee at 9am. I forgot to weigh myself, after my meal out with the boys yesterday..... And a few bevvies with the Rock God, Renny.... Maybe just as well, maybe I'd of had a shocking setback, but back on track again today. I played Renny's acoustic CD again, this morning, I really like it, he's covered some good tunes, in his acoustic style, the only one I didn't know, was track 8. I had my snack Cinnamon Cookie at 11am & on bus home at 1pm. Renny was at the Xfactor open auditions in Romford today (to make his mum happy) he text me, that he didn't get through (I think he was relieved) just before 2pm. At 2pm I went into Beauty Secret, today I got 15mins on my arms, as well as my torso section.... It felt really funny, as you can feel you are being electrocuted, as you can feel, the fuzzy, electrocution in your hands, my phone flew out if my hand as I was trying to text Renny back. Your arms really shake, as your arms, are much lighter in weight, than your legs & torso!! I had to grip a rolled up towel, to stop them flying everywhere, it made me giggle.... No pain no gain!! The torso session below was a breeze!!



Renny & I text back & forth, as I had the Bailine treatment on my torso, I really like Renny, he's funny & passionate about what he does. I checked my emails, Facebook & Twitter on my mini iPad, as I listened to Heart Radio on it. Then after I had a black coffee, plus my two lunch Cookies at 3pm & chatted with the lovely Yalda. Then it was time I went home, so I tackled the laundry, rearranged my dressing room & bedroom draws (below) to also tackle my ever increasing, clothes, shoes & undies collection, as well as put away dry laundry!!... Listening to Renny's CD again, as I did so.... Singing along!!! Then I had a snack Cookie at 5pm, with a coffee, while watching "Millionaire Matchmaker" then it was back to the household chores, while listening to "Home & Away" At 7pm I had a grilled Tuna steak, chopped up, with salad, in 3 Warburtons sandwich thins, at 491cals which made up for yesterday's calories, hopefully. 

Knicker draws, R to L - thong/g-strings, briefs, French knickers
Bras moved to bigger draw under bed
Bras & lingerie sets, in other big draw under bed. 

I had another snack Cookie at 9 & 11pm while watching TV. Finally going to bed around 1am. 

Wednesday 9th April (Week 4, Day 24) 

I woke at 8am, after a restless sleep, I got up & jumped in the shower & then had 2 cinnamon Cookies, for breakfast with a coffee. I did a shed load of job/audition applications & then a load of housework, laundry, ironing, hoovering dusting etc (boring!!) having my snack Cookies at 10.30am & 12.30pm. Then I spent the afternoon changing my winter wardrobes, into spring/summer wardrobes, as below. Having my two lunch Cookies at 2.30pm with another coffee. 



I then had a spell, reading the paper, with a few glasses of water, plus snack Cookies, before finally finishing off, my spring/summer wardrobes (above) I watched Home & Away then had some cold, steamed, salmon steaks, mixed with smoked salmon & salad, in 3 Warburtons sandwich thins, for dinner, washed down with some diet coke & some Reisen chocolate sweets for desert, coming in at 664cals in total. Then I chilled in front of the TV for the rest of the evening, as I had a long day ahead tomorrow & a busy weekend. 

Thursday 10th April (Week 4, Day 25) 

I woke at 9am, I got on the scales & according to them, I've lost 8lb, but I hope I don't mess that up, over the weekend with Simon, before my weigh-in. I had a shower & my two chocolate breakfast Cookies with a coffee. Then I got ready for my day of filming ahead, hair, make-up & outfit done. I set off with my accessory bag & change of outfit options. Once in London had my snack Cookies at 11.30am & 1.30pm. I had my lunch Cookies on set, while all around tucked into tasty, stodgy, winter food. The smell of the food made my stomach growl in protest!!! At 7pm I finally had some food, a gorgeous, pea & creme fraiche soup, with some wholemeal bread, it tasted amazing!!! But that may have been down to my hunger & it's comparison to my rather bland Cookies. That came in at 508cals and my tummy thanked me BIG TIME!!! I finally wrapped at 9.45pm & left Chelsea, to head back to Hertfordshire. I was so gasping for a drink en route home, but there were no Starbucks, or Costa Coffees, en route home, or any other drink outlets open. I was so parched that on the train home, I fantasised about a cider stall, being on the St Albans, train platform, when I alighted. When I got out of the station, directly in front of me, I spotted a NEW off-licence had opened up & was still open!!! Damn, maybe there is something in that cosmic ordering after all!!!! Lol!!


So I bought 2 cans, of my favourite K Cider, drinking one on the way home, like someone who'd been wandering in the desert, with no water, for 3 days!!! Which added another 252cals to the earlier 508 (Oops!!) making the total 760cals, 60 over (not too bad) I put the other one in my fridge. I had the last of the snack Cookies, with a decaf coffee, while answering messages, on Facebook & Twitter with Supercasino on in the background. Renny text me at 1.33am, after seeing I was on Twitter, tweeting, so onviously still awake, asking me, what I was doing still up? I told him I'd been getting a few things sorted, for Simon's stay, over the weekend, we had some cheeky banter (the best sort..... I soon bore of guys with no banter!! Or who lose their banter!!) he said not to forget, to arrange for him to visit St Albans, at some point. We bantered a little while longer, then tired, I hit the sack around 1.45am. 

Friday 11th April (Week 4, Day 26) Simon Coming To Stay The Weekend

I woke at 9am, I got on the scales, they say I've lost 8.5lb phew, cider didn't blow it.... Let's hope I don't tonight, out with the boys, as it's my 4 week Cookie Diet weigh-in tomorrow!!! I had 2 cinnamon Cookies for breakfast at 9.30am, then a long long LONG bath!! I popped to one of my agents, to see if there was anything coming up, in the pipeline, that I might be apt for? Plus picked up some mail. Then I went home & went through the mail, while eating my two snack Cookies, at 1.30pm. Wearing turquoise jeans & a matching t-shirt, I popped in my local shop, to get a paper & a gay guy in there, buying some groceries, recognised me from when I use to manage, a local night club, years ago & said I'd not changed a bit, over the years, except being, a bit trimmer, which was encouraging!! Then I headed off to Beauty Secret for my Bailine session at 2pm. Today it is my legs, thighs & love handles (Below) Yalda printed me off my original body results chart & my progress one, along with my latest results (also below) 


The graph shows, how far away, my body parts, are from being the 100% perfect, body for my frame!! Originally my body weight was 86% perfect! (14% away from perfect) with a slightly overweight BMI of 26.1 (Normal is 19 - 25) on March 18th. Today on 11th April (3 weeks & 3 days, later) My body weight is 88% perfect (12% away from perfect, after a 3.5kg loss) another 13kg to lose, for my weight to be 100% perfect!! I NOW, have a NORMAL, BMI of 24.9 (My target is 20.5 BMI) With 4cm off my back at bust level (8cm to go) 3cm off my torso (9cm to go) 4cm off my waist (11cm to go) 3cm off my hips (12cm to go) 5cm off my butt (11cm to go) 1cm off my thigh's (7cm to go) NOTHING off my knees, so (8cm to go) 2cm off my calves (So I have hit my target, so there's none left to lose) 1cm off my over arm (2cm to go) but no change in under arm, which is already, 1cm under target (Which just needs toning & which, I am very self conscious about) they are hard area to sort, unlike the rest of me, as most arm exercises are out, at the moment, as I'm unable to do due to them, as doing them, adds to my upper back problem, if I do! (Hence the Bailine, on them, earlier this week. In the hope it has an effect, Or eventually in desperation I'll be saving up for a "Limited/Axillery Branchoplasty & Smartlipo!!"



When I first went, before my 1st tightening, Bailine session, on March 18th, according to the graph (Above) My bust/back area was 87.5% perfect (Needing 12.5% improvement) My torso/back 86% perfect (Needing 14% improvement) My waist 81.5% perfect (Needing 18.5% improvement) My hips are 85.5% perfect (Needing 14.5% improvement) My butt also was 85.5% perfect (Needing 18.5% improvement) My thighs (Both legs together) Surprisingly to me, were 91.5% perfect! With more muscle & water retention, under the surface, than actual fat!!! (Needing only 8.5% improvement) My thigh's, singularly, were 88% perfect (Needing 12% improvement) & finally my knees are 83% perfect (Needing 17% improvement) 



Now, today, after my 8th tightening, Bailine session, according to the graph (above) my bust/back area is 91% perfect (A 3.5% improvement. Now needing 9% improvement) My torso/back is 89% perfect (A 3% improvement. Now needing 11% improvement) My waist is 85.5% perfect (A 4% improvement. Now needing 14.5% improvement) my hips are 88% perfect (A 2.5% improvement. Now needing 12% improvement) My butt also is 89.5% perfect (A 8% improvement. Now needing a further 10.5% improvement) My thighs (both legs together) are now 92.5% perfect! (A 1% improvement. Now needing 7.5% improvement) My thighs singularly, are now 87% perfect (Taking a 1% step backwards. Now needing 13% improvement) & finally my knees are the same 83% perfect (So still needing 17% improvement) After my session there, I did two hours in the gym, to work on those thighs, which were going backwards, not forwards!! But before I did, I had a chat with the girls, as Yalda, had made me, a black coffee. You can find out more about Beauty Secret in St Albans by following @yalda1360 on Twitter. They asked me, what I was doing this weekend? I told them, that my friend Simon (below) was staying over, at mine, for the weekend & showed them his picture, on my phone & they said he was "VERY HANDSOME!!" 


Which of course he is & I said, that I'd pop in with him, at some point over the weekend. Then after the gym session, it was back home, for a bath & hair wash & to get ready, for Simon's arrival. I dried my hair, tied it back with a faux ponytail added on top. Tonight I wore a black, off the shoulder, long sleeved top, black glossy nylons & a black leather mini. Plus my black, stiletto, ankle boots & some gold jewellery and watch. Simon had already eaten, so I had Butternut Squash, honey & sage soup, with 2 slices of soya & linseed bread!! 532cals to try to be good before my weigh-in tomorrow!! Simon tweeted me at 7.30pm, to say that he was on his way, with a chilled bottle of bubbles, so to get the champagne glasses ready. So I got 3 ready, as our friend David, was picking Simon up, from his parents, after David had finished work, and dropping Simon at mine, before dropping his car, back at Hemel & then his parents, dropping him at mine, so he can drink tonight. Simon arrived around 7.50pm & we cracked open a bottle, with 4Music on the TV, providing the music!!


We caught up with each others gossip. Simon said i was looking really good & trim & also that he has decided, he wants to move to St Albans, to be near me, plus it's good for commuting to London. He said he was saying that he'd told David that, in the car, on the way over, and David said, that he also wanted to move out, of Hemel & his parents, so they were thinking of renting, a two bedroom flat together, so we'd all be close to eachother (Excellent!!) Then while waiting for David's arrival, we messed about taking silly selfie's. 


David arrived, he had some bubbles, then we headed to The Peahen, where we got a table & ended up, getting through, 3 bottles, of pink champagne (Oops I can expect to weigh-in 3-4lb heavier tomorrow, due to fluid retention bloat!!!) plus nibbles of sticky sausages, Haloumi, and polenta, chunky chips. I had around 6 chunky chips & 3-4 slices of my beloved Haloumi (but I didn't have my last 3, snack Cookies) Our waitress, Alexandra, who is also a model, was lovely & had the patience of a saint with David, who after losing a large bonus at work, was on one, being the total, loud, party boy!! 

Peahen Posse!! 

David, turns into a Jack Whitehall, clone, whenever he's on one!! We got back to mine at 1.30am & Simon went upstairs, while I chatted to David, who was smoking in my courtyard, while waiting for his dad, to pick him up Taxi Service style. It was bloody cold out by then, brrrrr!!! I locked up about 1.50am when David's dad arrived, and went upstairs, to find that Simon, had fallen asleep on the couch, bless him. So I put a cover over him & got ready for bed, and got in bed & crashed out myself!! Zzzzzzzzzz!!!  

Saturday 12th April (Week 4, Day 27) Official 4 Week, Weigh-in 

I woke at 8.30am, around the same time as Simon, we chatted & laughed about last night, Simon couldn't believe, that he'd crashed, before I'd even got upstairs. We both had a wash & I made us a coffee each & I had 2 chocolate Cookies for breakfast, Simon decided to have breakfast later in Costa's while we are out shopping. As we can't do our traditional J.K Palmers breakfast, before I have a Cookie Diet weigh-in. My next 4 weeks sully of the cookie diet, cookies, arrived at 9am & I dressed in my turquoise, skinny, low rider, jeans, matching t-shirt, turquoise drop earrings & black gladiator sandals (below) with my Alexander McQueen style, navy & white, skull print, neckerchief & slate grey Paul Costelloe leather jacket. Simon wore skinny jeans, a grey, v-neck, t-shirt & grey jacket. We popped in to say hi, at Beauty Secret & the girls went all soppy, over Simon as usual. Which amused Simon & I, he agreed they were all very sweet, as we walked to Costa Coffee. We got in Costa & both had soya cappuccinos, I had another cookie & Simon had a porridge & a energy bar too. Then we had a good mosey round the St Albans shops & Simon bought a coral t-shirt, in the shade of the one he use to wear, when bronzed in summer, but no longer has. 


Then we headed to St Albans, train station, to go to Elstree, for my Cookie Diet 4 week, weigh-in, then we are catching up with our friend from Big Brother 6, Kinga Karolczak. As it was her birthday yesterday, I'm dying to see her adorable new Pomeranian Cindy, in the flesh too!! As we were headed up the high street, in Borehamwood, Simon popped into a shop, so needing a pee (a Cookie Diet, side effect!) I decided to go to the pub next door & buy a diet coke & have a pee. I'd stepped only four paces into the bar, when the rotund, ruddy faced, landlord, bellowed out to me "Oi where do you think your going?" Confused, as I was only half way, into the establishment, I said "I'm going to have a pee & then buy a coke & wait for my friend!" Looking around the establishment & seeing only 3-4 male customers, I wondered, if the reason for the aggressive outburst, was due to it being, a men only establishment (Are they still allowed??) He continued aggressively "No!!! That's not the way it works in here, you buy the drink, then you use the loo!!"  What kind of clientele does he get? (If any, judging by the empty bar?!) That a punter can't relieve their bladder first?? I was smartly dressed, in designer gear, I was hardly about to rip the cistern off the wall, or inject smack, in there!!! And the place was so empty, I wouldn't of been able to pee & then sneak out, without buying anything, unseen!!... No wonder the bloody bar was empty, if that's how he talks to customers!! 

I almost wished, that I was in a skirt & had the shits, and couldn't hold my bladder, as I bought the coke first, as it would have served the old git right, if I had a bowel accident, on the "Toilet Nazis" floor!! He then charged me, an obscene £1.40, for a 'small' on TAP Coke, not even bottled (That syrup & soda water mix, wouldn't even be 1p, in costs, talk about BIG markup!) I'd get a pint of cider for that, in the Weatherspoon's across the road. I went to the loo, then drank my drink, as I waited for Simon. The old git probably spat in it, while I was in the loo, it tasted rank, it was over diluted, with soda water, the syrup bag, obviously needed changing!! At that moment Simon came in, leaving my rank drink on the counter, I walked over to Simon, exclaiming loudly, for all to hear, "Don't bother getting a drink here Hun, they are over priced, over diluted & their customer service skills suck!!! Lets go somewhere else!! No wonder they are dead in here!!" As we left, Kinga text Simon & said she was here, so Simon arranged to meet her, in the Ibis Hotel, and I'd join them after my weigh in. I got into the 'Cookie Diet' offices and saw Julie & Gaynor (Gaynor is also the name, of one of my older sisters) I'd chatted to the girls, on twitter, but had not met either before (below) each of us, were weighed & measured in turn.


I wore the same underwear set, as I'd done for my 1st weigh in, so I couldn't blame any weight loss or gain on what I was wearing!! My results were I'd lost 6lb (I knew I'd of gained weight due to yesterday's night out, 2.5lb it seems) I was expecting a 3-4lb gain, as I often can fluctuate daily by up to 5lb, due to water retention!! Then it was the measurements taken, I've lost 1" off my hips, I've lost 3" off my waist, I've lost 1.5" off my chest/back area, I've lost 1" off my arm & a had a 1" GAIN on my troublesome thighs!! (But that could be water retention though!!) Then we had a group photo out on the freezing cold & windy balcony, our hair blowing all over the place!! (Above - Gaynor centre back, Julie to my left!!) They then took a video testimonial from each of us, asking questions re our experience thus far. I was also asked if there had been any negative responses to my 'Cookie Diet'  blog, I said "Not unless you count my "Hater Troll" GLPGoddess but, thats due to, their own, personal, hatred of me, not the diet!! Other than that, the comments re the diet's progress, has been positive, the only other, negative comments, have been people saying... "Who's that petty, bitchy, nit picking, Troll moron, making negative comments, on your Blog? Don't they have a life? They are making themselves look so petty, stupid & obsessed!!" So again not about the diet!!" Then after a chat & a munch on an apple, I discovered that, sumo wrestler, Sharran, had discovered, that she had type 2 diabetes (Which may explain, as to why the Cookies, made her "GAIN" weight!!) Then once the chat was over, I met Kinga & Simon, in The Ibis Hotel & I finally got to meet, the adorable Cindy (Below) She was just so cute, when I held her, she was light as a feather, a bag of sugar, would be at least double her weight!! 


I had a cappuccino & a chat, Kinga told me, a funny story, about a female relative, wearing a pair of white trousers, after using diet pill ALLI (that is meant to stop fat from food going into body) the side effect of which is, greasy poo leaking from your butt (as side affects go, I prefer the constipation of the Cookies) Then Kinger drove us, to the Elstree train station. Once back in St Albans, Simon & I had a proper look round the shops. He bought a few bits, including a clear protective cover, for his iPhone & I got some tea tree cleanser. Then we popped into Costa again & he had a soya cappuccino & some nibbles for a late lunch, and I had a soya cappuccino & more chocolate cookies!! Then I bought a newspaper & we headed home. We got cleaned up, and changed, then about 7-7.30pm we both went to Waterend Barn, for dinner. I really fancied a tuna mayo jacket potato, I had a bit of a craving for one!! So when they had it on the menu, I ordered it, without even perusing the rest of the menu, having it with a cappuccino was 580cals in total. Simon had chicken, chicken & more chicken, he was a hungry boy! He had a white wine & I discovered a Toffee Apple Cider (below) Oops!!! Very nice, it had a real, burnt caramel, toffee apple taste!! 265cals a bottle (I had two!!.... Oops!!) Oh hell, I'll get back on the program again, next week!! 



We chatted about when Simon use to be in Hollyoaks & his time as a Abercrombie & Fitch model, in LA for 5 years, plus Renny's project. We got in at midnight, then crashed on Simon's makeshift bed, on my lounge floor, to watch the rerun of tonight's Britain's Got Talent pyjama party style, then at 2am we both retired to bed. As we had a busy day, tomorrow, in London, before we went our separate ways, back to our own homes, and it was to start off with our traditional Sunday Breakfast in J.K Palmers. 

Sunday 13th April (Week 4, Day 28) London Marathon 

I woke at 8.30am, Simon was awake already!! I had a wash & made us both a coffee. We got dressed for the day ahead, me in dark skinny jeans with diamanté studding around pocket areas, a black off the shoulder top, black ankleboots & I put my sunglasses & light weight puffa jacket in my black studded tote bag (below) as it's beautiful & sunny now, but being England it will probably snow tonight (Slight exaggeration..... Very slight!!) I tied my hair back & added a faux ponytail, so my back & shoulders could catch some sun & maybe tan a tad!! Simon packed his small case & we trundled past the St Albans, Sunday market, to J.K Palmers for our traditional Sunday Breakfast, I was salivating at the thought of FOOD IN THE MORNING!!! Arriving at J.K Palmers at 10am.



Simon, had his Full English Breakfast, with added Haloumi & a tea. I had the vegetarian breakfast, 2 rounds of wholemeal toast, mushrooms, grilled tomato, fried egg, baked beans & Haloumi (Simon also gave me, his two hash browns) & a cappuccino. The breakfast taste amazing, and the service excellent as always!!! Even the Maple Cookies, in my bag, couldn't compete with that!!... The food didn't last long (below) We left around 10.40am & got two Costa soya cappuccinos & did another mosey round the shops, before walking to the station.



We bought our tickets, and a Brighton train, semi fast, into London was due soon (London would be the place that we'd eventually go our separate ways) On the train we spoke about a train bang opposite mine, that was up for rent, Simon said to check how many bedrooms & the rent, as moving in opposite me would be perfect!! I couldn't help but laugh looking at Simon with his Costa soya cappuccino & Ray Bans looking like an Ad for the Coffee Empire!!! (Below) 



Today's The London Marathon & a bunch of friends, are running for charity, they said that, the route goes past, Blackfriars Train Station, so the viewing platform, would be an ace spot for me to watch, I looked out from the platform, at the viewing platform (below) when I arrived & it was clear, but I could see it was also quite empty close to road level, so opted for there instead. As it would have more atmosphere.



It was lovely & hot & sunny & I got a coffee frappe, from Starbucks, to cool me down, once Simon left, after standing in the sun a few hours. I didn't spot a single friend, even though I'd put my lenses in especially (They irritate my eyes long term.... Role on laser eye surgery) The atmosphere & the crowd were great fun, and time flew by, at 6pm the partner, of one of my friends running, said the BBQ was all fired up at their place in Kensington, so to come over any time I'm ready!! So I hopped onto the tube from Blackfriars & got the district line, to South Kensington. 



On the tube, around 6.30pm I started to feel hungry & realised I'd not eaten a single cookie!! By now, when on the usual pattern of cookies for breakfast, lunch & snacks, I'd be ravenous for dinner by now!! But after breakfast, a soya cappuccino & a frappe coffee, I'd only just become peckish!! Maybe next week, or on a more balanced, less hectic week I should do the diet with my main meal for breakfast!!! I got to my friends & as I was peckish & not ravenous as usual, despite the tasty smells of the BBQ I resisted the food or the booze, sticking to my cookies & diet coke (good girl) enjoying the good company, instead of the good food. I left there around 10-10.30pm & got the tube back to Blackfriars & then my train home. Getting home about 11.45pm, I sorted & tidied the lounge where Simon stayed. He text me to say he'd left his phone charger behind, I couldn't see it at first, as it wasn't where he normally plugs it in, but then I saw it by the TV. Not sure if I should post it, or if David will pick it up from me & drop it to Simon, after work, one day next week?? I had a wash & I was in bed & ready to crash by 12.30am!!! So another week begins!!
