So like everyone else I have decided to do a few new years resolutions and have decided to blog about it.
I have a great social life, am out every weekend seeing poeople who I have made friends with in the last 10 years I have been in london (I am originally from Manchester). Some how along the way I seemed to have collected alot of gay male friends; both married and single! there is a term called ‘fairy catcher’ a believe?!
so first resolution - meet more single straight men
As a lady in her 30’s, I am feeling the need to do a bit more with my life both career and different social activities activities. I have already taken step one and am doing a marketingh course about digital media (this is actually one of the assignments to start a blog!)
second resolution - Do new and different things
Like everyone else I have over indulged over xmas, well actually since I moved in to a new flat at the end over November and take away and red wine has become my middle name!
third resolution - loose weight
Friday 28th January
So what has happened so far?
Well I have officially lost 5 lbs on WW :)
Do new and different things - Myself and 3 friends are going to see Alan Carr's Chatty man tonight to be in the audience - the two friends are of course GAY (opps) and so is Alan Carr - potential of meeting straight men = not very high!
video's to follow.........
Satuday 29th February
see below a little clip before the show.....no cameras allowed whilst filming!

look out for the guy with ginger hair in front of me he had a thong on!
Billie Piper was the first guest though she was brazilliant! just down to earth and funny and said how her and her husband went clubbing to fire (a gay club in vauxhall) - made me like her even more -fellow fag hag!
Usher was next, not a great fan really but they showed a clip of him being kicked in the face by a fan which was funny! durran durran did a quick performance, i quite liked it but that might have been the 2 brandy and diet cokes + a cocktail inside me?!!
Those gypsy people from that tv programme were on with a big pink dress - proper car crash tv! then Juliet Lweis was the surprise guest at the end, who was a bit 'jet lagged' and got a bit uncomfortable when asked about Brad Pitt when he was her boyfriend ages ago.......
ended up going for a few drinks after, then a kebab (opps) so scores on teh doors:-
WW Points had = about 45!
No. of straight men met = 0
Differnt things done = 1
right i'm going to go have a jog around the park to ease the guilt!

Ok so i didnt have a jog yesterday or do much other than lie in bed and try and sleep whilst watching True Blood 3 - love it, 2 episodes to go then i'll have to move onto Vampire Diaries............
By the time it got to 7.30 I felt a bit normal just in time for my points to literally go flying out the window and have a gorgeous gastranomical delight cooked by flatmate danni. We were also joined by matt (ex flatmate and best friend = Gay) and Joe (Matt's lovely partner).
The menu consisted of smoked salmon pate and bread
pheasant with butter beans, a gravy and choritzo meat balls
the lemon cheescake and chocolate cake for desert with elmlea double light! (token diet jesture by myself)
then a bit later Pizza!!!
We played a game of articulate matt and joe were in a team and me danni and gina in a team.
You basically ahve to describe a word without saying it.
Funniest comments:-

Funniest comments:-
matt 'it's something that is made of dough is round and you put tomatoes, and different vegatables and meat on it'
joe ' a chopping board'
answer Pizza!
danni ' a famous paul'
matt 'jack daniels'
It was a funny night, probably worth mentioning that it was the first drink matt and joe had had for 4 weeks!
this is the aftermath
doing new things = playing articulate and eating pheasant
weight = no comment on last night, 25 min jog today though !
meeting straight men = does the old turkish man in the corner shop count, who says 'hello beautiful'?
Tuesday 1st February
It's the day before 'weigh in' day at WW, so I thought i'd better stick to the diet! I have 29 points in a day so here's the menu so far :-
Breakfast - 1 slice of brown bread with peanut butter 5 points
Lunch - Cous cous with seafood and veg and a bit of Pesto 7 points
Miso soup 1 point
skinny Popcorn 3 points
Dinner - salmon with Asparagus and Lime 6 points
I am going to use this video to help me:-

I will let you know later how it tastes :)
I didnt have time and ate a shish kebab instead (again) shhhhhhhhhhhh
I have also decided to take the bull by the horns and join a few dating agencies. I have joined plenty of fish today and had a few people contact me. The question is which one should i date - perhaps you can help?
Tuesday 8th February
Sorry it's been a while i've been away! Went back to home town of Manchester for both work and play.
Thursday 3rd Feb I had a networking evening which i though would be a good opportunity to meet straight men, it was a bit nerve racking walking in a place where i knew nobody but soon recognised a couple of people and all was well. I even got talking to a TV supplier who took a shine to me and asked if i'd like to go bowling back in London with him!
Speaking of dating, one particular website has been pretty good and i have even got a date this week.
Travelling made the diet a bit harder but I tried to stick to it, spirits rather than wine and cider anyway!
Weight loss last week was only half a pound (but at least I didnt put on!) getting weighed tommorrow so fingers crossed.
Scores on the doors
Meeting men = joined dating sites (5) dates asked out on = 2
weight lost = not enough, i should probably stick to it!
Doing differnt things = Bingo planned for Friday :)
