It is pretty funny!! 
New challenge... Baking one batch of new cookies a week!
I got a book after reading a thread on here, it's called "1 Dough, 50 Cookies", I think it was Pinkyfluff that recommended it (and I thank you!)
Since I have ALWAYS been obsessed with cookies, love making strange ones, experimenting with tastes & flavours and have about 20-25 cookie cutters, I kid not... I got the book.
This book has a basic dough recipe and then 50 different ways of making beautiful cookies with the same dough, so I guessed I could make a batch of dough and then split it into 3, or something, and freeze the dough to save binging...
Then the book took forever to get here, and today, it arrives! So I sent a picture of the cover to Biker, since he's fed up at work, and said
Dear ******,
Plz pick a number between 1 to 50.
Yours sincerely,
best.gf.ever x
How does it happen?! A full blown jenny-wants-to-punch-him-in-the-head argument erupting from me asking him to pick a sodding number!! He wants recipe 2.7... Yes, that is TWO POINT SEVEN not TWENTY SEVEN
This was my way of making it up to him, since I terrified him by mentioning "...when we have kids" at the weekend....
The reason THAT came up, was that everytime there is a Disneyland advert on the telly, he says something about me wanting to go there. I've been to Disneyland Paris when I was 14, I loved it, absolutely loved it! And yes, I would love to go to the proper one in Florida. But, I have always thought it's a once in a lifetime thing, going by the cost... so if I ever go, it would be when I have a kid, when they are about 5, 6 years old. Purely hypothetical, I don't have the "5 year plan" or anything like that! I'm not planning anything grown up: kids, wedding, house, I tried planning that and it all went pearshaped, so I take each day as it comes. I have a man-attitude & fear towards those types of things... So I think that with the recent discussions about weddings (regarding his sisters) and after the day shopping for mattresses, being treated by sales staff like a married-couple buying "our" bed when really, it's his, that me then replying with "no, I don't want us to go to Disney til we have kiddies" was maybe a bit much for him.
Cos he's been a bit funny since.
But to be fair, we've been together a while now. And... I have a spare key... if that's not commitment..... lol
In fact, I don't know if I was meant to give that back to him or not haha!

Get you with your cookie baking! 2.7 is actually rounded up to 3 so he picked up number 3 and that's what he shall have. I'm baking banana bread this weekend - not as good as cookies but am on a health kick trying my utmost to find a few things I can bake and not have to give all of them away immediately!
That made me laugh about BB and the babies. I said summat to the Pixie about how much weight I'd gained over Chrimbo, he said to me 'You haven't gained that much.' To which I replied 'Well it's either baileys and sausage rolls or a baby in there so take your pick.' Needless to say he nearly passed out.

Hahaha Hannah, I don't know what the Pixie looks like, but I can picture the atmosphere complete with tumbleweed!! What is it with men!
Hi Kals all is ok ta. I'm taking tomorrow and Friday off so naturally today is a clockwatching day I have a couple of reports to run, then I might fold some letters. Such is the interesting life of an administrator...!
Summink's still wrong with grumpypants. I text him something sweet this morning, then again about 10 when I saw the groupon deal for a cheap holiday in Morocco, asking him where I can look for flight prices, to see if it's worth it. Ain't heard a word, not a sausage, and considering I was off sick yesterday, he could at least ask me if I'm BETTER!!
I am so looking forward to steak & chips for tea. I have no idea what has gotten into me wanting all this meat recently.
Some guy just came to drop off paperwork. Don't think he appreciated me saying "thanks chick" .......

How are you feeling Jen? If BB isn't going to ask I AM!
Hope you have a lovely couple of days off. You doing anything nice?
Whack him one in the chops if you get a chance. Oh and another from Kally. And another one from me

Aw bless, thanks you lot I'm feeling better now, having had a good looooong sleep last night, I think that helped. I took some Kalms, the sleeping ones, to get settled, and they seem to have done the trick.
I have no real plans for my time off. Just as little as possible, I think. Some me time
BB Finally text me at 8pm last night to say his internet wasn't working so he couldn't look for flights to Morocco, why who was going? I said I was thinking for us but forget it...
First official WI of 2011 - Lost 7.5lbs Needless to say, I am very chuffed with that, and looking forward to a good week ahead with no stupid fat-man burgers!!! I decided that JD is the key to successful weightloss.
When I was on SW eons ago, there was another girl about the same stats as me, called Caroline. She used to go out once a month with "The Girls" and drank nothing but JD&Coke and would have a donner kebab with chips and all the trimmings on the way home. And every week she did this, was a substantial loss! Whenever I'd had JD and a naughty-food experience (that sounds wrong..) I always had a loss too... It's Jack!! I tell ya!! ;-)
Have a good day people plz xx

Yay for you - that is a whopping loss! Hurrah! You star Jen, are you feeling good? I bet you've got a big cheesy grin on your face.
As for BB - ignore him. He's not fooling anyone by pretending he didn't know who the flights were for! He doesn't want to part with any dosh - natural January feeling I reckon. Though I am of the other January type like you, desperate to book holidays!
Hope you have a great day and if the JD diet works for you chuck then you go for it! It will certainly dis-prove the belief held by Kally, Nic and me that alcohol is the key to weight gain and you have no idea how much I'd like that to be a myth

I'm here!!!
I had a couple of days off work, so I went and did stuff!!! Shocking I know!
Yesterday, I spent most of the day in the kitchen or speaking to my daddy, and then went to the boys house with the pretence of cooking a special tea... in reality, when he got there after work, dinner was in the oven, but I was sat, feet up on the sofa in my PJs, scoffing what was left of my christmas chocolate truffles that I had left at his (in quarantine, to stop me scoffing them...) drinking tea and watching Bad Girls on his big telly......
Girl knows how to enjoy herself...
I then cooked a fabulously healthy tea, which was lamb meatballs, rice, salad and a pitta bread, followed by a not-so-healthy chocolate fondant with WW cream on the side... Pic attached for show-off purposes because it was perfectly gooey and wonderful inside... I was so so so proud of it, I went very highpitched and was squeaking "it worked it worked look look lookit it WORKED!!" and have been dubbed Special Fondant Girl now.... haha
He admitted that he knows he's been a bit funny, and said it's work stuff, not me. And proceeded to tell me to make myself at home at his, and he said he was proud of me for sticking to my points even though we had that Burger hiccup at the weekend, that I should keep doing what I was doing
So in reaction to that, I ate the entire contents of my fridge/freezer today, but more about that later...
This morning, I had an interview. I kept it quiet, only Biker knew about it. Going by what happened last time, I didn't want to get my hopes up. But having been for the interview in the world's worst designed trousers ever, I don't think I would take the job if they offered me it. It's not quite what I was expecting from the job spec, and I don't think it would benefit me as much as I had hoped. BUT it did break the ice, so to speak, for interviews, since the last one I had was so disasterous!
The trousers... Were purchased from a retailer who caters for the fat bird, the "outsize woman" they call us.... SO why, WHY I ASK YOU do they zip up at the side? For christ's sake, I am at the smaller end of the size range that they do, and I could barely do them up because I am too fat to reach round far enough to pull up the badly designed zip without dislocating my shoulder!!!! Although I did find that lying on the bed, yanking the material so as to give oneself a wedgie, allowed easier fastening of the trousers!!!!! Boyfriend meanwhile half asleep murmuring "what the hell are you doing?" as I'm doing that shuddering with laughter trying not to laugh because I didn't want to wake him up... You know when you try not to laugh and it makes you laugh even more, then you start snorting in a comical cute-geek fashion.....
ANYWAY! Enough about my trousers (which did look horrendously smart, by the way)!! Needless to say, I was glad I didn't need the loo before my interview, and was glad I took jeans in my bag so I could get changed into day-off clothes in the bogs in Tescos afterwards...!
Then I headed into town, and bought stuff that I really don't need.... red shoe-boots, a bag, topped up my makeup since I have been running low on foundation and mascara for the last month or so, a single-egg frying pan in pink, a cushion, and some screenwash. Man I know how to live...
I actually thought I bought more than that... Strange.
Then, I saw that the carwash on the way home had defrosted enough to be in action, so I treated my car to a good clean, and then came home.
Felt the munchies, so I ate...
Having pointed everything, I am on 52 pp for the day, so 10 weeklies used, and I actually feel uncomfortably full. Just as mother comes in my room and starts quizzing me about her diabetes....
I need to get a grip....!!
So..!! That's my last couple of days! Not sure what's on at the weekend, I need to do laundry, that's about the extent of my efforts though I think. Don't think I am seeing the bloke tomorrow, as we think it might be the weekend he is going wedding suit shopping.... Not that he has checked with his sister...!!!! MEN!!
He did finally look into Morocco flights though, and said at the same time that he really doesn't fancy Morocco...
But said that he is taking me to Edinburgh to see the Pandas when they arrive. SCORE!!!
Happy days... x

Wow, well done on the loss! You're a good advert for PP-ing anyway
The choc fondant looked delish :drool: You must be such a good cook, wish I could make something like that
You sound just like me, what you do with your time off and to relax. A wee bit of shopping, Bad Girls, polishing off choc truffles..!
Enjoy the weekend and hope you get good news from the interview
