Thought it was about time I finally added an entry to the blog (Celebrity Big Brother has just finished and I'm at a loose end)
Seen as you heard about the RAF Christmas do, I thought I'd start with mine...
We started the night off in the rather classy Benihanas on Kings Road in Chelsea - an amazing teppan-yaki Japanese restaurant. However, the sophistication didn't last long. A few Bellinis later we found ourselves in a seedy Soho Karaoke bar cleverly named Karaoke box. We had our own private booth where I embarrassingly entertained my colleagues singing Christina Aguilera. I was equally entertained by some of their performances... A very good night in all (except for Martin feeling and being a little under the weather in the taxi home, sorry Martin he he!)
A couple of days later Matt and I went to Prague where we had a lovely pre-xmas few days away. It was very cold but a beautiful city. We flew back to Manchester on Christmas Eve where we had Christmas dinner with my family, and then another Christmas dinner with Matt's family on Christmas day. It was so nice to see everyone, especially Mia and Maisy opening their presents on Christmas day.
Thought I would also mention my night out with Hayley, Rachel and Hayley in Manchester. Really enjoyed catching up with the girls and going for dinner. We went to Cloud 23 at the Hilton for drinks which is well worth a visit. I also bumped into my friend Monica from uni in the Living Room that night which was really nice.
I had a quite but really nice NYE with with Claire and Matt Bev in New Mills. It was there I ate my last slice(s!) of pizza and nachos coated in melted cheese & salsa before my New Year diet commenced. Matt was playing with the RAF at the Ritz in London so I drove back down to meet him the next day.

After an indulgent end to 2006 the excess pounds were beginning to show. I woke up on NYD to a healthy new me and have not touched a mouthful of chocolate or even a crisp since. Matt and I have joined slimming world. Not that Matt needed to, but it is great support when we eat the same food.
I started the diet in the same way I start all diets -buying things. Normally its some sort of milkshake mix or exercise ball etc, but this time it was actually healthy food!
I went to Tesco, which unfortunately didn't get off to a great start. I left my handbag in the trolley in the car park (in the rain) and drove home. Luckily some honest people do live on our planet and someone had kindly handed it in to customer services.

That trauma over with, food shopping and cooking have become my new hobbies. I make fruit smoothies every morning and go to the gym after work. Matt was slimmer of the week last week. I was very proud but also wished it was me!
Anyway, just before I go, a few messages...
