Nick would have told me if that were
the case; but he's not the most reliable man so I wouldn't put it
past him to leave me to find out the hard way.
    He's still been off with me. Usually, when
we'd been to a weirdo for an assignment we'd laugh about it in the
car on the way back to the office, but when we came away from the
psychic old woman from Chester, he was quiet. The only thing he
said was that he was going to have to go to the bathroom once we
got back to work so he could wash away the germs and fleas.
    Anyway, I'm waffling again. I'm going out
with Scott again tonight. We're going to a restaurant on the
outskirts of Liverpool that Scott claims serves the best lobster.
I've never eaten lobster and so I wouldn't know either way but I'm
looking forward to seeing him again. I can dress up to so I'll wear
my new indigo blue satin dress I got in the sale the other day.
It's knee length so hides my wobbly things while showing off my
slim calves. I will let you know how my date goes when I do my
Monday update, but until then,

    Hi guys
     
    I had a day off today. The heating broke at
work and it was against health and safety for us to come in as the
bad weather meant we'd freeze to death or something like that. So I
did something I thought I'd never do; I joined my local gym. I've
only just got back. I only went at 4 o'clock though, because I went
back to bed after my boss called with the good news.
    I got weighed, poked and prodded at the gym,
which was a little humiliating but it was for my own good because
now they've put together a fitness program for me, which will focus
on my jelly thighs and stomach. You're probably wondering why I'm
suddenly so bothered about my health, right? Well, the other night,
after eating lobster (which I thought was horrible, by the way) we
went back to Scott's house. I felt bloated after my strawberry
cheesecake and four pints of lager and so when Scott's hands moved
to unzip my dress I jumped up like he'd set me alight and told him
I wasn't feeling well and needed to go home. I'm surprised he
didn't dump me. He said he understood that we hadn't known each
other for long and he actually apologized! As soon as I got home I
realized that I had to do something about my weight if I wanted to
feel confident with him. I suppose I've become quite relaxed about
it because men usually don't stick around long enough for me to
worry about sleeping with them, but things seem different with
Scott. I need to shift some pounds and that means cutting out some
of my fave foods too. It is going to be so hard with Christmas just
round the corner but if I can't do it alone my new trainer, Paul,
will make damn sure of it.
    I'm thinking about getting a dog, too.
Yesterday, I went to visit Scott at the animal rescue centre and I
fell in love with a little jack Russell puppy called Spud. He's so
cute. He needs to be house trained, though and I haven't got the
time at the moment and it wouldn't be fair so I've asked Scott to
look out for a small house-trained dog that doesn't mind being left
alone while I'm at work.
    Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you...Lila quit
her job. I knew it was too good to be true her actually liking
work. She blamed it on one of the customers. She said he tried to
molest her when she was measuring him for spectacles. I don't know
how he managed this, considering both of them need to be sitting
down when this happens. She told me she went to her supervisor
immediately but she took the man's side and so Lila, being Lila,
grabbed her coat and handbag from the back room and walked out. It
was funny how she did this the day after she'd phoned in for an
application form for next year's X-factor. Anyway, that's all the
news I have for today. I will update you again on Wednesday. Until
then,

    Hi guys
     
    I'm typing this after being attacked by a
rubbish bin that had just been emptied. It has been so windy the
