AHey girly
Glad you had a good laugh at class and you will get there with making friends at uni. You and Bobby sound the same, nervous about meeting new people and worried that you are gonna make a bad first impression. Like i told him, just be you and everyone will love you (the important people anyway)
I'm still not mentioning food or men but i love the analogy lol very funny. Like Jess i did laugh......Slut!!!!
Ooh, what did you do with your 'you' time while the kids were at school/nursery?
Love and squishies. Xxx

AOooo YAY for getting them! Even if you don't start for a little while (is there an expiry?) until you have got your new routine organised, that's awesome! Some may even say BONZA!

AThanks everyone for the love!
Well, I have done my shopping (superhealthy), I have bought my gym passes. I have made a solemn vow to do five sit ups, and five bounces on the trampoline in the morning. Every morning. Until I can be arsed to do more. Its going to be reallyreally hard getting back on the wagon. But if I don't then my story will end here. And it isn't going to do that. Nuh-uh. I would feel like I am not only letting myself down, but letting all of you down as well. So I am going to be strong. In all ways!
Yep, Kate, today was my first full day at home with Charlie at school and Lily at nursery! Twas wonderous! Tuesdays are my main study day(s). As I don't have any work to do yet, I thought I would practice drawing. I am going to try and do two drawings a week so I improve. One at my art class, and one at home. I was quite proud of the one I did today. It took about 5 hours as I had to rub out every little detail about 4 times before I got it right again, but its the best non-technical drawing I have ever done, and I am proud of it (Am I allowed to say that? If not, whoops!). Hopefully by this time next year I'll have a whole sketchbook full of drawings I'm proud of. May as well stick up a pic...
Its Charlies' robot dinosaur, I was also going to draw his toy cars small by its feet and buildings in the background, but I decided not to get too carried away.
Today I ate one and a half bacon sandwiches, a slice of toast, a big jam doughnut which tasted of oil and disgustingness, lots of quiche with new potatoes and a puny amount of peas, 10ish sugary coffees, and I am itching for a chocolate, which I might get, as this is my last day of being bad.
Will go and check out everyones diaries, sorry I have been neglecting you all

I like reading about your college experience. I Hope you keep posting about it. I went to art school you know. Its ok to be crappy at things when you start out. I know it can be painful if you are REALLY crappy - as i was at sculpture the first time. F....k. You have no idea but i was THE WORST sculptoress in THE ENTIRE WORLD. i just had no freaking idea at all. And my mind froze. Taht was more the point. MY MIND FROZE AND I HAD TO EMBARASS MYSELf oops just in order to pass the foundation course. I surived that though. That's the thing. We cans survive great embarssment and go on and even become quite competent at these things. That's when it helps to give up being so self-conscious, and self judgment. Just allow yourself to fail miserably sometimes iwhtout punishment. But i am confident that no one could be quite as useless as me and so i am sure you are streets ahead.
Last night i was thinking about the difference between self consciousness and self awareness. You might want to contemplate that for a while. I won't bore you with my own ideas. try just to work it out yourself and become more self aware and less self conscious. I am only saying this to you becuase you have admitted to the tendency to lock yourself away from the world. I think that oftentimes perhaps people who are afraid to go out are simply toooooooooooooo self conscious. I have been very self conscious at times and it used to stop me from doing many things. I am over it completely now. I think. Self consciousness is not good. Self awareness is great. Focus on that second one.
Good to know you are ignoreing that guy lol.

AHaha Andrea, you should have seen my first sculpture. It was two bits of duct taped dado rail coming out of a ceral box haha. Whatever yours was it couldn't have been as bad! You have got to start somewhere...Just hope with practice it will come more easily to me. And you are not useless! I have confidence that you are amazing.
Kate... Erm, well, it was all goping swimmingly- till lunch time. Eeeek. Thanks! It still isn't in proportion. The neck is too long and thin and a tail segment is missing, but its so much harder to draw from still life than it looks. I'm okay at copying from photos. You can turn it upside down and do a grid. When its upside down it turns out better as you are more likely to draw what you actually see rather than what you think you see. Its not a power rangers toy, its a roboraptor! Omg, they are AMAZING! I have so much fun with it with Lily. There are three different modes, hunting, cautious and playful. It has infrared motion sensors and sound sensors, and it will run towards you and attack you in hunting mode (really scary fluid motion), thrashing its tail, and it actually bites you. And if you put your hand to one side of its head it turns its head to bite you.In playful mode it nuzzles your hand. You can remote control it or let it do its own thing. Plus its about 80cms long
Thanks Jess!
Well, today I was up bright and early, as an art shop about 40 minutes away from me had a student thing going on- you had to spend over a pound and you get a goody bag worth £45 for free! So I trotted off to that, and it was so bargainificous I bought loads of things. An acrylics paint set reduced from £55 to £23 being one of them. Then I randomly walked past an antique teddy bear shop on my way to the station which was weird, as I had been intending on getting a vintage paddington bear for my besties baby, as she loves Paddington bear and she was looking at old teddies for baby Oscar. I was on my way to see her, and the shop had them. The woman there was so rude to me, but I still ended up buying one for £110, even though it was in a bit of a bedraggled state. I thought it must be worth that much, but ones in mint condition are going for £75 on ebay, so I'm quite pissed of that I wasn't rude back to her. Anyway, so I went to Tash's house and played with Oscar, he is so cute and me and Lily had some lovely cuddles with him I ate two slices of pizza for lunch, but I wasn't going to request a more healthy option. Tash said how well I was doing on the diet Then I was really hungry on the way back and got a vegetable wrap from mcdonnalds and ate Lily's leftover chips, which were quite a lot. I was craving chocolate so badly, that I ate two yoghurts to try and satisfy it. Then nick went to the shop and brought me back a cadbury's flake. He said he saw the mcdonnalds bag and assumed that I hadn't restarted it arrgghhh. So I ate the chocolate. I was desperate for it. Now I'm going to eat some fruit. My appetite has got so big. Tomorrow is a new day though. I have an eat natural bar and a bit of fruit for brekkie, a ready made salad for lunch, and all my options of evening meals are healthy. And I will do my five sit-ups in the morning. IwillIwillIwill.
The damage from being a food slut for a fortnight
One inch gained everywhere, and 7 pounds. Blah. I am hoping that some of it is water, but I doubt it because of the inch gain.
Food
Eat natural bar and cappuchino
2 slices hawaiian pizza
Veggie wrap and some chips
Hot chocolate
2 activia yoghurts
Flake
2 plums and an apple

AHeya girly
Aww, don't worry too much about not having a totally perfect food day, you at least made an effort. And doesn't eating fruit cancel out the calories in chocolate?
Charlie's toy sounds awesome!!!! I want one!! Jack's power rangers thing was just bloody annoying!! We kept hiding it
I laughed like Jess about you being a food slut!
Ok, so you have gained quite a bit but you will lose it soon enough....We are here to slap you back into shape sexy
Hope you had a good day today sweetheart.

AMaking your own sculptures for the garden would be lovely.
Thanks Jay!
I will do in future Jess!
I am absolutely shattered today. Hardly any sleep last night then a really busy day today. No super bad food, lots and lots of urges tho. I decided to try and change groups of people at uni today. I can't put my finger on it, but the conversation seems a bit formal and forced between the people I've been chatting to lately. And there is always chatting and laughter coming from the back of the room from a few people whose vibe I liked. So I invited myself to lunch with them and they are so mental they make me look normal lol. Although I felt a bit like "will yoooou beee my fwriend" though. Hope I can elbow my way in, but without trying too hard. Eeek.
So tired I will look at everyones diaries tomorrow x
I have been SO HUNGRY today.
Food
1 1/2 eat natural bars, and an apple
Chicken salad and a bite of burger.
2 slices of granary toast
Medium portion of porridge and honey
Cappuchino
Nectarine and a kiwi.
Exercise
5 situps
5 Jumps. Not on the trampoline as it has been tidied up aka relegated to the deepest darkest corners of the house.
2 milesish walking.
Thanks Jay!

A But I totally forgot to do them this morning arrrggghhh!
I didn't have the best day today. It started bad and ended good, its usually the opposite way around. Charlie ransacked my eat natural bars that were in the cupboard for my breakfast. I was in a bad mood because I had started arguing with Nick before I even got out of bed, and I thought fuckit and got a burger king breakfast. Then after college (I have a weird aversion to the word uni. Dunno why. But I think I will just call it college!) I stayed in the library doing my essay for a couple of hours munching my way through a big bag of yoghurt coated banana chips. But I had califlower curry with basmati rice for dinner, and a nectarine and an orange after.
There really is a lot of uni work to do. Already. If you hand it in late your mark is capped at 40%. Eeeeek. I have to do lots of drawings, with stripes being the common theme. Any ideas, let me know!
I'm supposed to be going out clubbing tomorrow night. I am filled with complete dread at the thought of it. I'm going to get my hair cut in the morning and buy a nice new frock. I think I'd feel more comfortable going somewhere that plays cheesy songs. So that's what I think I'll do.
