Night Out Tonight!!!!

Tonight is THE night ~ I am going on a night out (doesn't happen very often ~ so I am very excited tee hee!!!).

I have this morning free ~ no childminding children until 12 noon ~ so I have been making the most of this morning ~ nails are painted (I even did my toe nails ~ no one will see them ~ but what the heck!!!). I have washed my hair ~ will get to work with the hair straighteners a bit later!! My outfit is all ready and I have narrowed it down to three possible pairs of shoes ~ 2 of which are probably NOT a good idea ~ they have a high heel ~ which could spell disaster after a few glasses of wine! The other pair are still high ~ but not 'break your ankle' high ha ha !!!

The babysitter is booked for 7pm and my friend June is picking me up at 7.15pm ~ we have to make a few stops along the way to collect the rest of the group ~ then we are off out for a festive christmas meal and a few drinks. I am sooooo looking forward to it ~ a night off from the diet ~ a night off from being a mummy ~ a night to kick back and have fun (and probably regret it saturday morning tee hee!!), just a night to enjoy with my friends ~ I think at last count there are now 8 of us!!).

I will try and get one of my darling children to take a half decent picture of me all ready and dressed to go ~ I cannot guarantee how good it will be ~ but hopefully you will get the general idea!! This is also the night that I have been dieting towards ~ last year when we went out ~ I was almost 5 stone heavier and wearing clothes 5 sizes bigger ~ I had wanted to be in a size 10 trousers for tonight ~ but although when I tried them on, they went on and almost did up (ha ha ) ~ I am not quite there ~ so size 12 it is!! I am happy with that and as I said ~ it is along way from where I was this time last year.......infact my whole life is. I am happier and more settled than last year ~ my D~I~V~O~R~C~E is all done and dusted and that whole part of my life is behind me and I now have my sights set firmly on the future!!

PS ~ you will have to whisper your comment tomorrow as I may have a sore head (tee hee!!!). XX

Have fun!

I'm so very proud of you for sticking with your diet so well.

Maybe next year will be my year to stick to a diet.

Tabitha, I think you really deserve that night out with your friends for sticking to your diet like that! I hope you have a great time and I look forward to that picture!!

Maybe I shouldn't use "!!" since that actually would mean that I'm shouting...

Love,
Tania
PS: Some wonderful snailmail reached me from the UK: Thank you so much! I'm definitely going to blog about it, but with Sinterklaas everything's a bit hectic around here. I hope to get round to that still this weekend. Please tell Dan and Lauren that I love their card!

I'm whispering now 'cause my blog is all messed up and I may not make it back in the morning. hahaha
