Weight Loss Forum / WeightWatchers / October 2006Birthdyt Triaumph!
My son's 12th birthday... We took him and a friend to the cinema to see Pirates of the Carribean II: Dead Man's Chest. Fab film! No calories in that... except... welll... It was a birthday treat, see? We booked Gallery seats. This means that you get Big Comfy Sofa seats, a drink (DH and I had coffee, the boys had soft drinks), a plate of nibbles, and a nice little box of chocolates... The nibbles were a pile of nachos and salsa dip, 4 profiteroles and chocolate sauce, and a couple of little muffins between two... I ate about a third of the nachos and salsa, my two profiteroles with a dip of sauce on each, and my muffin. DH finished off the nachos, the chocolate sauce, and ate his box of chocs... The two boys did much the same... My box of chocolates is still in my handbag! I'd also swum and earned three bonus points in the morning and skipped lunch after a late breakfast of porridge with a banana. Dinner was as per my son's special request: jacket spuds, salad, and my low fat prawn mayo mix (2 tablespoons half fat creme Fraiche and one of home made mayo, a dollop of tomato puree and a splash of Tobasco between 4 portions of prawns), followed by a small slice of birthday cake. Great afternoon with two great lads! I like 12 YO boys: much more fun than girls of that age! ;)  SignatureKate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore!

I taught in all boys schools for 5 years, and an all girls one for one term! Guess which I liked better, were better behaved, and more fun to work with? Yup, the lads! With the girls one term was as much as I could take! The only job interview I withdrew from was at a girls school. I just loathed the atmosphere. Very tense, both staff and kids. Boys tend to be more relaxed. Girls may work harder (though that is debatable in my experience) and boys seem naturally allergic to coursework, but on the whole they are MUCH easier to deal with! You can tell a lad off in class and 10 minutes later he'll yell Hi, Miss! at you in the yard. Tell a girl off and she'll sulk at you for the rest of her school career!

I taught 11-18 YO's on and off for the last 20 years, along with a smattering of adults! They hold no fears for me! ;) SignatureKate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore!

Even my hubby enjoyed himself after a nice lady overheard me ask at the desk if they had any headache pills and gave him one of hers! :) Aren't starngers kind, sometimes. Quite restores one's faith in human beings.

Glad you had fun and enjoyed the food and movie! I haven't seen Pirates of the Caribbean II (or I for that matter). I'll have to rent the DVD's and watch them-after I do my exercise, of course.
