Okay...so Duane's surprise or shock was all the restaurants we have...before coming, he told me that a good wife cooks everyday.....

Now.....when I tell him that I do not feel like cooking, he says : "Okay baby, where do you wanna eat tonight???"........I reminded him of his little saying before he arrived and he started laughing saying that he never realized that we could eat at a different restaurant everynight of the week and the food NEVER gets boring......

I know what you are going through.....Roy is having a hard time finding a job too (his Target job SUCKS!!) His spirits are better now that school starts back next week -- he has something to look forward to....it's is hard having them "playing" around while you are working all day -- in your case all day and night. It will get better -- it has to!!

A friend of mine in Jamaica sent this to me...

EXCLUSIVE: SUN, SEA & 'BLACK BAMBOO'

THEY'VE DUMPED THEIR HUBBY AND KIDS, WON'T SEE 50 OR SIZE 16 AGAIN, AND SAY MEN AT HOME ARE BAD IN BED. SO 80,000 BRIT WOMEN FLY TO JAMAICA FOR SOME..

Sharon Van Geuns In Negril Beach, Jamaica

HEY lady, you want some hot lovin'? I got everything you need... and more. Fast, slow, I'll show you what a real man can do. You're not going to be disappointed."

Welcome to Negril Beach, on Jamaica's western tip, where the promise of crystal blue seas, seven miles of pure white sand - and raw, uninhibited sex with a young black lover - has led to an invasion of middleaged British women jetting in on cheap package holidays.

The lure of the "black bamboo", a cheeky phrase which can't be further explained in a family newspaper, has become a big draw for British women seeking more than just a tan in this popular tourist resort.

Bristling with sex day and night, this is no Club 18-30 for drunken teenagers, but a paradise where middle-aged mums, wives and even grans give in to the temptation of muscular young men, many with rasta-style dreadlocks.

And many are willing to pay good money for it. For a night of passion, each "rastitute" - as the local gigolos call themselves - can find themselves £120-£200 better off.

But in most cases there's no straightforward cash-for-sex transaction - it's more sophisticated than that. Gigolos are often paid by the women to give them "tours of the island" or to be their "taxi drivers" for the week.

They can also expect gifts of watches, jewellery and clothes.

Considering that the average weekly wage is just over £50, education is only compulsory up to 11, and twice as many Jamaican males as females can't read and write, working as a gigolo is a tempting way for a young man without prospects to reap huge riches.

Of course, the women involved don't see it as a form of prostitution.

They are given undivided attention, endless flattery and, if they want it, lots and lots of sex.

Unlike back home, they won't be judged on their looks. Jamaican men claim they love a woman with a "bit of meat" on them.

Day and night Bob Marley tunes blare from every beach shack, the constant whiff of marijuana is in the air and the place is awash with sexual allure.

We bump into two locals, Anthony and Edward. Like many of the gigolos around here, during the day they work the tourist trail. The pair, who are both 25, hire out jetskis.

Others operate glass-bottomed tour boats, sell fruit or necklaces.

Here is where the flirty patter begins. "Come enjoy the ride of your life," Anthony croons at a couple of overweight women walking past in their bikinis.

"We just make the women feel special," says Anthony. "I love to compliment them on their gorgeous curves. I often tell them how I love to lick full-fat cream, not skimmed milk... and why I prefer a tiger not a tiger cub in the bedroom.

"Their age doesn't put either of us off as I find it brings them a sexual confidence that younger women don't have."

If a woman makes it clear she is after more than just a boat ride, they usually make arrangements to meet later at one of the beach bars.

"I've had 50- and 60-year-old women who enjoy making love to me. I don't mind what the women look like too much, but the older ones pay better," says Anthony.

The pair admit they have slept with dozens of foreign women. "The Brits have a real reputation," adds Richard. "They are very confident. They like to hold hands, and walk along the beach. Then they make clear they want you."

Anthony interjects: "They tell us the men back home are cold. They say they are no good in bed. Their performance is no good.

"We Jamaican men are like trains, we can go on and on!" he bellows with laughter.

Anthony, who has two children by different local women and has a Jamaican girlfriend, says he has slept with dozens of British women.

"I like them the best - they are the most considerate and they are very generous with gifts like watches and designer clothes."

As dusk falls we meet Peggy Connor, 53, a Londoner who openly admits she is sleeping with a number of the local men.

The businesswoman and grandmother of two is currently having the "time of her life" dating up to 10 young local men. For a woman in her fifties, she exudes enough energy and enthusiasm to put a 20- year-old to shame.

Tanned and pretty, she has never paid for a man to be with her, preferring to buy them gifts or let them drive her car. But she knows plenty of women who have opened up their wallets to secure a hunky young local for a holiday fling.

"They know exactly how to treat a woman right. The sex can be incredible - they are attentive and whisper sweet nothings in your ear and they love curvy women.

"In their culture curves are seen as very desirable - in fact, thin women are a turn-off. And they make such a change from British men - who last a few seconds and then fart, roll over and fall asleep.

"Some of the guys I see are gigolos, some not, I don't care really. As long as they look good and are under 30!" she giggles.

Her favourite "squeeze" at the moment is a 22-year-old called Stone, who stares at his blonde prize like he has won the jackpot.

He says he doesn't work at the moment, but confides later he deals the "odd bag of ganja".

Peggy first came to Jamaica five years ago. Bored of life at home and going through a difficult divorce (her third), she was looking for something new when she was swept off her feet by Dean, a 24-year-old local man she met on the beach.

"He was lovely - so muscled and good-looking," she recalls. "I came back to visit him every three or four months. In the end I came out to be with him.

"We were together for three years before I finally realised he was just after my money."

She could have gone home when that relationship ended, but she had come to love the way of life so much she decided to give up her job as a children's carer in the UK and stay in Jamaica. "I sold my house and decided to open a bar here in Negril. Now I am doing pretty well," she says.

Peggy says she has wised up to the men in Jamaica and now simply uses them - but "not in a bad way".

"I am not going to settle down, not at the moment anyway. I'm not emotionally attached to any of them, and I like it that way."

At her bar, she tells me: "I can have my pick of men here - it's great. I often have half-a-dozen men hanging around my bar and all of them want to date me. They don't take no for an answer. I have had them fight over me."

But just what is it about the Jamaican male that is attracting such large numbers of British women? A recent report estimated as many as 80,000 women a year are making the trip over.

Peggy reckons it is their incessant flattery and sexual magnetism.

"They do make you feel good. They make you feel like you are the most special woman in the world. They say things like, 'My God woman, I have been waiting for you all my life', and, 'Hey cherrylips, be my wife!'"

Peggy knows many of the men she dates are hoping she will give them money or buy them gifts.

"But I know better now than to give them anything, I let them drive my jeep now and again or I give them a few free drinks.

Although I know a lot of women do shell out for all sorts of things like gold jewellery and watches."

But the no-strings sex has a darker side - the spread of Aids is becoming an increasing problem. The infection rate in the Caribbean is second only to sub-Saharan Africa. Peggy says: "I practise safe sex. I would be an idiot not to."

As for the reputation she might acquire back home, she doesn't give a hoot: "I don't care what people think. When I tell some of my friends back home, they are openmouthed... but I think they are actually a bit jealous."

One night we follow Peggy to The Jungle, Negril's biggest club. A sign warns that gigolos, prostitutes and pimps are barred and drugs are banned - but the club is full of men and women openly touting their bodies and the air is thick with the pungent smell of marijuana.

Hardcore porn plays on a big screen, while beautiful local women slowly gyrate to the reggae beats and men watch, puffing on supersized joints.

But the men flock around Peggy as soon as they see her - and it's a similar story when any white woman turns up alone.

Peggy loves it: "It's one big party here in Negril. It's never dull. I don't ever want to go home. I am having the time of my life. I have brought up four children.

I have been married three times. I have made lunch boxes, prepared endless dinners. Now it's my time."

Back at our hotel, a tour bus rolls in. A plane-load of weary travellers tumble out. Among them are a number of single British women, clutching their cases and with a gleam in their eye.

Jeanette, a 48-year-old from Middlesbrough, has just flown in alone from Gatwick. We meet her as she's about to head to a reggae beach bar called Alfred's Ocean Palace. The mum-of-one is here for 10 days and she only has one mission in mind.

"Sure, I've come for a little fun.

This is my third trip in two years. I've been single for five years, and this is where I come to let my hair down and indulge in a little escapism. I'm not the only one. I've met loads of other British women out here - and we are all looking for one thing!"

Another day, another dollar and it's game on again, in the hunt for "black bamboo".
