Dear blog,

Sorry I've been neglecting you of late.

I don't really have a reason other than it's been cold here and a PC won't fit in the bed as well as a laptop.

Also I've been ...gasp....dieting and .... gasp....exercising.

The exercising is the hard part as I've got an achilles tendon complication so I have a little trampoline to bounce around on...

Ghastly sight. Sorry children's retinas....

All this because I have to fit into formal wear for a Bastille Day celebration at Hotel (S)wanky.

And I'd rather not have to hire a marquee for the occasion.

Please pray for me.

If I haven't made a dent in the number by July 6 then I'm not going and will be really disappointed and will have to wait till next year.

That is all.

Whenever I feel overweight I just think of Dawn French for a moments and then tuck into my cheeseburger and chips without any further worries.

Ann,

LOL.. I came home from the supermarket last night with food for the kids and a huge bag of lemons for me. I'm one step ahead of you, baby!

Brian,
That's also been my philosophy and as a result I now resemble Dawn French..... only not as cute...

Cute? you're more perceptive than that my dear - I bet the woman is a fkn barracuda.
I read Dear Fatty - her memoir.
Very revealing book, even before I got to the photo taken underwater of the French n Saunders GirrlGang totally nude in a pool.

I read that book too and was frightened to find myself so absorbed that I rode the train three stops too far, nodding sagely at her most poignant lines.
