Hi there, I've managed another calendar today, if I dont get a move on January will soon be gone if it goes as quick as last year.
My last day off work today, been shopping this morning looking for a swimsuit, I'm on a keep fit drive, years ago I had one with a skirt attatched and I fancied one like that, maybe sleeves to cover my arm wings, oh and legs to cover the cellulite, oh and maybe a girdle to pull my bum and tum in a bit (lot), I think I might be looking for a long while. Dave says I need one of those Victorian ones, hes not far wrong actually.
