It's certainly too hot to sleep. Much better to think about chocolate, but I can't go downstairs and eat any, because I've already cleaned my teeth. Unless i clean them again, of course.

...to my utter joy I've lost weight and I didn't even need to open the packet. The outfit fitted me beautifully. I'm going to take the knickers back on Monday for a refund.  Alternatively (according to Andy D's 891 on the Waffle Rides Again thread) you could donate then to a grateful City of Manchester Museum. The nation's heritage would I am sure be richer as a result. Glad to hear it all went well! |

They block my calls now, Andy. Apparently I was becoming what they called a "nuisance donor". Talk about gratitude  Nonetheless I am a Happy Bunny (to keep on topic). Have just returned from hearing the last of Paul Lewis's Beethoven Piano Sonata recitals (Op 109, 110 and 111) at t' Wigmore Hall. They were......jolly good. |

Sorry. No donations to museums! I want my £35.00 back. They looked extremely uncomfortable on the picture anyway.  So glad I didn't need them.  |

Yes well they are Trinny and Susannah's Magic Knickers - guaranteed to drop you a whole dress size. Needless to say, they look and I expect they are, excruciating. Not to mention ugly. Not something one would want to have to be cut out of after an accident. |

 This is the guilty pair. Don't they look smug? Oh and slim? |

Milly, did you buy the "bum lifter", the "bum, tum and thigh reducer" or the "tummy flattener thong"?!! I think I'll just stick to having a tubby tum. Magic knickers probably feel like those when-just-washed-struggled-to-do-them-up-jeans I used to wear - they certainly flattened your tum. I should be zzzzz. It's not too hot here. Goodnight, hope you get to sleep eventually. MJ xx |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

Andy D,
I love to have curtains in my bedroom like your trousers (translated as pants). Unfortunately this idea is better for child's bedroom.
Good morning. It is a beautiful day today. I watered my plants. One sunflower looks sad (I have three). May be it needed water.
Other plants are doing well. My black curant bush gave shoots and goosenberries did the same.
I have a small bay leaf plant and it is all right. My hearbs are ok.
I thought I share this happy news with you and it will make you happy too.

Morning t-p. You have been busy, I have been lazy but I have a busy day ahead so i don't feel so bad.
Not quiet so hot this morning so I hope I won't completely melt whilst playing my violin.. it is so embarrassing to end up as a puddle on the floor!!!

Milly, did you buy the "bum lifter", the "bum, tum and thigh reducer" or the "tummy flattener thong"?!! MJ xx MabelJane, I went the whole hog and bought the "bum, tum and thigh reducer". What a peculiar contraption! From the picture it would seem to come right up under the bust and halfway down each thigh. It looks like a strange sausage skin with legs. I needn't have worried. My dress hung on me - I had to pin it all down the front to hold it together! xx |

Well I think sizes are getting much bigger actually. A 10 now seems much bigger than when I was young. My clothes used to be really tiny in my youth - but now 10s and 12s are sometimes huge depending on the make. I remember trying on a Wallis size 8 coat and it must have been a good 14. My dress is a crossover and when I bought it, fitted tight and snug across the chest and tied with a long bow at the back, little jacket with it - super, but I felt it was just a bit clingy. When I came to wear it for the occasion I had to pin the crossover bit all the way down to hold it together. Life has been a bit stressful..... However, if it makes you all feel better - although it says size 10 - I think it has been sized generously. |
