Last Friday I became a Granny and am now Granny Annie. :-\ 

I've only met you once but you didn't seem old enough to be a granny.............

Congratulations  :thumbsup:

I'm in the BA lounge, glass of champagne in my hand and there's beach volleyball on the TV.

Just need an upgrade....

I have just bought a pair of size 8 shorts and they fit.  Just need to loose another half a stone now!

They were most probably a small size 10 than rather a correct size 8. I'm not likely to waste away yet. My boobs are still growing. So even if I achieve size eight skirts and trousers, I'll still need bigger tops :-s

We are now camping in the Peak District. It looks like I have mastered the new BBQ. Tomorrow we hit the Tissington Trail.

First week of cycle commuting completed this week ... well, I'm not home yet so almost completed I should say.

It is actually very easy (easier than I'd thought) and I wish I'd started earlier in the summer...

I'm going to be taken away for a few days :)


And not by aliens, or the men in white coats ;)

Upgraded :D

So even though I've missed the FNRttC now I can get home from Chicago without feeling as if I'd done it

Have just finished reading this book. I believe I am now ready to quit drinking completely and permanently. The author told me to have a final drink to celebrate and to remind myself of the reasons not drink. I bought the cheapest bottle of wine I could find. It tastes foul.
