    Squizz that sounds like fun...can I come?

    Course :D The only bit I'm a little hesitant about is the overnight train, there's only two of us at that stage and we're in a 6 person 'cabin', so could be stuck with nutters/ people who snore/ axe murderers :eek: Other than that I'm so excited, first time I've had a whole fortnight off in about 5 years!

    Louise, the bikini is v nice - and I'm sure you're exaggerating!! I bought a tankini cos I couldn't face the idea of my stomach being out in public, although even that doesn't leave much to the imagination so yep I'm going to be sit-upping like mad!

    Have you got any specific targets for the fortnight, or just 'don't eat crap and do lots of sit-ups'?

    So beware! I thought that only happened with white bikinis.:o


    I think I just might have a shower in this silver one then:D for testing purposes and let OH be the judge of whether I am decent or not.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Well I would just like to loose about 4 lbs if I can and tone up a bit. I have a pilates set with some resistance bands and I might do some Yoga excercises to strengthen my back a bit ready for the rollercoasters as the last thing I need is my disc to pop out again:eek:

    Failing that the "dont eat crap and do lots of sit ups" will be go, go, go:D

    Think I'm aiming about 4-5lbs as well. Am trying a combination of 'don't eat crap' along with lots of walking, pilates ball and bands and exercises from New York Ballet Workout (sort of ballet/ pilates/ yoga).

    And nope we don't want anything popping out! :eek::rotfl:
