    But isn't burlesque about being beautiful as you are regardless of size?

    quite probably, yes..........but still........i'm still rather extreme!!!

    Have to say Pepe, before I met my OH, I'd never really had any comments about my 'prowess' ;) although I knew I was very overweight. I have to confess I had 3 other offers on the table when I met my OH to varying degrees (including 1 who spent a whole evening trying to convince me to be with him instead even though he was married!! :eek: ) The reality is though, I am very, very overweight and even losing 6 or 7 stone is only part of the journey!! I kind of think I'm the equivalent of someone with about 80k debt if a DFW kind of comparison can be made - such a huge mountain to climb, lots of thoughts of 'i'll never make it, so what's the point' and lots of falling off the wagon along the way!!

    Anyway - I'm going to stop hijacking I_A's diary now!!

  • The theme we're doing is based on Mina from Bram Stokers Dracula. So it's going to be all victorian and elegant... can't wait :D

    Sounds fantastic, you are going to look stunning!

    Oooh some good news! This morning I recieved £50 from IS as a cold weather payment :D

    Bloody well need it and all, if your planning on wearing as little as that link suggests. Now what's wrong with a nice pair of thermals and a woolly hat?

  • Morning all. I would say it was an uneventful day yesterday hence the no update but it was quite the opposite! I know have a big gaping hole in my ceiling due to a leak from the immersion heater. Waiting for the heating engineers to come a replace my immersion heater today, then have to leave the ceiling open over the weekend to leave all the boards and ceiling joists to dry out as they were soaked. :eek: Then having the ceiling redone on monday. What a nightmare!
    Not many plans for today. Usual housework and bits and bobs during the day, then tonight I'm off out to the cinema and having a 'jam' night with guitar and bass with the 'aforementioned friend' rather than going to the pub. The tomorrow day we're going birmingham shopping to try and get the last bits for my Mina outfit, followed by bowling in the evening. :) Looking forward to it. Would like to go to the pub and see friends but will be good to spend some quality time with my mate after all that's happened recently. :) We're getting on much better now like we were before so getting there :)
    Right just off to do me budget. In a bit!
