I'm making slow and steady progress in the livingroom. Just downloaded the latest Turbolister so I know its fully up-to-date and no rubbish
Currently sorting through the ebay pile and I need to bring a suitcase of stuff down from my room which contains more stuff to go, and I'm pretty sure there's some clothes of DD's in the airing cupboard that should go... will have to check. I hope I can remember my Yahoo password to log into Freecycle :rotfl:

PrincessJane ~~ wow, where do you get the energy from? I bet your leg muscles are good.
Thanks y'all for the kinds words.
They are OK I guess - I still gaze mournfully at my thighs in the full length mirror like everyone else!
I can recommend pole dancing classes for all - loads of fun and great for fitness and confidence.
Nonsense about having to be slim and busty. I am naturally skinnymalink, but one of the sexiest girls in my class was a 14-16, v curvy with huge puppies.
TBH when you are skinny you can look like a daddy long legs round the pole, all lanky arms and legs, curves better anyday.DEBT FREE! Sep '08/£9,800 in Oct '06 :beer:0
