    Soappie - sorting through Nan's stuff and I found some documents with my Grandad's signature on (he died in 1992) it is really odd, I've never seen his signature

    That sort of thing can feel a bit odd. Save one of the signatures. Add it to his info.. xx

    Been there and done that only I was taking it out the oven to baste it at the time and had just put it on the hob above:eek:. I now only buy metal roasting pans or Pyrex oven dishes ;)

    Just sorting out my listing for Freecycle, hopefully 3 boxes of stuff, a suitcase full of stuff and two binbags of stuff will be leaving soon. No thats not all from this weeks clear out, some of it has been in the ebay pile since before Ex moved out! :eek::o

    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.
