    Bigbum - I do smile whenever I see a post from you - just because of your name. it's fab:rotfl::rotfl:

    lol :p. Unfortunately, it's not an attractive big bum in the J-Lo/Beyonce sense either, more beached whale/stranded hippo sense :rolleyes: :p.

    Oh, the woes of being 'big-boned' woman :o. lol

    You're name summons up some svelte and sexy raven-haired beauty. And i'm sure it's an accurate description of you too ;):D

    Have a good evening :)

    Hello!

    Didn't manage playground yesterday as it was raining on and off. This means that my washing also is still soaking wet. Also yesterday NSD as we didn't manage to get out of the house (round of bad tummies - now ok). Today only bought some chocolate for the journey to the course. Paid course from my secret stash (=dog walking money)

    I had fantastic day at the course. Really inspiring!!!!! We all brought something to eat for lunch and then shared. It was really nice and even my "panic pasta" or should I say "midnight madness" went down well. And I have some left for supper after I can get DD to settle down. She is taking full advantage from the fact that I have lost my voice. (Too much singing in the car on the way to the course and did get soaked and chilled to the bone this morning as well).

    That's it from here for today. Great news all and well done!!!!

    Catch up tomorrow....
