    Evening chaps - I think the audition went OK

    How's HB feeling and why is YM getting a well done

    Scurries off to find out

    My pilates class was at the same time as the end of dd audition - so didn't make it - but my contribution to my lardloss this evening is not drinking a bottle of wine and saving 600 calories - therefore I am probably in exercise credit as pilates isnt that 'calorie hungry'

    Result.

    PS edit to say woo hoo YM well done on an AFD :)
