    Have a good holiday Gen. Hope you have fun. Would've been nice to have met up with everyone, but sadly, circs won't allow at this time...
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    'sokay. There's always next time.

    Actually I plan to come at Xmas next time for an extended period, 5-6 weeks. I could probably be persuaded to watch a non-Spurs home game although I'll be visiting The Lane too, obviously.

    Things that make be bloat...bread and salad. Why did I put salad I between two pieces of parents whole meal for lunch? I feel like a walking balloon...was it not bad enough just to have saloon feet and legs?


    And for the nice women (I guess)

    Those trousers I have slimmed into are actually a bit of a night mare. They are like these but not that colour.

    The waist bit is sort of stretchy ( a little like maternity trousers!) but they look really much better than that sounds) but the thing is.....the stretchy bit isn't clingy enough so I have to keep pulling them up as they slide down. They aren't to tight, its a slip down rather than a roll down, nor are they too loose, they look just right on the non stretchy bits, a relaxed slouchy cut without being able to fit another person in there with me.

    Should I give up or is there a way to keep such clothing up? They feel so good.......but I don't want to keep pulling them up.

    I'm not a lady either Michaels, most of the time, but I'd use a belt. Only, these breeks just aren't made for 'un. The top part of them is soft and stretchy and foldable and has no belt loops.

    I was going to send you a saucy one but the moment has passed.

    Another day perhaps.

    Well....you know how I feel about you generali, I think you are just wonderful, but it would feel a bit odd.....incestuous.

    If on the other hand you think of a solution to my stretchy but slippery waisted trousers feel free to let me know.

    Some fabric stitched to the inside that has more friction. Linen would be an obvious choice but something stretchy may be better.
