    All these new avatars have thrown me!

    A little stressed, yes I've put weight on and it's not good...getting married next year, and have ordered the dress from America. I tried it on last week and had a pot belly you could see, I just hope I can get rid of it before the big day. (Don't see how I will though as I'm either at work, driving to meetings for work, or on the laptop entering comps!!

    I think I either need to win one of those slendertone thingys or maybe some magic knickers!!!

    too many comps..not enough time!

    Its on the 3 for 2 on boots site, Baileys Mini Chocolate Fountain is the perfect after-dinner treat.
    A mini chocolate fountain with 2 Baileys minis, 5cl each, marshmellows and dipping sticks. Dipping chocolate not included.

    It just looks great , think it might be smaller than the usual sizes, never tried it though chocolate and baileys what a thought
