You are going to look fab for your holiday. All the better for getting your stuff at bargain prices.

Thanks Chanie, I will do my best to look fab every day of my holiday. The healthy eating and the daily exercise will make a difference.

Chanie I am going to make the effort for myself rather than for anyone else's benefit.

The healthy eating and the daily exercise are having a positive result. I now have more items of clothing that can fit me than 23 days ago. :j

I have rediscovered so many gorgeous pieces of clothing that I forgotten that I owned.

I am going to have a real job trying to choose what to pack in my suitcase come May.
