  • Good Morning Lovely Ladies 

    How are we all.  hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.  I had a lovely time, didn't overindulge too much but I have to confess I do feel rather plump.  Something which needs to be addressed asap, lol.  

    We went to Chatsworth on the 27th and I hate to admit it but I struggled a bit with the walking and all those stairs.  It was a bit of a wake up call if I'm honest and I am now doubly resolved that in 2025 I will tackle my weight and a few minor health niggles that I have been ignoring.  

    No more procrastination.  🤣😂.  

    Anyway I hope you all have a lovely New Year's Eve and I'll see you on a new thread next year.  💕
  • Ooh, do put a link to your new thread so we can find you.  I am going to be more strict with myself next year, with regard eating and exercise etc, so if I post my intentions I might stick to it a bit more.  
    Happy New Year
