My eyes!' <br /><br />I really do think people believe that if they can squeeze into it, they must actually be a size 4 or whatever. Score one for good self-esteem. Wish I had the confidence to pull off hot pants, although maybe when I'm that age, I'll know I look ridiculous but I just won't care.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704845146768729518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-60365138376145659342010-05-11T14:18:26.089+01:002010-05-11T14:18:26.089+01:00Milton – no worries!

Only time will tell.<br /><br />Old Kitty – She was definitely missing a few marbles. Hot choc and drambuie? Now I am thinking of a nice Irish coffee. Also very slimming!<br /><br />Nf1andprek-whisper – Ah thank you! You are very welcome. I do usually try and reply quicker than this!<br /><br />Lydia – She seemed quite happy. Everyone around her seemed a bit shocked!<br /><br />Jen – cool! My work here is done. :)<br /><br />Arlee Bird – I lost an hour to the People of Walmart website. A whole hour! Thanks for that. :)<br /><br />Carol – oh my – she’s everywhere!<br /><br />Plain Jane - ah thanks! Herb tea like fire? I am thinking spicy cinnamon for some reason. And thanks for the tag – you’ve seen my post now I think. :)<br /><br />Elana – I certainly need some ‘front’ like that!<br /><br />Happy Frog – cool! I like to think I will be sophisticated too, with a touch of the ‘when I am an old woman I shall wear purple’ going on. Actually maybe that was what that woman was thinking. Oh no – it could be me!<br /><br />Jemi – I think they just think they are fabulous!<br /><br />Susan – hahahaha! No, I must abstain from sugar! Especially with all the sugary stuff I eat.<br /><br />Al – I totally wish I was that brave.<br /><br />Rose – Glad you liked! I actually do like peppermint – the Moroccan way though is gorgeous (especially with sugar). I don’t think I could possibly do the nettles – green tea is bad enough (yet so good for you, apparently)<br /><br />Alex – hee! Spice Girls! You youngster. :)<br /><br />Ev – oh that is so funny! You must blog about it!Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-55646619018625970232010-05-11T14:16:40.078+01:002010-05-11T14:16:40.078+01:00Crystal – glad it made you giggle!

Herbal teas, you are so busted!<br /><br />Wendy – no problem!<br /><br />Anne – I sort of think she was more ‘past caring’ than mod!<br /><br />Aubrie – Too scared to get a pic! Good luck with those sit ups.<br /><br />Talli – Glad you liked!<br /><br />Kittie – I sympathise. I am truly the worst dieter. I take on the Look of Despair if I try.<br /><br />KarenG – Ah... true! Without glasses the world is a softer place.<br /><br />Joanne – Plain green? Impressive! Although green tea and jasmine is getting a tentative thumbs up.<br /><br />Julie – Hee! Glad it made you chuckle. My favourite tea is the colour of beige with two sugars. I will never be skinny.<br /><br />Fran – I fear my tummy is listening to you.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-73426892985643670512010-05-06T21:08:37.993+01:002010-05-06T21:08:37.993+01:00What a great post Jayne!

I'll never forget them mainly because Paul Hewson ( aka Bono) called me 'fat-arse' when I walked up the road in all my glory. Me Da went out and chased him around the green! That's my claim to fame anyway, must blog on it.Evhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336006621499332354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-49004527358857531652010-05-06T18:41:14.095+01:002010-05-06T18:41:14.095+01:00I sympathise - I end up buying Himalayan salt and ...I sympathise - I end up buying Himalayan salt and Peruvian sugar - only to discover that it costs as much as a month's rent.<br /><br />I have to confess that I have worn hot pants - but I was 11.
