The preparation takes months and then ......whoosh......Christmas is gone.

I have no room left for food in this flabby old body of mine, and depressed myself today because I was (against my will and better judgement) with my daughter in (whisper it low...it is embarrassing) topshop and was encouraged to try on a top....and yes I also think that it was silly for me to even be in topshop and even more ridiculous to think that something in there could fit me......and I had forgotten the evil mirrors and harsh lighting and noise and heat and found myself thinking 'they do skimp on the material for these sleeves...this top is a bit tight'...and then realised that of course I am just fat and old. Anyway...my beautiful daughter came away from town with some goodies and I resolved to become thin and fit this coming year...YEAH RIGHT!!!

I'm also going to find a cure for cancer and establish world peace......
