My friend has now told me afterwards, she said;
"Margaret looks like a really trendy Mum now doesn't she?"
My friend says she wasn't sure what her daughter thought previously (and its probably best not to ask lol) but I consider it to be a real compliment coming from someone within an age group that will be so influenced by media etc.
One of the reasons I am doing this is because I want to set a proper example for my daughter, she's only 2 just now but she'll be a teenager one day (probably far too soon for my liking!) it hadn't occured to me I can actually be a good example to other young people we know. I'm pleased that my friends 15 yr old likes how I look as I was starting to be concerned that all teenagers were aspiring to size zero (needless to say I'll never be that nor do I want to).
anyway, quite excited to be thought of as trendy lol!
