thankyou every one... size 26 that i had to squeeze into seems like forever ago now... went for a coffee with my mum and she noticed a large lady in the queue in front of us and said.... do you know that pretty much how you looked .... so i looked a little closer and she was much larger than i actually ever saw myself in the mirror....probably because i only looked in the mirror from the shoulders upwards!!
thanks again everyone for your kind comments xxx
