Too many spanners in the works
The straw has broken the camel’s back yet again.
I tried on my only posh frock last night and it didn’t fit me anymore. I’m officially taking another sabbatical from this project until my broken foot heals and I can exercise again. Until then the horizon is lined with salad leaves.
I look forward to having my evenings back for a while and some spare cash to spend on xmas presents.
However, look! I discovered how to make a random post button (top right).
This means you can catch up on all the extremely hilarious posts you never bothered to read before.

I've always found it funny when people write letters to the Guardian's Weekend magazine complaining that the recipe ingredients are too middle class and the fashion only looks good on thin people. After all, it's just a magazine. Or is it? I decided to follow its recipes, fashion and lifestyle advice as closely as possible, to see if the aspirations promoted therein can really be achieved by the average reader who is not especially wealthy, not necessarily model thin and is obliged to work regular office hours. This blog has no affiliation whatsoever with the Guardian but I link to the Weekend magazine website for the purposes of illustration.

Two suggestions to help with motivation to loose weight:
1. imagine every extra pound as 2 packets of butter spread over your body – or just stuck on your stomach (which is where I carry any extra)
2. I read the other day that Kate Moss said, ‘nothing tastes as good as skinny feels’
I’m not a big KM fan, but I kind of like the quote.
