h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I had been feeling rather pleased with myself! Since my little medical hiccough last June/July (whenever it was) and following the advice of the MD to; amongst other things, lose weight, I have now lost over three stones.

SS is not altogether best pleased with the amount of readies I am costing in new clothes; but there you go So! I decided to treat myself to a pair of shorts. After all, the Summer is just around the corner (or so I keep telling myself). I went into a well known high street store and purchased a pair of shorts/black/Scorp for the use of; size 14. Yippeeeee - considering I was a size 20 when I started, I don't think that's bad going.

On telephoning number one Daughter with the news, she said "Oh Mother! I hope you haven't bought something horrendous Why didn't you wait for me to come with you?"

However, when she got home and had a look at my purchase, she burst into fits of laughter. Now what have I done wrong I wondered; but no! apparently what I have chosen is 'THE thing' to be seen in this year

I love it when a plan comes together

Well done, scorp, yay

Scorp,

Well done That is spectacular

It is especially impressive as I know you like your food. What is your secret? I am trying, and have lost a bit, and exercise, mainly walking, seems to work for me, but it is really hard.

I love the way daughters/sons say "Oh, Mother" when we have done something potentially shocking or embarrassing. Mine do it too!!

I won't ask what 'the thing' to be seen in is, because I haven't got further than a tent to cover the bumps yet!!!!

Anyway, well done, keep it up and have a brilliant summer.

I am desperate to lose some weight..i started gettng breatheless occasionally
I hope you're going to reveal your secret...but i can't do any exercising bits...unless i'm sat down to do them!!!!
Well done on the shorts...i wear them all summer,but remember i only go out a lot when were on holiday!!!And its not a pleasant site!!!

I shall look forward to seeing the shorts when you come here in october I look stupid in shorts,the top half of me is sturdy,to say the least,the lower half,puney.My legs in shorts look like two bits of knotted string dangling down

If I'm really lucky, mine might be too big by then

I'll look forward to hearing your diet tips
