My sister - she always tells me that I look as though I've lost weight... I say no, still the same/put on a stone, whatever... she says... well you don't look as huge as that, so stop worrying about it... then asks to use my scales... I stamp off and dig them out from wherever I have chucked them... and then she wails... I knew I'd put on weight.... look at the size of my stomach... I've put on a whole two pounds.... she weighs around 9 stone, lol!! I am a good bit bigger than that!! lol!!

My OH was lying in bed the other day whilst I was getting ready to go out and he said "when you think about it you are quite pretty!"

I didnt know whether to laugh, cry or lamp him one!

When we were away she said after a meal.

"That was really nice Pen.........



but when you are hungry you'll eat anything!"




over Christmas


"That was nice today!"

She had stayed for nearly a week - what was wrong with the other days!
