What about if the middle section is on show? (Middle of thighs to just below the nipples)

You'll get chilly! It's gone freezing now

then you're vulnerable to someone untying your belly button
and then you're bum might fall off
Last Thursday I started a sponsored slim in aid of a care scheme's social fund for the elderly. This will enable them to go on trips and also have special events arranged at the home itself. Last night was the first weigh-in since I started and over the last 7 days I've lost....11 POUNDS!!!
I've been asked about how I did it and if I'm honest it was a lot simpler than I thought it would be. It has taken some self control but it hasn't needed me to run a daily marathon or anything.
Foodwise my breakfast is about 60-70g museli with semi-skimmed milk and lunch is a chunky but tasty ham or chicken sandwich with no mayo on wholemeal bread with salad and possibly a nice low fat dressing. I sometimes have a chilli flavour dressing so even if it may seem fairly bland at first sight it has a bit of a kick.
Morning and afternoon snacks are either fruit or a couple of spicy crackers (no spread) and I've cut back on tea and coffee and skipped the sugar. I have a tiny bit in coffee but I drink tea mostly anyway. All in all I have half the hot drinks a day I used to and have replaced them with water and the occasional fruit juice.
Oh, I've probably also been helped by giving up wine and chocolate for Lent though I have had a couple of beers and a vodka and a diet coke. Tend not to drink during the week anyway.
For my evening meal it's again about being sensible in quantities - think about what you want and take 2-3 forkfulls off to lower your intake. Get plenty of veg, use low fat spray when frying anything and make sure that whatever you have it has flavour - bland is just boring.
Exercisewise I've been walking more by getting off at earlier bus stops and and taking some long routes to places if I need to go anywhere. Advance planning comes into that so you have make the time to do it - it's nice to get a bit of fresh air too. I was stunned by the amount I lost but it's clear to me that you don't have to go bonkers to make a difference.
Keys for me were to drink more water and less caffeine or fizzy drinks, replace snacks with something flavoursome or fruity, cut back on the alcohol a bit and walk a bit more. The final key is to choose a goal and have a reason to keep to it - mine is linked to a good cause and it has an end date so it will keep me focused. 
Just finished recording The Picture of Dorian Gray in a recording studio in an industrial estate. Next month, Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

In Spanish?
Godot.
There seems to be three online but only you and me showing.
Someone is wearing a burka.
You check upstairs and I'll look down here . . . .
Ben has gone and done a run with his legs. He now plans to write and buy a new shirt. Not at the same time obviously. He's not David Blaine or something.

In English for people learning English.
Right, it's bollocks to the internet for Ben and time for brunch.

Working in Trafalgar Square makes feel extra venom towards them. I accidentally pushed one into the road today and did not feel as remorseful as societal norms would dictate.
Anyway, thanks for the advice all re Dublin. I will definitely get the Day Pass. In the end, we settled for an apartment on the same street at the Guinness Museum/factory place. Because we are classy girls.
I am. I thought it was my head about the kids. The Loudness is ok but I don't like when they push in front of me, then don't move up when the line does. I also don't like people who don't step off the escaulator at the top or do but stand blocking everyone else. Not done much touristy stuff but enjoying myself. People at home don't belueve I've been here three times and never been to the tower or see changing of tge guard.
I only went to tge piers and the comedy carpet in blackpool. Was all foggy so not much point going up the tower.
loudness is ok but I don't like it when

Saddened to hear of the death of Clarissa Dickson Wright. A barrister who always marched to the beat of her own drum:

That's both fat ladies gone then. I guess by their very nature they weren't going to make old bones! As I'm not a fan of cooking programmes I didn't really get their popularity. Though on the way back from Manchester I passed her in a traffic jam. She was driving a Bentley and smoking a cigar! I half expected her to have a glass of malt whiskey in the other hand.
