No I missed the interview although I saw a preview.

I really like her although I don't have any of her music. I think she is great and I loved it when she was at the Aussie Olympic thing with all the drag queens. When you have the likes of Donna Summer who distanced herself from her gay following - blah blah blah AIDS blah blah blah - but Kylie doesn't forget she is an Icon for them. That was so cool and an opening night for the Olympics I shall never forget!!

I have a lot of time for the Pop pixie!

Mmmm. The French guy is back at work and brought back some more Pim's - the raspberry flavour jaffa cakes from France. Yum yum!

We don't have Sky. I think she's a complete star, and love her to bits. I didn't like her earlier muzak, but her later stuff I love. The only album I bought was Impossible Princess which bombed here, but did well in Oz.

I'm battling in the heat too. Off to the gym at work after I finish. I haven't been using my posh gym much, still deciding whether to date or ditch......I'll be glad of it in winter, but in summer I tend to do other things that full on gym work.

I should be so lucky... I didn't see it, but I have total respect for her too! I noticed in Grazia she is looking a lot healthier and like she's eating sandwiches!!!

Not too hot here, or maybe I'm not noticing it much. Off to the gym at lunch

I went for a run yesterday at about midday . Stupid I know, but I slept in in the morning, and had friends coming over at 2 so if I wanted to run then it had to be then. I came back the most amazing purple colour, it was impressive

I am going to my sister's graduation on Tuesday and Wednesday. The comment about the hall where she is graduating, is that it is hot when it is raining so I can't imagine what it will be like in this weather!

Only two days of work this week

I just walked to the post office and back and I'm not sure now that I'll be going to aerobics. TOO HOT!!!

OMG some old people are rude! I was struggling with four giant carrier bags full of eBay parcels along a narrow pavement with my iPod playing and one old boy who was hurtling along on his invalidity scooter on the pavement from behind me yelled 'move' at the last moment - my choice was to dive in to the hedge or jump in to the path of an oncoming car, I chose the hedge!

What is it with these scooter thingies - do they not have to have a licence/road tax - don't the normal road rules apply to them? It should be required that they take a test on them before allowing them out in public. The golden oldies in this area ride them on the pavements, in the park and on the roads - and expect cars and pedestrians (including little kids) to just hop out of the way. Arghhhhhh!

Rant over

Yes it's the old mentality that at least you HAVE your legs to be able to move - but common courtesy is sorely lacking with people in those scooters. They move really fast too. I think top speed is 10mph which is dangerous on pavements. They should be restricted to shuffling old man pace

Going back to US sizes it can be a bit of a minefield..some stores I am the same size as in the UK but most I am one size down.

I did the aerobics class - OMG it got hot! For some reason they can't turn off the radiators which made it worse. The instructor said if its like it again next week she'll take us outside in to the gardens - I wouldn't mind but I can't see some of the old dears enjoying doing crunches for all the world to see. Fantastic workout though.

10mph? Is that all those mobility scooters? It seems a lot faster when your being mowed down by one.

Most of the people who have got them in this area CAN walk but because of the distances between home / pub / post office / village shop prefer not to. TBH, in this heat I can't blame them - but it would be nice if they were a little more considerate to other people. After all, its that generation that are always slagging off anyone younger for not having any manners.

Thanks for that. I like them...
trouble is like I said before, where my belly has overhung for years, I have discolouration at the top of my legs... so I am aiming for low legged or a skirt to hide that. I did find this one http://tinyurl.com/mhgyd which is nice. But look at the flippin' price!
I'll try the gym for a bit me thinks... before I attempt the swimming thing.

My thighs are just massive. I'm hoping my little gym stint will help with that.

I'm ok with the leg thing, i'm pretty tall... 5'9... so that's cool... they're just really really fat! My weight seems to be slipping head down.. i'm still huge from belly downwards.

Thanks for the offer, i'll think about it when i've thought some more about whether I want to put on a brave face and go swimming...

That's a lot like the suit I got in TK MAxx although mine has Addidas racing stripes at the side. The price looks reasonable to me, that's in Euros so that's around £28. If you were a little bunny you might be wanting a Roxy swimsuit at £40!!!!

I find unless you get lucky at TK Maxx or in a Debenhams sale, you get what you pay for with swimsuits.

I have that discolouration under my....ahem....boobs. So I know how you feel, but no one will notice, they'll be too busy looking at your pretty face!!!!

Just think how much more you and David Walliams will have in common once your swimming regularly.......maybe not quite doing a tandem swim across the Channel, but you never know

Poor Sarah Ann!

My mum has one of those scooters but has only used it a few times. She is scared of it. She can only go out with my Dad and he walks really fast and she has little or no balance and feels she will tip up at any time. I am hoping she will go out more now the weather is good. Don't worry, you are quite safe up there in Yorkshire. She is 'Darn Sarf' - Near Bealieu to be exact, Southampton.

Hello hello!

Well I got me to kickboxing, kickboxed 3, yes 3 little girls. That covers the cost of the hall I was doing the class with them and I was sweating buckets by the end! They weren't. Obviously too hot for them to move. They were slacking big time, but it does take a lot of discipline in this heat to even THINK about exercising!

I'm off to me gym at lunch Nearly lunch time now! Spent the morning helping our American student get a train into London and sort out her mobile. I am now left with a crappy mobile that doesn't register much signal It's SO rubbish! I need to find a spare one that someone's not using! Been ringing round the parents and friends!

Training tonight, day two of the bonkers exercise week Just gotta get my eating straight for 90% of the time and I should be well on my weigh

My dad is threatening to get a scooter, but he's really down sarf - Tasmania!!!! He'd be terrible. I nearly threw a party when his drivers licence got taken off him.

I went to the gym last night. Might try for a run tonight. I got a belt to stick my ventolin and bus pass in. I managed to lose my bus pass, and thought it was lost forever, but it turned up at the bus depot and they're posting it out! Yippee!

I need a holiday.
