Last weekend I had another fantastic time at SWIG. They seem to get better every time and I think it's the best laugh I ever have. The theme this time was country and straight away I thought of a little horsey costume I had seen at Spotlight. It was a bit pricey at fifty dollars, but I knew Emily would just love it when I had finished with it so I bought it along with a funky cowboy hat. Despite it clearly stating on the packaging that it was for 3 to 5 year olds I was certain the stretchy fabric would allow me to get it on no worries. WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!! When I couldn't get it up over my bum I pulled it over my head instead and got seriously and totally wedged with my arms up stretched over my head making it difficult to breath. Home alone I had visions of trying to make an emergency call to Martin which would have been no easy task as my head was covered and I could't see...in the end I had to resort to ripping my way out of the costume Incredible Hulk style. Poor horsey was disembowelled and I had to leave him that way until after SWIG. He has now been repaired and Emily loves him!
I have been disgusted in myself lately as I am 12 kilos heavier than I was this time last year and gain a bit more weight each week. I think it's time to do something about it....Mind you the irony of that statement is I am sitting here eating fruit and nut chocolate washed down with a Nescafe latte! I hate the thought of another summer sweltering because I am too embarrassed to go in the pool. If any other half hearted people out there are interested in joining me in cyber weight loss let me know...I need a bit of back up...
