I think I like shoes because they create a distraction. Like most women I would say I'm a funny shape. I am short and therefore my arms are not very long. I often have to role up sleeves because they are too long and at the same being short as well as plus size…

I like this picture, I've not been able to say that many times in my life. As someone who is 7st overweight I think tight fitting leggings with an oversized jumper helps. What do you think? I was going to do the recent 10 year challenge, but there really are …

Did our Mums make us who we are? Well that's easy - Yes and No lol. I'll explain! Was your Mum a good Mum or not? You see... my Mum was a chronic alcoholic and the pain from that runs deep and I will probably talk about this some more as the months g…

So at 15 I thought I was 'all that' who didn't? Then 10 years later I was a mum of two and still felt that I was 'sexy'..  Did you?  10 years after that I had 4 kids and family was everything. By 40 I was overweight but happy, sexy just wasn…

Oh wow, did I put that as a heading..... of course I did.. :) This is the point!! Another one of those things that bother us, the reason we hold our head unusually high when we take a picture etc.  I don't know what age we start to notice this?  I&…

I'd say I'm a plain Jane. I'm happiest in Black Jeans and a T-shirt. I like clean smooth lines, tidy work surfaces and cushions on my sofa - just so. In order to live with me you have to be a special kind of person. I never stop! I work on my business or…

Is it only me that wears the same old stuff every day? Are your jeans always too tight? Mine too? I resort to leggings and more recently jeggings ( I know - I'm so down with the kids lol !!). I think and you obviously will tell me what you think!!!...... that st…

Perception of yourself is an interesting topic. It has no indication of how you see other people. I will buy a magazine to look at the pictures of other people and their lives and now do the same thing on Instagram. I celebrate diversity, I enjoy seeing people expre…

So.... are you too small, too fat, too tall, too old? Me too... Come with me on a journey to discover how to love ourselves again I've got 4 kids and over the years piled on the weight. I am 4ft 11inches and weigh 201 lbs. I've got a mum tum, that i have…

I spent 10 years at Uni and never failed anything. I didn't need to do a resit and managed that while bringing up 4 young children and working full time. I work hard. Why 10 years? Well I started with a degree in Psychology and Law and then did Post Gradu…

About Me I grew up in Oxford UK, quite a posh place, so people tell me. I moved up north to Manchester where I met my husband. We have been together nearly 30 years. We have 4 children (all grown up), 2 grandchildren and 3 adoptive children (who live wit…
