Here's a little ditty sent from Mumsie T. Let's just say it struck a certain chord here in the Lock household (oh dear)...
‘Twas the month after Christmas and all through the house
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse!
The stuffing I’d nibble, the turkey I’d taste
The yummies I’d eaten, gone straight to my waist!
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse!
The stuffing I’d nibble, the turkey I’d taste
The yummies I’d eaten, gone straight to my waist!
The wine and the mince pies, the bread and the cheese
I should have just said, “No thankyou – please”
I should have just said, “No thankyou – please”
So as I dressed myself in my boyfriend’s old shirt,
I couldn’t believe my bottom… my belly… the girth!
I said to myself, as only I can, “You can’t spend the year disguised as a man!”
So away with the last of the sour-cream dip,
Get rid of the fruitcake, every cracker and chip.
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
Until all the additional ounces have vanished.

Until all the additional ounces have vanished.
I won’t have a cookie, not even a lick 
Instead I’ll chew on a long celery stick.
I won’t have Irish coffees, or chocolates, or pie,
I’ll munch on a carrot and quietly cry:
“I’m hungry, I’m lonesome, and life is a bore…
But isn’t that what January’s for?”
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot,

Unable to giggle, no longer a riot,
Happy New Year to all, and to all a good diet.

Hello you three! Finally got back into my hotmail and picked up your blog details - what a fab idea and lovely to see such lovely piccies of what you've been upto.
Thankyou so much for my lovely pewter birthday gifts - you never fail to make me cry - I couldn't even read the card out to Andrew as I was snivelling that much!
Loads of love Claire x
