AIBU to be really really proud of... myself..!!

[BathshebaKnickerStickers]

18 months ago I was a fat, dumpy 47 year old going into her first ever adult swimming lesson, unable to swim a stroke.

Today i’m Still a fat dumpy 48 year old who swum 100 25 metre lengths this afternoon in the Swimathon, raising around £400 in sponsorship money.

Tonight when my husband and children take me out for dinner, for once i’ll Feel I actually deserve my wine.

Wow... as someone who swims 5 lengths and has to stop, I hand you a huge fluffy towel. Well done YOU.

[LordNibbler]

Well done you. You could so easily have not done it, because it must have felt so difficult at 47 to learn how to swim. Enjoy your achievement, congratulations!
