Well, it was a sight of neither style nor beauty, but of great determination and stamina. Please reward my efforts

I have today spent quite some considerable time levering myself into my new swimming costume. I mean, seriously, it took bloody ages and cost me a fingernail. When I finally forced my way into it I must have used up as many calories as I would have done had I gone running. Is it worth it I ask you all (especially as I still looked distinctly heifer like).

Is it a hold you in one?

Need a photo!

Yes, its meant to be a hold you in one, I couldn't bend in the middle and the end effect was less than pleasing. And, Deuce, the phrase "never in a million years" springs to mind - you wouldnt thank me anyway

I've got a Miraclesuit one - its amazing. Talk about washboard stomach - but no bulgy legs or anything. Boobs under chin. Nearly 100 smackeroonies but worth it for sure. Very chic too - sort of drapey stuff round the boobs and subtle ruching (which is slimming if that is possible!). Impeccable cut round the legs too - gives great shape!

oh sloany i want your swimsuit!!

Wow, that sounds like just the thing Sloany. Too late for me now though - me and the instrument of torture swimming costume are off on our hols tomorrow (if I decide to let it into the suitcase that is)

Oh Sal, that sounds painful. Better not take the suit with me then, in case it has the same effect on me.
