😆

Long story very short, DH died a year ago and I've spent most of that year saying yes to everything. TBH it's been brilliant, I should have done it years ago and it's saved me over these months.

So, I seem to have agreed to go to Palma in October, to run the Half Marathon and stay in a villa with pool, with 5 people I don't know particularly well, mixed sexes. Whilst I say I don't know them well, these are the people who were "aquaintances" before DH died, but have really stepped up and been there for me in a way that some of the people I thought were good friends weren't. We've had some fun trips and nights out, but they're newish friends.

I know there will be people who think this is their idea of hell and I'd have been one of them "before", but now I'm taking a what's the worst that can happen view, its only 3 nights if it's awful and it might be bloody brilliant.

Anyway, to the purpose of the post. I have exactly 100 days to be ready. HM training is fine, I ran 10m this morning, but what goes on under my clothes has been sadly neglected for a very long time 😆 I'm 52 and fit, but not well presented!

Fwiw this isn't only about the trip but it seems like a good target to get to grips with myself and give myself some TLC.

WWYD?

Wafting is so not me (or anyone else in the group) they'd think I'd been abducted by aliens.

Practical and comfortable, but just the right side of middle aged frumpy is the look I aim for 😆

New PJs is a good shout with a robe or cover up since you're sharing a house , breakfasting with friends.
