aunt has just sent me some photos from last year on teh beach. I was 4months post natal.

Bloody hell black bikinis do nothing for overweight white women do they?

legs look ok but droopy knockers and under bra strap ripples

sq - oh yes. Wouldn't be seen dead in a bikini now, even alone in the house, but there was NOTHING WRONG WITH ME in my 20's.

Twink · 21/05/2004 22:13

Tinker, at least you could have had 'stiff' lower upper arms if you'd done your bottle raises , but you never joined Sgt Beetroot's sit-up club..

Anyway, thanks for the lack of footie jibes recently, we have deserved them, but hope for a better performance tomorrow.
