Oh lads this could only happen to me! This evening my youngest son phoned & asked to borrow E200. Was already in bed but told him to call & give me a spin to the ATM & he could have it. Got up (sleep in my skin) & threw on Track suit bottoms, T shirt, runners & jacket. Son came & took me to ATM & on the way back I asked him to take me to the local supermarket for some bits. I was a bit preocupied about how I was going to manage (had forgotten to bring my walking stick,another story for another time)and forgot about the track suit bottoms. Am still peg fed and have lost quite a bit of weight, understatement!, but apart from one or two new items refust to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe, I am determined to gain some weight back sometime. Anyhow not thinking except for what I needed and if the task could be accomplished before I fell over due to lack of stick, well got to isle three and oh hell! NOT only did I manage the 'builders bum' the tracksuit bottoms were down to the knees before I had time to catch them!! Ladies & Gents this was in a main supermarket in Cork City on a still busy Saturday evening! If any of you read anything in the Sundays about a 'Bare Assed, 49 year old Granny' well folks it was me.(suggestion no 1 to myself for this week. If I'm to stingy & or stubborn to buy some clothes that fit, buy some braces. suggestion no 2. Send this to my ex & remind him of my finer points!!!! ha ha. Any other suggestions just for the 'craic' as is said in Cork?

Good Morning Susan,
You posting beats any of the jokes I have recorded on this forum. As super star of the in- store entertainment I bet you were a sensation.The supermarket will be mobbed next week in the hope of a follow up.You should have a word with the manager, I think last nights performance was worth a trolley full of goodies.
I see that you and I have more in common than a medical problem and a love of red wine we are both able to laugh at ourselves,and if you can't laugh at yourself you have no right to laugh at anyone else.I recall a line from one of Foster & Allen's songs:- "Something foolish happens and you'll see in the middle of it all there's me". Usually the "me" in this song is the one writing this message!
Susan, with this approach to life you will get well again, I really hope it is soon.Please keep sending postings, as I said before you are like a breath of fresh air.
Keep Smiling
John
