January 2011 Archives

I thought I'd wait for a little while before I shared with you my recent venture into television.
This is partly due to;

a) My realisation and despair at having put on a stone in the past year and without going on TV, which we all know makes you look 10lbs heavier, I already feel like a complete heffer (despite my recent gym efforts).

b) The subject was about dating. Or lack of, in my case.

Now before I go any further, I'd just like to clarify that although the show was talking about dating problems, my point was that I don't have dating problems, there just aren't any nice men to go on dates with. You could almost call it the Bridget Jones factor, except I'm not 30 yet (phew), I'm not quite a size 14, I don't get caught out wearing bunny costumes at weddings where everyone else is dressed normally, and quite frankly, I don't go home and cry whilst glugging an entire bottle of red wine because being single depresses me so much; I prefer white... (note - this is a joke, ie funny haha - I don't do this at all. Wine quaffing happens in social situations when I am not trying to do a January booze detox).

I'm on a January detox; I've given up alcohol for the entire month. So I was going to talk to you all about new year detoxes, getting fit and healthy, losing weight yada yada yada, but then I thought "why would I do that when every other blog, article or column is doing exactly the same?" so I've found something even more unattainable to talk to you about instead. Unattainable if you don't own a small fortune that is. Not that I'm trying to poo-poo your new year detox and weightloss efforts before they've even begun (remember - I am doing the same) but come on, we're all human, we all make promises to ourselves every year and every year the majority of us fail to keep them. Maybe I shouldn't say fail - it apparently promotes negative vibes around your mind and self worth, or something like that.
