I spent part of the weekend with a friend helping her to child mind. She’s living with another friend and in lieu of rent, she takes care of their son (7) and daughter (10) when mum and dad are away. Plus any little friends that visit.
Well, I managed one museum trip and a walk to the park and I’m crippled. The museum wrecked my mind (in particular the car trip) and I pulled a flipping groin muscle playing tag. Swings? No worries. Climbing frame? Watch me scale it. Changing direction while running? *twang*
So I got to bed nice and early on Sunday night. Genuinely tired. Fantastic. First time in a week.
Only every time I rolled over, the pain in my general nad area woke me up.
Then to cap everything, I dug a pair of trousers out of the wardrobe for work this morning. Nice ones, too. Not worn them for maybe 2 years at a guess.
At least 3 inches too small round the waist.
What was I saying before about work subsidising gym membership?

3 inches? But there’s nothing of you now? You must have been *really* skinny!
Unless you mean ‘man inches’, which translates 4 inches to 8 inches, so that would mean it was only really 1 and a half inches.
Blimey Mosh… I have trousers that won’t even do up around one leg in my wardrobe. One day I’ll fit into them again (he said, lying).
Burn them.
That’s what I’d do.
don’t forget the bit that usually lives inside but can be released by REALLY painful surgery if you’re desperate…
In the words of Carter USM.
You Fat Bastard!…….
26″ waist trousers? Not in your life, 36″ yes more than likely….
kids are great aren’t they??? lol 😉
Shhh, Anni – that’s supposed to be *secret*
