that is too true! My friends and i where talking of exactly that on thursday eve…saying how beautiful and thin we where 5 years ago and how fat and frumpy we all are now and bloody hell what are we going to look like in another 5 years…frankly shocking! We should ignore the media and as long as we arent bed ridden with weight we should be happy and love the glamourousness(i knw thats not a word but you know what i mean!) of where we are at right now. Thanks for reminding us:) x

This made me laugh and cry. Love the whole “don’t shave your legs with your Dad’s razor.” I did that, too! Maybe it’s a rite of passage for teenage girls??
Your daughter is lucky to have you as a mom. This is an INCREDIBLE list. Well done.

Thanku all! I must add tho, that I dont think the whole bikini situation is quite as good as it used to be! I have a nice pair of baby induced muffin tops to contend with now ;D!
And if you have any advise to add, i’d love to share it with Ellie (a young girl cant have enough good advise, right?) And I know you guys are all probably alot wiser than me! xxxx

I am that 10 years older than you are now and you are sooooo right, when I look at pics of me just 5 years ago I was gorgeous compared to how I look now (or how I feel I look now)! It’s a girl thing! we always think we could look better, or when looking back did look better. Your advice is wonderful I hope she listens to you and appreciates what a fab mum you are. My guess is if she is anything like my 15 yr old son, she won’t at the moment. But you can bet your bottom dollar (whatever that means) that she will look back on this living diary in the years to come and appreciate how much you love her ! Big hugs darling, darling girl xxx
