Sometimes it's hard to be a woman.....

No, I haven't morphed into Tammy Wynette or anything but it's that time again.....red letter day..grrrrrr
It's a tough time, uncomfortable,sad, grumpy and thats just the other half!
Maybe a solution is a hysterectomy, do they do them at 38? I could just butcher my own uterus but I wouldn't know where it was.
Just adhere to the old adage, keep calm and carry on..and if you mess with me buster I'm gonna rip off your head and use your neck as a shopping basket!...breathe............

The Great Sumo Run 2011.....


Right, so my latest adventure is going to be participating in Battersea Park's great Sumo fun run  in June this year! No ,it's not an April Fools....Stop laughing at the back there....I'm required to don a Sumo suit and run a 5k trot around the park.
Bear in mind that I am no runner, my sport of choice is tennis as you know, short spurts of activity as opposed to long drawn out ones, thighs like Stuart Pearce are mine, not like spindly old Paula Radcliffe!
I don't know if my lungs are the size of 2 ping pong balls or I'm, just incredibly unfit but I don't seem to be overflowing in the stamina department. I just did a bit of practise round the block and could only sustain 2 minutes of actual running before my face turned a darker shade of puce and the sweat made me resemble a pig on a spit!
Anyway, onwards and upwards, I will continue with my ahem..training programme so I can accomplish this 5k run and try to not appear too jaded. I'm just waiting for all the jokes from sad onlookers when they ask me when I'm actually going to put on my sumo suit,(when I'm already wearing it) yeah like I normally run around the park with my blubber wobbling, bosoms a jangling and a mammoth baby's  nappy hoicked up into my nether regions....wheres that talc????
It's better to know some of the questions than all of the answers..
