Conversation between number one son and me.
Him:- Why don't you ever go to the pub?
Me:- Because I can only drink water and your Dad doesn't drink. We would look a right sad pair with water and orange juice.
Him:- Why don't you stop the diet then?
Me:- I've still got loads to lose.
Him:- No you haven't, you're not overweight any more.
Me:- I bloody am
Him:- What? medically overweight. Just look at you, you're not!!
Me:- Awww that's the nicest thing anyones said to me all day.
Awww bless him. I am definitely still overweight, but this is the lightest he can remember (in 15 years). Still must get his eyesight checked though 
p.s yes I know you can enjoy yourself without a drink, and believe me I can. But I LIKE drinking dammit 
I was trying to hide it from my parents though, and was in size 14 skirt!!!!
Aw...the wee treasure - can you bottle his lovely comments and sell them to the wider market, S? ;o) Fab that you're the lightest he can remember you as though, missus, go for it girl! Tghere's a huge PINT of vodka in it for you - with diet tonic, of course - at the end of this journey! I'm buying! xx
