I had a belter yesterday

"You are very attractive....for your age"

"lovely photo, but it doesn't look anything like you"

I went into a small beauty parlour near where I work one day to ask about their facials. They asked what type I was interested in, so I asked what types they do. One of the assistants looked across at me and called out "anti-ageing".

I was chatting to my son, who is a personal trainer about my BMI - saying that on all these charts online I am obese.

He said 'Nah, I would never call you obese Mum - your just fat'

He runs very fast ....(;o(

He would be a great leader of men, if only they would follow him...
