I went shopping today with Julie to take my mind off the diet but easier said than done…
- So what are you buying today Ber?
- I need a new swimsuit
- Lets go over to Penneys so. Their bikinis are only a fiver. We can get one in every colour
- I won’t be wearing a bikini this year Julie
- Why not?
- I’d clear the beach in five seconds flat if I wore one of them
- Don’t exaggerate Bernie
- I’m not exaggerating, anyway, I think I’m too old now for bikinis. I might look in Arnotts for a one piece
- A one piece? You? Who are you? Your ma?
- We’re not teenagers anymore Julie. We need to start covering up
- Oh my god;you are your ma
- Ask me hoop Julie
- Come on…Arnotts it is so…
- We’re only looking anyway
- Look at this one Bernie. It’s like the ones we had when we went to Lloret de Mar
- That was 1980, and if I remember, ours didn’t cover as much as that Julie
- Me da, lord rest him nearly had a conniption when he saw it going into me suitcase. ‘You’ll be arrested going out in that’ says he
- We’d be arrested if we went out in that now Julie…and not for the same reasons.
- Dental floss, he called it, but we thought were only gorgeous
- We were gorgeous Julie. We hadn’t a pick on us back then
- We’re not so bad now Bernie, towards some of the eyebecks we’ve seen on the beach
- I suppose you’re right Julie, anyway, a few more weeks of starvation and we’ll fit into that no problem
- That’s the spirit Bernie. Do you want to go in and try it on?
- Let’s wait a while Julie, I’ve along way to go yet
At least I have something to motivate me now 😉

How I remember that song! I wouldn’t dare wear a bikini though even if I had a model figure…. far too much skin for me…

Whenever I see people wearing dental floss at the beach, I wonder why. It seems very uncomfortable!

Well, I can’t explain that one, but according to my girls, they’re not uncomfortable at all 😉

This right here is what we call a win/win scenario: either you hit your target and look fabulous in that bikini or you do indeed clear the beach, in which case… private beach, woohoo!
