A couple of snaps and a resolution to blog more!

The wonderful Claire at Monkey Fatshionista is organising the second London Bloggers Meetup - Plus London Two and I really want to go - I read all about it last year and, having met a few of the wonderful women who write such amazing blogs, I'm hoping I get to go! One thing you need to be is a blogger - and though I started this back in September, I've been rubbish at posting on it. My life is a bit chaotic! So here's an attempt to keep posting - a couple of outfits - a sparkly purple top I haven't worn for ages as it made me look pregnant....but now it sits much nicer - (not a great pic though)

I wore it to a Netmums Christmas gathering last night and it was great - very festive and lots of sushi!

I've lost quite a bit of weight this year, mainly to get healthier - I got diagnosed with Type II diabetes in November 2010 and was told if I lost weight it would probably go as I was only just over the normal blood sugar limit. Well 43lbs off since then and it has! Hoorah! I feel a lot better too. But I'm still a big girl and I love that the other fatshion blogs I read inspire me to dress better!

Second pic is a top my friend Clare gave me since she's also lost a load of weight. It's a boden top - I've never worn Boden before so I'm not sure - it feels a bit tight and it's horizontal stripes which my brain keeps shouting "NO" at me - but I like it -I like the length. Not sure though so anyone if you're reading this - whaddya think?
