Wonderful news about the clear lungs, scrumper! 
Toning really should help - but please be very careful if you're having breathing problems, especially if you intend to do any cardio.
Pilates is very good for toning, but I'd highly recommend that you attend a class at first because you really need to get the correct breathing and positioning (helps prevent injuries and makes the exercises so much more effective). Then you can buy DVD's to use at home whenever you want. Varying them is good, so that your body doesn't become too used to one particular routine. I find the Stott Pilates series to be excellent, and they're great at helping you with performing the exercises correctly. They're available on amazon - but be sure to choose the DVD Region 2 version for playing in the UK, otherwise you'll end up with North American Region 1.
Walking is good for toning the legs. You can do it outside, but there are also "in-home walking" DVD's. These combine walking with exercises and can be pretty effective. I'm currently using a Lesley Sansone DVD called "Walk Away the Pounds: Ultimate Collection". It has 4 routines - 1 mile, 2 miles, 3 miles and 4 miles. This involves brisk walking, incorporating various exercises whilst walking and the use of a resistance band (one was included with the DVD I bought). So you can build up as your stamina improves. Also great for bad weather days when you might not fancy walking outdoors. Again, these are available on amazon - but only for Region 1 (North American), which you will only be able to play in the UK if you have a region-free DVD player.
Exercises such as squats and lunges are also great for toning legs and buttocks. Be sure to always warm up and then stretch afterwards, though, so that you don't injure yourself.
ETA: I've changed this post as I forgot to mention the DVD regions.

Ooops! I should have pointed out that the 2 DVD series that I recommended are from North America. Unfortunately, the Lesley Sansone ones are Region 1 only - so you'll only be able to play them if you have a region-free DVD player. Happily, Stott Pilates DVD's are available in Region 2, but remember to check the description to make sure you buy that instead of the North American Region 1 version.

Seriously DD... interesting DVDs indeed. I wanted to buy Series 3 of "Mistresses" for an English friend in Philadelphia. Can you help me find a link to buy it please? (dumb-blonde.com)

i know how you feel with that. I lost 17kg and actually weigh less than when i first fell pregnant but my belly is less than disgusting and i still cant wear bathers without shorts on. Im thinking of getting a personal trainer in the next couple of weeks (cos i deserve it) and will let you know what they suggest re the baby belly and thighs

Unfortunately, whilst there appear to be North American compatible versions of series 1 and 2, Jo, the 3rd doesn't seem to be available (legally) yet. Also, they are VERY expensive!
The problem is that it's usually pretty easy for us in the UK to watch North American discs on our DVDs as both our players and TVs can handle the NTSC format. However, it's a different story for North Americans. Their NTSC TVs and DVD players can't handle our PAL format.
I'm afraid that unless she definitely has a TV and DVD player which can handle PAL (unlikely), she'll need to wait for the expensive North American official edition of series 3. (If she was very, very naughty, she could download them via torrent, probably.)
