CD I LOVE your icon - sooooo funny - bouncing boobs and all. Thanks guys for all your lovely comments, I would not have enjoyed the journey half as much without all my minimin buddies - reading other peoples triumphs and struggles has really helped me throughout..... Treated myself to some new tops today and guess what - bought my first size 14 item!!!! Wore it tonight and everyone said I was disappearing ------ that's a nice feeling! LOL!
