Not nice

So many of these comments give me a wide grin. You're such a witty lot when the topic permits. Thank you.

I am an apple shape. But I sometimes describe myself as a tadpole shape, round middle and long slim legs, or could be a flamingo.

Bye the way that is not a put down for me. I am actually laughing. An ex of mine once said I was like a flamingo, because I had long slim legs!

My husband was so skinny at school, his nickname was string bean.

recently he returned for a 40 years reunion... and as he walked in, a wag shouted....

looks like string bean has turned into broad bean !!

BlueBelle very pleased to read your post: until my cat died last year, I always sat on the floor while eating porridge, then Fudge would lick my bowl and sit on my legs! Happy days

Thank you brunswick I also have slim legs.... although officially an apple.
I can now call myself a flamingo.

i want to be a plum ?

I am a dragon fruit

I'm probably banana shaped when I sit. Always round-shouldered, I try to remember to swing my arms about after being on the computer (or sewing machine) to loosen them up a bit.
Trying to stand on one leg while cleaning my teeth makes my little ankles all wobbly.

Walking into the kitchen last night, light on in living room not in kitchen my reflection was in kitchen window, my left shoulder was about two inches higher than the right,had been on iPad most of the day and evening , not good

It sounds as though you really need some way to sit straighter.

Yes Elegran, I really do, must get myself together , little wonder my balance isn't good, I must be all out of alignment

I wish I knew what you are talking about. I have been busy all weekend and my computer is playing up.

Would a swivelling chair be useful? You could turn it to face the TV or the window without turning your neck sideways, and a single more upright chair would be better for your back and you even-ness than slouching sideways on the sofa. Something like this (that one is very cheap, but looks rather weary. However, if you could get a look round charity shops or look online on Gumtree and so on, you might find something better without breaking the bank)

A lap tray works well for an iPad, or even an ordinary cushion.

Ooooh, that swivel armchair could become a nest , didn't know there such a thing, I am going to get the living room sorted, difficult because rather a small room but am sure it can be done. Thank you so much Elegran .

Off topic forgive me must tell

Today I hit 1,200 calories instead of usual 600 , avoid the insomniac thread tonight posters x

Hurray, Well done.

We were going to buy two swivelling armchairs with footrests for the conservatory- some of them are really expensive but I am trying to remember where we saw some that were quite reasonable.

sorry, racking my pea brain

Can't remember, but Wayfair have some

This video is worth watching, as are their other ones. I watch them often: whilst I'm squashed up on my sofa, leaning left, shoulders hunched..

Will look later - Blue Planet beckons!

Bloomin’ heck Annie! 1200 calories. Well done! That’s my ambition too - but in the other direction! (Well, I actually aim at 1000 but there’s these mince pies which really need eating)

Sorry I went off topic but didn't want to start a meme thread yet was so thrilled , can't do it every day but at least I can do it ? Oh to be a plum not a dried up prune
