My first post!!!!



Psychics, sex, chocolate and ponies!!

For a long time now I've been thinking about writing a blog to clear the myriad of stuff going on in my mind!!! As you can see from the name of my blog, I do have a weird and unconnected selection of thoughts! (Although sex and chocolate??? We'll get to that!)

Now a little bit about me, I'm Leigh and I'm coming up 42 (shocking). Due to health problems, I seem to spend my life starting diets, losing a bit, getting overexcited and then falling of the diet wagon SPECTACULARLY!!!!! I've been overweight now for half my life and although I do subscribe to the notion, that "big is beautiful" as my health decreases I do recognise the fact that I really need to get my shit together and become more focused!!!

I often wake up in the middle of the night with ideas of things I should do or invent, as I've yet to be on Dragons Den, or have floated a million pound business on the stock market, you'll realise these ideas still need some work 😱

The flappy bird guy has really frustrated me!!! That game (which I'm hideously bad at) was a licence to print money and by all accounts he was earning something like $50000 a day in advertising revenue - so what did he do???? Pulled the game!!! Errr hello, what kind of moron are you????? I have several ideas on apps, if I could only understand how to write one, but those heady days when I had my zx spectrum, used to input hundreds of lines of programming from a magazine only to find for some fucked up reason the game didn't work arrrrrhhhhhhhhh!!!!  

So if anyone knows how to write an app, please let me know!!!

One of the main reasons I am writing this is because, being overweight still has a lot of stigma attached to it!! Hundreds of years ago me and my reuben-esque body would have been revered, but now in the 21st century if your not celebrity thin, so thin that if you turned some of these women sideways, asked them to stick out their tongue, they would resemble a zip, I kid you not!!!

I have looked at bbw (big breasted women) work online, but, that would involve me having to have a smile on my face all the time, and to be honest, I cannot afford the wrinkles!!! Ha ha ha this is the only good thing about being chubby, I am reliably informed that I do not look 42 in fact, when people guess my age the normally say mid twenties which is very flattering! I also moisturise a lot and in future blogs will be sharing with you the products that I swear by.

The other thing about being a big girl, is clothes!!! I am know among my friends for liking the following -

Low cut - I have to have my puppies on display

Black - it is my best colour

Lace - that victoriana look

Velvet - again as above

Bling - if it's got glitter, sequins or beads I'm buying it

Fitted - I have no idea why clothing manufacturers insist on designing anything over a size 14 with room enough for two large ladies in it!!!!! I like my clothes to show off my shape. I am normally around a size 20 but at my very largest I was a 28! And even then I refused to wear a mu mu!!! Ha ha ha

Anyway this is the end of my first post, I'll ramble on some more soon :D
