Who on earth starts a diet four days before Christmas?

I've come unstuck with one of my Christmas presents. Bought DiL a scrummy big box of Hotel Chocolat goodies, knowing how much she will love this present. Wrapped it and dropped all the presents off yesterday, then during conversation she said she's determined to drop a couple of sizes by the end of January. I phoned son up and asked him to whip it out of the bag of presents before she spots it and starts wondering what's in there. It's under the tree! Now what do I do?

Not to panic! Dash out and buy her an exercise video, The Hairy Bikers Diet book (full of yummy recipes) and some naughty knickers in a size less than she is now tchhmm

Anya good thinking! My son does most of the cooking, so she'll enjoy picking out meals she fancies. I'm on it this afternoon! Ta!

I've just ordered Miranda Hart's Maracatack DVD and a pair of maracas to arrive tomorrow! DiL has a well-developed sense of humour, so she'll appreciate them! Next step - the flimsy knickers! grin
