We all know what christmas does to waistlines. Even for those who aren't that into food, you can't help tucking into endless supplies of alcohol that swill around over the festive period. Well, this hasn't gone unnoticed when it comes to wearing rather restrictive denim.

Unfortunately it doesn't stop there; having spent the majority of the last week reclined in some format, I am now fully rounded at the edges.

It's amazing how one week can cause so much damage. This calls for serious action in January; I'm talking nazi gym routines, zero-tolerance diet plans and a tee-total period extending well into February.
