Careful now!
Apparently, gym-goers are more worried about sweaty bums (!) than keeping fit! Researchers analysed thousands of Google searches by regular gym-goers and found that a sweaty backside, along with dodgy mirrors, were the top cause of stress at the gym. Also making the top searches on Google are "best way to meet someone at the gym" and "how to approach a guy/girl at the gym".
The last thing I googled was "are vol au vonts old fashioned" because I made vol au vonts on Friday for my dinner guests (with chicken and bacon in creamy mushroom sauce - it was delish!) I put it up on Instagram and I got SUCH a slagging because apparently, vol au vonts are old-fashioned. Since when was pastry for dinner ever a bad idea? Great in every decade!
