When we met up with hubbies family -I thought some of them were acting a bit off-I didn't find out until the SIL we were staying with told me that when we left the hospital it was the topic of conversation that hubby had got divorced and remarried without telling anyone
). I have to say, I'm really looking forward to flying next year and not having to worry about the tray table! That's been such an embarrassing thing for such a long time and I cannot WAIT to be able to put it down without worrying about it!
. I have cleaned the fridge out ready for shopping tonight and I have some SF jelly with raspberries in underway -the nicest thing of all of it was the toasted seedy bread on the club sandwich :drool: -they had burnt it around the edges -so appologised and asked if I wanted to wait for more, but I had it as it was (and got a free drink) -*shhhh* secret is that I have always loved burnt toast ... I swear I made that toasty last -twas scrummy . With the amount of cleaning I have done this last 2 weeks sprucing up the "dizzy tank" will be a doddle -I have felt like I was cleaning the 4th bridge -as soon as I turned around it was like a tip again 
. Im no Hyacynth Bucket -but hells bells Im glad to be back home -In my head Im TWENTY TOOTY and I don't care what anyone else says -strangely enough whilst we were back in the UK I had 2 people think I was only in my late 20s :giggle: -although they might have needed glasses .... Im not sure how we pulled off STS -lets just hope it doesn't bite us on the bum this week :cross: -Im just sooooooooooooo glad to have all my kitchen stuff ..even hubby has conceded that having as much clag as I have isn't such a bad thing :sign0151:. He has also decided that my "fussing n faffing" "stockpiling" etc its rather nice -and much preferable to the alternative 
Try and resist the urge to :bliss: up n down the aisle ... just do a dignified bounce up n down like me ...
-so at least my 2 A+Bs were used, and 1.5 syns although I will probably be getting it back in place next week (just want to do a full week without to see what happens ).... anyhoo -today should look like this:- ...bless his little socks he has figured that we can get to the swimming pool as many days as I want an it should help me build my Achillies back up so I can get back in the gymble .... We are going to have a look at the early morning sessions, It gives me this week to rest it -then 2 weeks to hit the pool and THEN hubby says there is no reason why that on the days he does PT we can't get up early, go to the pool and get back in time to hit the gym :clap: -the early session is 6:30-8am -so we could get in for 6:30 - 7:30 and be back in time for hubby to do PT at 8am and for me to join in -well thats the theory anyway..we will see how it works in reality .
* -then I need to go through my wardrobe again -I noticed whilst i was away that some of my tops are swamping me, not so much in the size -but they are far to long and don't do anything for me at all ..so they need to go
) - sounds like a cracking way for you to heal up, and swimming's great exercise - both cardio and resistance. I must get back to it when my skin's better (I'm all excema-y at the mo and chlorine's right out). Your hubby's a goodun.
Oooh Im naughty naughty naughty :giggle: -I got 17 items for £105 -it should have been about another £200 -I was sort of good as there was a lot more in my basket but I went through a few times and weeded out anything I didn't completely LOVE (does that make me a good girl I wonder ) ....here are a few of what Im getting ..I have ordered all 14s as Im thinking they "should" be completely "doable" by early autumn (I can get in some 14s now -so there is hope)-so I have picked things I can layer etc and cardies...
.
I have nearly 40 years of hating clothes shopping to make up for -me thinks Im off to a good start . Im being really good though and trying to go for stuff I will get most use out of -so all the clothes fit "well" to start with but then still look fine once they are a bit looser, and Im really looking after everything so I can sell em or pass em on once Im done -anyway we lovely ladies are worth it aren't we 
-they do a range called "papaya" and that seems to be genrous and lovely quality -they does stuff suitable for exercise or lounging about in -what I call my "scruffy comfies"....., so on me they now come down to mid thigh and look like a dress - on you they would probably be hip length ... Im not sure what sizes they are as I doubled up on some designs -so have some that are 20, some 18, some 16 -if you think they might tide you over you can have them.. they aren't super smart going out sort -more casual, but not t-shirt looking -gawd Im explaining em well aren't I . Let me know if you are interested and I will sort em out and freshen em up -not that Im a smelly nelly or anything -most have only been worn a few times.....
I've been making do with all my old thinner clothes that I stored away in the top of the wardrobe when I got too fat for them! It is lovely digging them all out again and rediscovering them again...although I seem to have got TOO thin for some of them lol!
CAPRICORN said:Woohoo claire -You are soooo right -I love being at home, I have always been a home bod and have always loved my own company -so being ramed into a house with 6 others has sent me slightly :silly:
I love jewel colours and muted shades too, I always have but its nice now not to have to stick to the obligatory BLACK for everything *although I still wear a lot of black bottoms* -mainly because Im a mucky pup
I really love Matalans stuff at the moment, I went in when I was back in the UK and I reckon that even when I hit target I will use that for most stuff -I love all the colours n beading going on at the moment.
I have found a lot of their stuff to be generous with the sizing -I have 2 14s I can get in already from there
You are a long pod aren't you? -I mean Tall? if so I have a few tops that might be of use -the ones I was on about earlier -they are too long on me - Im a short a*se
thank you very much. I always found matalan a bit stingy with their sizes (or maybe just kidding myself i was smaller!) so I bet you are much nearer a 14 than you think! You really are an inspiration to me lol, I tell the girls at work how amazingly you have done!
-he is a b*gger for letting em do what they want... Im great at training em.... so thats the deal arty0011: -on being to slim for some of your clothes..what an achievement. Get those pennies saved up and get ready to treat yourself 
, they have had some great sales on there -but now I can't shop their as most of their stuff only goes as low as a 16 and I don't want to buy any more of those. I found there cropped cardies great -I have about 6 that look like they are crochetted -great for a summer cover up without looking to bundled up

... although I will be visiting our local one on a regular basis once Im home "just incase" -well Im not one to argue so I just have to settle on what I want...Im thinking it may end up being 3 or 4 more bottles of perfume to add to my collection ready for moving home ) -its a lovely peacock kind of blue and its a 14 :bliss: -although its got to be a generous 14 ..but it still says 14 on the lable ..so thats another one to add to my collection -I have about 16 weeks until I move home and I want to get as close to target as I can :cross:
arty0011: I have been pretty much exercise free too because of my achillies :sigh: -apart from 1 walk around the golf course.), I have made my smoked mackerel pate -using cottage cheese and some horseraddish:drool:, I have the chicken carcass on making stock and the veggies chopped to make some butternut squash soup once the stock has done . Im planning on the soup and jelly being useful as "quick eats" whilst we are bobbing in and out this week -hubby has 2 big pots of home made chicken n sweetcorn soup in the freezer so I will get one of those out tomorrow (he doesn't like butternut squash ) -hubby thinks Im bonkers because I found using the cleaner very therapeutic
