Its in my Jeans

When I had my epic wardrobe clear out the other day I found a pair of oasis limited edition posher than posh denim jeans that I bought assuming they would fit as they were a size 16. They were mini mini mini with no stretch so I couldn't get them over my calves. When measured they were closer to a 14 in their measurements. Anyway. Guess what I'm wearing today? Oh yes. I have red lines across my stomach and can't breathe but they are on, done up and with a belt.

Get in.

Well done! I imagine you're feeling quite jeanial now.

Well done you!!!!! I too have managed to get into my smaller size 12 petite Next jeans that wouldn't even entertain the tops of my thighs two weeks ago as I had to buy the same pair in a 14 on Ebay the other week, which incidentally are now too lose!

Christmas dress also bought from said Ebay for the bargain price of £11 plus p&p, brand new too! Happy days

Congratulations both of you! There's something wonderful about jeans fitting; possibly the most satisfying thing in the world.....

Ahh don't Lev....i

Mmm- not sure that's up to your usual standard!

(And yes, I spotted your funereal posting concerning LBDs/old habits - but I'm not going to 'report in 'every time I spot a funny. I'm just wondering how long it takes before others comment on them)!

 

[lickthelid]

Haha its ok there are there but they are not there. Soon I'll get kicked out for being flippant I don't give out prizes...yet

Collective Nouns

What is it with some brands that make them eponymous with a certain item. Hoover for example? Unless you are posh enough to have a dyson or similar there is a fair chance you just refer to it as a Hoover. Where's the Hoover? Guaranteed its not on the floor of the house where you need it at that present moment. Sellotape. There's another. Sellotape is a brand yet any form of sticky tape whether its from smiths or asda is Sellotape. Not strictly collective nouns there Sam I hear you chant. Well, no, maybe not but this is where my thought process began. Actually it began with marmite but that's another post.

Collective nouns are the weird and sometimes whacky names for a collective of things, commonly animals. A murder of crows or a parliament of owls being my favourite as a law teacher. It got me to thinking. What would be OUR collective noun? A world of slimmers? A GORGE of dieters.

Suggestions on a postcard....

Like beavers - a family?

I do feel that my SW Minis friends are more supportive and helpful than 'real' family!

I'm on my second cuppa hoping for the same before tonight. Caffeine seems to help me out.
One can only pray for a poo. I told my colleague I might suck the tea-bags but she thought I was disgusting.

Hands down the best thing I have read on here. Ever.

Confession

I just ate the skin off the roast chicken I was carving. It was delish. Its WI tomorrow morning so to be fair it's too late to care. Oh it was all crispy and juicy in tandem. Mmmmmm
