TEN months and counting...

I want to go out for an Indian now! maybe once I get to my target weight...

speaking of which....tried a pair of long boots on yesterday (from back of wardrobe) and couldn't do them up so seem to have put weight on my legs too - arrrggghhh!

oh and another confession...just bought two pairs of ankle boots in the M&S online sale...only spent £31.50 and will get 5% cash back so not too bad and my current pairs have now been mended so many times they have probably cost way more than one pair and look sad and scruffy. Need to take fave "going out" ankle boots to cobblers at the weekend though.

a little but not in a Fatima Whitbread type manner! it must be fat.
To be fair I think when I last wore them I was about 8 stone which is too light for me at 5ft 8. but still they are not even close to fitting.:mad:

It could be both - especially if you don't stretch.

And I'm only a couple of inches taller than you and 8 stone is about what one of my legs weigh...

Mayflower curry sauce stuff has been purchased, will let you know how it goes... DS sometimes has a curry at school that he likes but it's orangey in colour but not tika masala so maybe this is it. can't remember the last time I had a curry in a chinese though, oh dear now thinking of kung po chicken...

yet another confession - erm more boots but they were a bargain £25 and mean I have something to wear to work with the skirts that have been hanging around there for a while.

OK, list for the weekend:

1. Change the bloomin euros!
2. Dejunk kitchen ready to paint
3. Tidy flat as per usual
4. Catch up with laundry mountain
5. Help DS with Santa letter listing only stuff I've already bought...

Off out to see friends for supper but will have to try and be good on the diet front - mate is not known for slimming foods though...

You are allowed to splurge on boots in this weather..apart from 1 and 2 my list is very similar this weekend.

and I've just been to tescos forgetting the euros yet again. maybe this is a sign I should pop over to Paris/Dublin for some xmas shopping (only joking honest).

Thanks Bob, having been not spending on clothes for TWO years some things are getting beyond repair now. just need to get stuff for DS's stocking and a pressie for my mum and xmas is sorted which hopefully will bring a close to the spending for a while.

I have just had to chuck a pair of boots out, that not only are beyond repair, but stink to high heaven:o ..when the sole fell off yesterday..i thought Yep it's time:rotfl: :rotfl: still it was £10 well spent three years ago:D

I Would sneak off shopping in Dublin too...
