    well done SRM!

    I had my scabby CD soup about 12 o'clock but decided to go out on my break anyway, found myself in charity shop, in changing room with 3 pairs of, wait for it, size 16 jeans! thought i would give myself some aspirational jeans to get into in a month or two... well whaddaya know!! they all fastened! i'm not gonna lie and say they all fitted well or looked great, but they all fastened!!!

    I bought 1 pair, which are tight round the waistband but wearable with the right top, i.e. hoody or something, nothing fitted lol!!

    That is my motivation for the day!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Luc, you must teach bean from an early age that cleaning is a fun activity. My DD loves cleaning, especially ovens. I dragged her up well :D

    this doesn't mean i'm a 16 yet, only that all the 20's in my wardrobe are too big getting, and there were no 18's to try on... maybe i can skip 18....!

    The trouble with being fat all my adult life is that i don't have a set of skinny clothes to fit into..... y'know like some folk say they have tons of clothes that don't really fit them, i haven't kept any skinny clothes, apart from this dress. which i love and wouldn't part with, it's a 16.... i am going to wait a while before i try it on i think.....

    Quiet on here today... Are you all working?

    Managed to shift my lazy lumpy carcass out of bed just before midday today:o

    Judging by the number of cat toys and random articles strewn across the sitting room floor when I came through Casper is finally over the anaesthetic properly...

    Today I shall be making a list of things to work through up until Bean's arrival. Hopefully that'll give my days a bit more focus as at the moment I am drifting through them and, quite frankly, wasting the time off. Once I get started I'll be fine but I need that initial kick up the bum :p Am considering cleaning the oven...


    Nesting Luc? Bored again Squizz? Hello the rest of you.
    Just got back from 14 hour shift with a passenger in my cab!!!!!! Not in a good mood and vv trired.........so I phoned Halifax for my DD who has been crying as they have made more charges ( £168 ish for unauthorised OD ) and got £133 back:D

    edit 2! But Daddy is paying the extra £40 to get her A/C back into order!
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    ....one-way ticket to Portugal booked !
