Getting out of my comfort zone

What a great list! My sister got married that same year too - in fact, only two days later I was *really* sick of weddings by the end of the summer

My sister got married the Saturday before them! In a classic dress, high neck, full sleeves etc. and then meringues became fashionable. Did I add that I made my bridesmaids dress, so was heartily sick of it by the time the day came :rotfl:

Oh wow! Eerie the way our lives have paralleled a little bit .... my sister's was very classy - my mum made it, white lace over white .... erm, something. My bridesmaid's dress was formfitting Barbie pink which my sister made - I'm the one that didn't inherit the sewing gene

I'll try and find some pic's, but yes it is a bit spooky at times.

Foot is a lovely shade of greeny/blue today, have had to wear ballet pumps but my feet are too wide and they look daft.

I did an approved foods order at the weekend, haven't done one for ages, mainly things like bread mix, flour, couscous and drinks for DS. drinks were very cheap and so got lots, other stuff was reasonable and I checked the prices on mysupermarket to make sure I was saving enough to cover the delivery charge.

I am trying to be organised and meal plan etc. today I left the house looking like I'd just come back from the shops. I have with me (in my little fridge!)

3 cooked jacket spuds (just to heat up)
container of beans
container with remains of curry
grated cheese
container with salad
sachets of cup a soup
couple of rolls
jar of coffee
some HM flapjacks

whats missing?

oh yes, need to go out and buy chocolate but it may involve a bit of a detour as the river at the bottom of the road is subject to a flood warning.

No Silent Witness tonight, will see what the new offering from the Beeb is like.

Woah! Flood warnings are scary - don't like that image they have of a house submerged in water take care - nothing, nothing is worth imperilling yourself. Endangering. I meant endangering. I do not live in the nineteenth century write out 100 times.

Hope you enjoy your nosh :j and you *must* have chocolate

Hope your foot is okay gilly - that must have been so painful. _pale_

The river near me is really high and was flooding over the road - not good. :eek:

Hi,

Sorry to hear about the foot.

Just wondered about the red dress & jacket, would you get more wear by splitting them. e.g. dress with a black jacket, or the red jacket with jeans/trousers or skirt. I suppose it depends on the style though.

Your foot! I didn't mention your foot hope you're doing okay with it .......

I could wear the dress with a different jacket, but the jacket is a long line one, so wouldn't go with trousers. It may go with a long skirt, but will have to take some photos so people with better 'eye' than me can decide.

Anyhow, ducks.



The wall is someones back garden wall, over 6ft high, and over 3ft above the river level.

More ducks!
