    Just hung up second set of curtains. They look amazing! Steve and Andy found them for me in the lovely curtain shop last week they look like silk. Delish.

    Beanie purple silky stuff in living room to go with sofa - (whole house is white though) and cream silky stuff in bedroom which is white and cream too. Steve and Andy helped choose them they are really good at interior design.

    Gosh I was so busy hanging up curtains i missed my chance to speak to Dragon in the pub and Mr Dragon too :(. She has gone home, Susan and Alan just rang. They have met Dragon and Mr Dragon and are over the moooon. We have so many nice friends Beanie! :):):)

    I will text photos of curtains on a day when the light is better! it is pitch black outside!

    Steve and Andy and Susan and Alan are at Jools' cottage and it is beautiful. They will leave soon. And boy will i have a fab gossip. Sooo excited Beanie we are gonna meet. Been emailing Chelle about it all day! Where is George i want a chat with him too.

    I love socks, bra's and knickers. So much so, i have half of them on a bench because i can't fit them into my chest of drawers. Awhile ago i counted over 70 pairs of knickers! (This was because when i lived in my own flat i would do a wash load about once or twice a month and would just buy more underwear/clothes to get around it!!) Likewise all my clothes don't fit anywhere, so i sort of have to stockpile the dirty so that i can fit more clean things into my wardrobe.

    I need a walk in wardrobe!!
    I've heard stories about women leaving their underwear on a bench ;-)

    Well as youve lost weight aren't there some that wont even fit you anymore?

    edit: in case you were wondering, the ones in the picture are XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL to fit 45-stone women who have a 8.75ft waistline and a dress size of 74 !!!!

    Wow. I used to watch a weight loss programme about NZ. It was dead inspiring.

    Susan glad you had a fab day. Steve just rang they have just left Jools' and are going to be home for midnight. Crumbs a looong day for all of you. It was soo nice to speak to you both. We missed you very much. Have a good rest and we can chat tomorrow.
