Memorygirls - The Matrix Re-inspired

I'm a size 18 too

Ooooh someone get me a drink of water after watching that Antonio Banderas is sexy as hell <fans herself to cool down>

Souk - You are SO right. My shame at my dress size goes back to being a teenager, taller and bigger built that all my friends (I confess I felt like the fat friend at times) and this trend continued into adult life (including feeling like the fat friend ) This is why I want to work on my body image, I think it's just as important (if not more) than me getting slimmer, learning that acceptance of who I am. I love what you wrote. In fact I am going to write out your words and put them in the kitchen so I can see them every day.

MG - your offer of a paper pattern would be lovely I would have made one myself but all the patterns I've seen are for the shoe string strap type and I am not good enough at sewing to start adapting patterns

Clootie - thanks for looking


Thanks girls, as usual you all rock.

Lovely dress Bitsy.

It is boiling here today, too hot to sit in the sun.

Ok, I have now reserved a cat from my local rescue. It is not the same one I wrote about earlier. But I can say that she is the most beautiful and lovely cat ever. Need to wait for a home visit now and get everything finalised.

DD is happy splashing in the paddling pool outside (except she keeps shouting that the water is cold). I am chilling inside reading my kindle. Just need to go and put chicken in the oven for tea. What a lovely Sunday

Ooo Bitsy - I like that dress too - they had similar ones in Sainsburys today - have a look in there if you can. BTW I wish I was an 18.

Marru - when do we get to see photos of the new cat? Lovely news though.. I remember the day I picked mine up... lovely!!

Ooh, well done Marru!

Lovely dress bitsy

I, bizarrely, am spring cleaning. VERY slowly, and in a very relaxed pottering kind of a way, but getting al kinds of things done that I wouldn't usually get round to :T Absolutely gorgeous day - makes me want to have everything all nice and shiney rather than all dusty and grubby :rotfl:

Well done, Maru - on all counts. And if the weather where you are is anything like it is here DD needs colling down.

It is so grey up here that I have needed the light on inside all day - why do I always get left out?:D

Mind you it is pretty humid so apart from rescuing the washing from a pelter earlier everything is dried.

Sounds like a cat has chosen YOU My Dear :rotfl: Just remember cats don't have owners, they have "staff"

I have had the very strangest day - in a "guided by something /someone else" kind of experience. I think having a day set aside to being quiet has had some very interesting ramifications creativity wise. I won't reveal too much on here (copyright issues etc) but will pop something on the Matrix when I have got my head around it.

But first - dinner. Thai chicken kebabs are marinading, rice is soaked and thai veggie salad is made and ready to serve - so a quick grilling and we should be ready to rock n roll.

Afternoon - habe just woken up from a 'Nana nap' - despite being years away from being a Nana!

Have had one of those weekends where you run from a to b and back again - Saturday - gym, dancing, set up school fair stall, back to dancing, back to school fair - Today - church walking day with dd in Brownies and dh carrying banner, dd's dancing show 2hours long and she danced with her class and to help the baby class (9 dances in total so she is shattered and snoring on other sofa)!

Phew! Now just got to get planning for school tomorrow done and house put back in some semblance of order.

Am going to sit down and write the scary frog list tonight - the list of things I MUST do before term ends. Got a free to-do list at the school fair and it is going to be pretty full. Going to tape all of tv I usually watch and set up ipod in back room for the next few weeks so I can really get on with stuff. Will keep checking in here as I will definitely need some positivity to keep me going.

me too ... I'm about a third of the way through cleaning out the kitchen cupboards, interspersed with lying in the sun reading. Probably avoiding lots of things I should be doing
