    Merlinandme, .....nope not stopped grinning :D. Will text you soon I promise.

    Keiss, thank you. How are you?


    I am absolutely knackered today, I put together a bag to go to recycling (the one I spoke about before), parcelled up last two slices of OH's birthday cake for my Mum and Gran and set off for home town to meet them both we then headed to a large shopping centre about 10 minutes away and did all the shops from one end to the other to try and get some work clothes for me. I found very little that fitted. Got a lovely shirt in M&S and ordered a suit. But everything else I tried on make me look like a sack tied in the middle or was cut for someone built like a beanpole. Why can't there be more clothes cut to fit a bust, waist and curvy hips? Went for coffee with Mum and Gran then did more shops.



    I went over on my ankle whilst out and its really sore. More stuff to fill out for the agency. How is everyone?

    Hope that ankle is feeling much better now Unix. Shame you didn't get many new clothes.

    Been pretty busy this past week, helping to set up a sewing exhibition at the shop where I work. One one more day left of the exhibition, then it's taking everything down tomorrow after 4. My boss is leaving @ 3pm for a family "do" in Ireland, so the tidying up has been left to me and the ladies of the sewing club whos work we are exhibiting! Working Monday too, then I have a week free...can't wait...DH is off too, so we are thinking of having a couple of day trips...not sure where to yet.

    Have a great weekend..when do you start your new job??

    Quick update, no start date yet as they are still going through my paperwork (credit check, I'm assuming this is just to see whether I've been made bankrupt etc?).

    OH and I went out to museum of flight today and got to see Concorde. Good experience but I was surprised how plain it was inside and considering toilets etc on the plane haven't been used in years it stank. There was certain areas on the plane I just couldn't stand in for very long. A lot of the other exhibits were filthy, which considering how much they charge for entry they have no excuse.

    Will post a proper update tomorrow, hope everyone's ok.
