    Or DH would have had a pang of conscience and sorted it out?

    Look at it this way.
    As JM said, you left leaving them wanting more.

    You left on a high - while you were having fun, being charming and sparkling, having conversations with people ! , maybe even flirtng a little bit! That's all good good good! You even had lovely legs!

    If you'd stayed, it could so easily have become a case of having one too many, being over-attentive, sparkles dropping off, conversations becoming garbled, flirting becoming unwanted attentions. The lovely legs might have run berserk! :D

    So, you left while you were at your very best ever! :T
    Thank goodness for dogs needing pees! :T

    Awwww, sorry that happened, code. Poor dumbass dog! I would have been spluttering fire, too. But, on the bright side the lunch was a success! You were amazing and other people thought so! Give Mr Monkey the glare for a bit and then revel in your success!

    Passed out, Pyxis?

    Can someone come up with a very quick (as in 2 days) way to solve my sleep pattern please? After my dodgy day my sleep pattern has now reverted to waking up at midnight! This won't work for reindeer and I hate sleeping all day! I wrote more about how it relates to my anti-psychotic but deleted it because it could be seen as asking for medical advice. Suffice to say, it isn't dangerous to alter when I take my anti-psychotic (the big dose of which makes me sleep) as long as they are spaced out within a 24 hour period so I can shift this around to induce sleepiness if it might help (I currently take it at 2pm in the afternoon due to me sleeping right through a dose because I was errr drugged which isn't helping!).

    Clothes rant- I thought I would buy myself some smart trousers (first time in 3 years) for the reindeer visit rather than my usual jeans. I bought my usual size, they fit fine on the hips, the waist is ridiculously loose! I can put both my arms into the waistband and it is still hanging down. We measured my waist and it is a 14, I would have no hope of getting that size over my hips! I have always bought jeans from this store which have always been loose around the waist but wearable, these trousers are not wearable, I could fit a small child into the waistband.

    Update- ok we measured a bit more. My hips are now a size smaller than 3 years ago, these are meant to be skinny trousers but I thought they were loose. So I've lost weight, yay? Still doesn't make them fit and a belt just causes an empty bubble of material over my stomach. My waist is at least one size smaller than my hips and 2 sizes smaller than my top half.

    Just for the interested, the fact that I am so disproportional is related to my autoimmune disorders. One causes fatty deposits on the upper body hence why I am so heavy up top, most people with the same disorder have a similar problem. I presume it might affect my hips, too but not my waist. When I was slimmer I could make it work by wearing very wide belts to pull in my waist and flatten extra material giving me an hour-glass look, now if I try it, it just looks like two fat balls balancing on top of each other. I am contemplating going to see reindeer in a kaftan. *Goes off mumbling*

  • WaS, did you already remove the label? If not the return period will be extended due to the xmas period so WaSp maybe able to take them back for you after xmas ifhe wants to avoid the crowds.

    Your jeans are perfectly suitable attire for reindeer and santa visiting, though I do appreciate you wanting something new :)

    MU, have fun with beau and hope you dont have any jager bomb hangover issues :)
  • Hello, oldestgnome! How is the trip going? It is lovely to hear from you!

    I still have the label on them so I think I will get WaSp to take them back. I can't see how they are salvageable, I think I would need to have them altered.

    They're not by any chance meant to be worn lower down, more on the hips, are they?



    It so annoys me my jeans' waistbands are just below the navel, so that everything bulges over it! :(
    In the past, jeans' waistbands have come over the navel, and then acted beautifully like a corset, holding the tummy in and giving a flatter profile. :)
    Can't find any fashionable ones like that. :(

    Ah yes, MU jagerbombs are terrible things. It used to be a work Christmas Party tradition. On my second datd with DH I had a raging jagerbomb hangover. He still reminds me of it to this day.

    So here's what happened when I got home. I was greeted by a dog who very nearly wagged his tail off. Put him outside for a pee and went to take my shoes off. Just as I was doing that DH came home. Apparently sending me a text saying "I wont be late" in response to me saying I'll go home actually means "No, stay I'll be home in 30 minutes". So we had our usual format of argument which goes me telling DH off > DH trying to turn things round so its somehow my fault > DH trying to make me laugh so that I forgive him > DH apologising.

    Anyway, you guys are probably right about leaving early. I had my one and only beer. They'd spent a fortune in wine in the restaurant and one person had already gone home drunk. I went home, got into my comfies and had hugs with my dog.
