  • I currently have 3 pairs of jeans. 1 pair is presentable, 1 is wearable and the other are in their ninth year, do nothing for me but I hold onto because I can’t find another pair that is right. Me and jeans are a love hate relationship

    To be honest I would live without jeans because I like skirts and dresses but have chubby thighs which rub together. It's ok in winter when I can wear tights or leggings but the summer is a nightmare. I have cut of tights in the past though to try and stop the problem.

    Not much done today. One load of washing on the line and that's it. I hope I have more oomph tomorrow.

    Night all.

    Hello all

    Not much from me again so far today. I really need to get my mojo going again because I don't want to get back to square one.

    I have got up to date with washing but just need to put it away. My usual nemesis;)

    I would like to fill up my green bin tonight. Fingers crossed the rain will hold off. It's looking a bit dull.

    I'm going to try to do some sewing this week. I feel a bit frustrated not being able to with dodgy hands so I'm going to have a go. I need some new clothes anyway and have some fabric to use.

    Anyway have a fab day.

    Sending you (((hugs))) and hoping you feel a bit better.
    Do you think you may manage the sewing machine if you take it slowly? I know it's difficult to change the way we do things, but may be worth a try if you can achieve something. XX
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy

    Yes I think you're right. It would make me feel more like me too.

    Like Beanie I am full of admiration. Wish I could sew. I tried but in the end I admitted defeat and sold the machine at a car boot sale :o

    And if I had been there I would have purchased it. Always room for another one.;)
