Morning Wendy. No pretty much stopped alch so its not that! May just be adjustment to healthier food & body rebelling! Yes pans are lovely but I did wait 8 years and research extensively before getting them so feel no guilt & they are a need rather than want! Yes I know that sommat has to give & its usually my weight - the one thing I dont seem to be able to keep a grip off long term! Part of me is starting to accept that I will never be much less than a size 16...and the good thing is thats fine for me!
Woken up with slight migraine and depating taking special tabs a dont want another one all day Think it must be the weather - its v. stormy here...oppressive.
Today will be in to town for shopping for clothes. Have already made a loaf of bread!

Sorry about the weight and the migraine ISOM - could you hold off clothes shopping if you feel under the weather? I never find anything I like if I feel the slightest bit off!

Sorry about this ISOM - but well done on getting some new perfume - I am still trying to find one to replace Tuscany per Donna which I loved and they have stopped doing as well :mad:, so time to try and find something on that.

I try and get the bus into Cambridge when I can (if I am not getting a lift with Dr Dragon) - £20 each way for a taxi and free on the bus :rotfl: (there has to be some advantages to being disabled ) - now do I ask Dr Dragon for some new clothes for our hols in July or do I think begger it stick with jeans and T-shirts I already have - with a nice pair of trousers and a couple of nice tops for going into the restaurant:question::huh::undecided:question:

Afternoon ISOM...clothes shopping is so hard isn't it?..It doesn't help that a size 18 fits different in every shop..it would be so much easier if the clothes were standard size.Hope your migraine is easing off for you.

But we will all get there - and be back in standard shops! (mind you looking at some of the clothes in the shops I am not sure I want any of them :rotfl:)

lol this time last year I was a size 12...didnt eat food for 6 months mind you! WOuld rather be bigger but able to eat! I have a range of clothes from 12 -16 but very little that now fits - all my s24's got chucked & I didnt have 18's so yet another lot needed. Actually frustrating to have so many clothes that dont fit! Re the perfu,e if you go to the perfume shop & tell then what you used to wear they have a book and can look the "notes" up which is what very helpful lady did today and while it doeent replace my yummy escada that they no longer do, it does come close!! May be worth a try? I dont really wear make up but feel naked without perfume on...

Hmm get yourself back into the 16's then ISOM? and thanks for the hint about The Perfume Shop! I think we have one in Cambridge so I will give that a try

Most of my stuff is too small at the moment. Struggling to find clothes that fit as Im inbetween sizes so have to try everything on which is a pain. Not enough time for that.

Good luck in your hunt ISOM. I find I see clothes I like when not looking but they all seem to be different or disappear when I want them. Loath clothes shopping, the more I need/want something the less likely I am to find it.
