Oh I wish......I was a size 12......AGAIN...!!

When I was married I was a size 10 and still got my wedding dress to prove it ....What happened ?????

Dont know where I got my boobies from, I am a size 12 or 14 bottom ,but when it comes to the top ....Dolly pardon got nothing on me ..LOL

I have been out looking at curtains today ,I normally make them but I am too lazy now to make them. So I said to hubby I have chosen what I like ......now we have to have an inquest on why I have chosen what he thinks is the most expensive curtains in PLYMOUTH.
So I shall go in town tomorrow on my OWN to buy them .....LOL
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I had bald legs.That would be my biggest wish plus being a size 12 again lol
Marilyn,what shop for curtains Dingles?Or a specialists?I had to have my lounge ones made.There are quite a few windows and patio doors.OH couldn't believe the price which I think was about£1,300.That did include the poles and fitting aswell.I thought it was fairly reasonable and I love them.So that is all that matters lol.

Good Evening my fellow sufferers, (ah perhaps we can call ourselves the sufferettes! lol

Sizes - I am always at size 8/10 no change there since I was 12 years old. The only thing that has changed is that I hide my 8/10 figure under a layer of size 28! PMSL.

Bless you Fiona, if only I had your problem of not being able to bend down to do ones laces up. If only I could see the blinky laces would be of benefit. lol

I can see I shall have to buy shares in Sudocrem, as it has become so popular!

Got OH a birthday card and a small fruit cake from M&S - he is 55 today! He had a card from his daughter and she enclosed new photos of grandsons, (they live outside of UK) they are just sooo goregous, even though they may not be strictly my grandsons, I am proud to call them mine :))

Helen - I have to wear medical surgical stocks, very unflattering, but they keep the hairy legs at bay, have not shaved my legs in years!

I am still a 36a, but the hips keep spreading, now around 44inches. Try buying my size in bra's. manufacturers all seem to think 36b is the only size! Would never exchange my small bust for anything larger, had enough problems when I had the one removed, cant imagine tackling same with a larger boob!

No Helen ,
Not Dingles I shall be so lucky.........LOL

Its called Dunelm a new shop in Exeter street where Wickes is, apposite the First & Last pub.

They are only £240 for a set....but because I normally make them for half the going rate ,he's not used to me thinking of spending that amount on them.
So I'm just waiting for him to say he wants a gadget of some sort ...and there will be fireworks ..!!!!!
Anyway I always win ..LOL

Now what do you think has just happend ????
Hubby has asked me for a 2nd class stamp, and I have just given him my BUS PASS !!!!!!
Think I ought to have an early night .!

My daughter no 1 who is expecting baby in August (before pregnant)
was a 30 E now she is 5 months gone is having a terrible time trying to buy new bra's .every 4 weeks she's having to go out and by a new bra as she has gone up to a 32E she prefers the non underwire ones now, because the wire was digging into her tummy, no shops sell non underwired bra's in her size, so she had to buy(black only) bra's of E-bay shop webb sight , at least the webb site sell new under wear and not used.

Marilyn
we have a Dunelm here in Glasgow, it's a great shop ,I got all my bedding, bathroom accesories, cusions, from it and at christmas it has some lovely decorations, and great storage idea's

Hi Fiona,
I thought they must be nation wide, yes they had some lovely bedding in there too.

So I need to go back and have a good look around on my own...hubby can stay at home. next time.

I think I'll go back tomorrow,as they only had a couple left of the length I want as I want to chop some off to make a pelmet ,now that should keep hubby busy making me a pelmet ...Could be a disaster though, he made the last one too short !!
I'm off to get ready for the *Apprentice* .
See you all tomorrow.
xx

Just to say never heard of Dunelm in the South of England, must be a Scottish or northern store?

I too, am off for an early night, have overdone it today with walking up the Mall which I believe from end to end is half a mile so I have walked a mile on my poor arthritic knees ankles and toes joints, dont know which leg to limp on lol

Night night everybody.

Hope that your daughter is feeling better this morning Helen. I know what you mean it doesn't matter how old they are they're still our babies and you worry when they're poorly.

Update on the Sudocrem...it's brilliant stuff, I seem to be almost back to my flawless self!! Seriously though it has worked amamzingly quick.

I'm off for a shower my tea and toast and then bed, had a busy shift.

Hi Pam <Goodby Pam
Hope you have a good sleep.

Helen.
When you come on this morning, I hope you and your daughter have had a good night sleep, and your daughter is feeling a little better , she was in good hands being with her mum last night, hopefully it's just a tummybug and it's gone within 24 hours.

He definately would have been out of luck Marilyn.He was thinking of his own health I expect lol
Yes she is still asleep.OH is on the train to London now so he won't be back till I pick him up from the station at 7.30.
I have an azalea just coming into bud in a large pot on the patio.It is a beautiful red and looks stunning every year(I think it's an azalea) lol.

Morning Marilyn
were to have the same weather as yesterday, rain , wind with the addition of a bit of sunshine.
Good day for catching up on a bit of Family history. got a lot of paper lying around so I need to go through the lot and figure out what I wrote before , thats the only trouble if I don't sort it out straight away , can't always read my own scribble later on.
Hopeing to get a marriage cert in the post today, trying to figure out if Great aunt was a widow when she married no 2 husband, because so far can't find no 1 husbands death(he's my Great uncle not no 2).
