Think Pink.. Day thirty eight

Great Morning, my son's Godfather, Tim was on BBC TV Breakfast news. Arguing the case for "Pink" against the "Stink Pink" campaigner .. Made me giggle .. He was very good.   As always though, when you know them well, you find it funny.
 He is also a skinny bugger and he looked healthy on TV .. Told my husband, he would look huge .. well he did, when we were on Chanel 4 evening news about 18 months ago during the banking crisis... Luckily he was filmed side on :)

The fact that they can charge a contestant with animal cruelty, when the show slaughters 100's of innocent fish and critters for no reason .. The boys only killed to eat it .. So in that case shouldn't they charge the girls too? As they ate it with them! Stand up and take responsibility show producers.  Surely it should stop at your door ??
Not that they read my blog... I am far to well fed and invisible for them LOL

Shed a tear or two ...Day thirty two

Bugger..... I am missing a day out.
I still am coughing, it has kicked off my asthma.  So a cold day shooting will only make things worse.
I am feeling .. plump again !
I am sure all the weight I have lost has come back ... Not going to weigh myself until the weekend, but feel quite disheartened.
I cannot seem to do without the glass of wine at the moment .. but at least it is only one per day..so far

Well funny day... Not funny ha ha, funny strange...
I moan that I am never alone anymore, but after two days on my own... I was very lonely ....
Walking the dogs was fun as always .. but the woods echo.
Sat down in the afternoon by the fire, with all three dogs, watched Sex in the City the movie.. and cried ....and cried ... No idea why, lost youth? .. Desire to be, as thin as SJP? .. not a clue...
See mad as a fucking hatter !!!

Parcels were arriving .... Thank heavens I have been on my own !!
Ebay may just have to be deleted off my favourite sites .. this week alone, I have bought two second hand Joseph Shearling jackets........
No ..not one... Two ! One Red and one Honey coloured FAB got the two for under £200 !
Then three Melissa Odabash Kaftans ... and I am not even planning a holiday.. but just incase ... you know.

For the soul..
As its for the kids...I have bought Christmas .. thanks to M&S  and their offer 3 for 2 on all decorations, and wrapping paper. Even bought a tree .. 3 seemed extravagant to me.. reason I have had to start from scratch is.... I stored it all in the cellar and the mice ate and peed all over them ... just one of the joys of a 200 year old house!

Night All x

Into the new month ... Day Thirty one

Woke up again feeling crap .. I hate being ill ..

But after this mornings memorial service at school I realise, just how grateful I am to be here... plump or not ...
Shopping diet just not happening!
I am definitely a spendthrift, another pointless thing ... Which I hate myself for I think I may need counseling for this problem...
I like to be prepared for all eventualities .. Red carpet event .. dinner.. snow.. When in reality as you can see a school run is considered a day out .. my life consists of walking the dog and hanging about the house,cleaning or gardening ...
Good job, I dress to please myself, but I think I really have go to stop this compulsive urge.
