Still not 100% fit but okay now.
Discovered the reason all my undies keep heading south is not that the elastic in all of them has simultaneously given up the battle but that I’ve shrunk at the middle….
BUT…
I’m “hormonal” this week…

Feed me chocolate….
More….
Who said you could stop….

I suspect the undies will fit snuggly again next week…..

if she has it will be the first time today…..

Had an expensive encounter with the hairdresser this morning. M&D usually take her (as I’ve never seen the point in paying to have something taken off you!) and announced last week that Thursday was the next appointment. Fine, thanks for the warning… we have visitors taht day adn NO I will NOT disrupt her day by having her picked up mid-morning for a hair appointment…. so I re-booked her and they refused to take her. it cost £6!!!! For goodness sake!!!! That totally wiped out all my cash, in fact I had to grab the £1 coin I keep in the car for shopping trollies too…. (okay just call me scrooge and get it over with!)

However, sitting still for that long seemed to compress her like a spring and she spent the rest of the day far too full of energy! She wore me out looking at her and the weather was too foul to kick her out into the garden to vent it….

In other news, we finished “Five True Dog Stories” today thank goodness. Not up to the standard of the rest of Sonlight K I’m afraid, in fact 5 pointless days reading really. Next stop is “In Grandma’s Attic” which looks better.

This guide is provided as a handy hint for all boyfriends, husbands and “significant others”…

There are some days in a month when all a person has to do is open his mouth to take his life in his hands…. Please refer to the following to avoid these moments….

Dangerous - What’s for dinner
Safer - can I help with dinner
Safest - where would you like to go for dinner
Ultra safe - have some chocolate

Dangerous - are you wearing that
Safer - Wow, you look good in brown
Safest - wow! look at you!
Ultra safe - have some chocolate

Dangerous - What are you so worked up about
Safer - could we be over reacting here
Safest - here’s my paycheck
Ultra safe - have some chocolate

Dangerous - Should you be eating that
Safer - there are lots of apples left
Safest - Can I get you a glass of wine with that
Ultra safe - have some chocolate

Dangerous - what did you do all day
Safer - I hope you didn’t overdo it today
Safest - I always loved you in that dressing gown
Ultra safe - have some chocolate

And remember…. Money talkes but chocolate sings!

(today is a chocolate day in case you are reading this Tim….)

GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD

1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you’re down there.
4) You’re getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
5) It’s frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.
6) Time may be a great healer, ! but it’s a lousy
beautician.
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.
