I was at Oulton for part of the day so Becca was with Ann. I went to pick her up and was told to go away as she hadn’t finished playing yet!!!! So I did :)

the knitting needles arrived today, they are ace and I would have no hesitation getting other sizes from her if she will make them for me.

Erm…. no, I think that was it. Yup, nothing else happened…

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…..
