I did the jazzy 'update your blog by e-mail from your mobile' thing yesterday but somehow my post hasn't come up. My angry rant entitled 'urgh' was also done by mobile, so I'm not sure what I've done wrong.
What I said in my jazzy e-mail post was that I'm on holiday at the moment and that's why my posts have dried up somewhat. Not the exciting type of holiday mind, no jet-setting for me! I'm mostly just moping about making the place look untidy. People kept saying to me 'why are you talking two weeks off to do nothing?' and it's like 'single boring people have to take time off too y'know. I'm entitled to 27 days and I'm gonna take them'. It's like they expect me to foresake my holiday simply because I don't have a gaggle of gobby girlfriends to swan off with for some utterly embarrassing 18-30 holiday.
Doing nothing isn't all doom and gloom of course. I have been telling myself I should study and the time I've spent procrastinating has been most productive. For a start I went through my entire wardrobe and tried everything on. I sorted my clothes in to three piles: stuff for ebay (I never realised how much I buy and then never even wear. I just leave it in my wardrobe with the tags still on!), stuff for my mum (stuff to crappy for ebay, she's one of those sewers and everything is 'fabric!' to her) and stuff for the bin (so shiddy even she doesn't want it). So girls, here's you big chance - quality garments at knock-down prices...go crazy for it: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/merchant/porkfap. If you're a size 24 I'd click that link pretty darn quick. It'll be gone before you know it.
So basically my wardrobe has nothing in it at the moment. I don't mind though because at least it's not clogged up with random crap (I mean really, really good quality and fashionable clothes that you should totally buy) I don't even wear.
I tried on a couple of work skirts I wore to death last year and OH MY DAYS!
Look how big it is!! That baby was tight on me last year. I can't believe how fat I used to be, I know that's a weird thing to say because I still am but I must have been huge! I went and showed my mum and said exactly that and y'know what she said 'Well, I didn't wanna say...'. I decided to keep the skirt so I can amaze myself occassionally.
I am going to dress up as Pat Butcher for Halloween this year and spent a little while looking round the charity shops the other day. I found this really nice pencil skirt with a really tiny turquoise and white check. It looks really 50s/60s and personally, I thought it was gorgeous. It was a size 16 - a very, very small 16 mind - but I still bought it. I don't want to get in the kaffufle I am in now of having no clothes later in the game. For the same reason I've bid on a black size 18 pinafore on ebay too. The skirt was only 99p in Bernados and if I do decide, like my mum, that it's actually ming, I can always sell it on ebay or give it back to the smelly little lady in Bernados.
I lost 5lb at group on Wednesay, which took me a pound under the three stone mark! Check me out!
I made some ice lollies the other day using fruits of the forest water flavouring. I read somewhere that you have to put a little bit more flavouring in than you would in a drink but I went totally overboard and now my lollies make my face wrinkle up like eating a lemon. They're still nice though. I think where I'm sat at home I'm getting the urge to nibble more.
Anyway, best be off!
Ta ta for now.
