… in months! Today I slept until after lunchtime (such a relief after weeks of only 4 hours per night, usually between about 5 and 9 am) and then sorted through clothes. Four green garbage bags full ready at the door to head to the charity/recycling shop!
(I did have to let TeaBot5000™ rescue a few old cotton t-shirts for use as cleaning rags. But they better not come back in the house, grrrr!)
We had a lovely storm this evening – fortunately AFTER the season finale cliff hanger of Dr Who… I know David Tennant (swoon!) was having time off from the series to go and be Hamlet for the RSC, but – will he be back? (apart from the Christmas Special, I mean.)
Got the tissue cut out for this skirt:
chosen because a wrap seems like a good option for my bulging tummy. Think I might have to alter it a little to be big enough at the waist even so. *sigh* Now I just have to dig out some fabric and get access to my sewing room – it has been FORBIDDEN up til now so I didn’t hurt myself moving and lifting things I shouldn’t!
Today’s wardrobe clean out showed up some serious gaps – I need skirts, and tops. I have 5 pairs of jeans I can now fit into (back to (almost!) the size I was when I first moved to Toowoomba, yay!) and two pairs in the “Another few kilos yet” pile.
And of course I HAVE to make that dress for the frock up event – now just 2 weeks away!
Right. Off to suck another &#$@*()&$ lozenge (Naiiad, they *could* be orange flavoured – it’s just a nasty artificial citrus taste, so could be lemon or orange or even lime, for that matter!)

Hold onto your hats – Doctor Who will return with three specials starring David Tennant in 2009. The fifth season won’t be seen until 2010.
What type of clothes are you recycling? *says the woman with most of hers in storage*

I really like that skirt pattern – and floral prints will be very in, if you decide to go that way! Make the skirt in that pretty rose fabric you were talking about and you could wear that to the ‘frock up’ (plus a pretty top of course!)

I love wrap skirts! If they’re the standard size like you get down the sunday markets, you will have to add some, though. The standard ones are only just fitting me now at 85-90 kilos(depending on the day– my weight fluctuates a lot). Anyway, they seem to be reasonably flattering to us ladies that carry all our weight on the tummy. I’ve also discovered that stretch boot cut jeans are /extremely/ flattering, just fyi.
Different companies make different lozenges. That’s what I was thinking– that you /can/ get different ones. The ones I’ve had were a lot like chewable vitamin c tablets, only far milder/ very slightly chalky. Much more palatable than nasty anonymous citrus flavour. I’ll be cranky if they’ve replaced the ones I like with these (as I get oral thrush every few years due to my stupid autoimmunity).

that wasn’t the season finale – there’s one more to go which I have already seen courtesy of BBC – and no I won’t spoil it for you, but trust me you’ll be a happy girl.
