Lost but not gone gives you spots before the eyes

Eeeek, just found a multitude of frocks. Madam was wondering if there was anything of mine that would fit her for the hols so I delved into the darkest recesses of the wardrobe and there they were. Poor things hanging there forgotten, discarded and creased. Ah well into the washing machine with them. Of course this gives me a marathon ironing session but then if I'm in the mood I rather enjoy it. They do look nice hanging there in the sunshine gently waving in the breeze, all seven of them., six spotted in various colours and a flowery one, a mixture of bought and Viviene of Holloway. So all freshly ironed they await a trying on, Sunday I think, there is a promise of sun on Saturday and I wouldn't like to waste it.

Simply ages

Oooo this tiling is taking simply ages, it not having enough room to swing a cat. Have to cut the tiles outdoors as the noise is unbearable too, so its in and out, in and out then there is the measuring and the pattern matching or should I say random placing which is more time consuming than pattern matching.
The son and wife came round yesterday afternoon as it was his birthday too but by then I was sooo tired I'd stopped work for the day. At least I didn't have to cook yesterday, just make salads although I did recover enough to do the ironing in the evening. These 50's style frocks and skirts are all very feminine and lush but oh my do they take an age to iron! So much material, but it is worth it.
Two days now without any pounds disappearing, just the one stone lost. Getting impatient again, I thought I'd be well on the way to the second stone gone ! I must admit I am enjoying the diet, all fresh food, none of this additive and half cooked stuff anymore and I do actually feel better for it. Of course it could be the weight loss or it could be a more healthy diet... or both.

All done

Well that was a mammoth task, reloading the website that is, took absolutely ages. Gone are all the older pictures and the videos. I really must now get down to doing pages for all those pictures I took for use as backgrounds.

Of course I do not wish to bore you all with constant updates about the diet but it is going rather well..... so far. Madame has lost 8lbs as of yesterday a.m. and as of today so have I. Amazing isn't it, I mean I've never eaten so much in my life ! We have not been large eaters either, just goes to show that we were not eating the right foods, just all the wrong ones. As for eating lunch well I've never been one for that, just a quick sandwich and that was that but I haven't eaten bread for four days, no spuds either, just a smidgeon of milk too.

Aaaanyway I can't sit here nattering all day, I've got the ironing to do, change the beds and the cleaning and a trip to Tesco's, oh my a woman's work is never done is it.
