LBD

In the spare wardrobe is a lovely plain black Max Mara dress, a timeless classic, with little sparkly diamonds on it. It's been in there for a few years, and was left by my ex when she moved out. In the past, I'd tried it on, but couldn't get the zip up more than halfway.

I tried it on again this week, after having lost a few inches from my chest in recent months. I can now zip it up fully, and it fits perfectly!

Bliss!

Shopping time

Three visits to Cheshire Oaks in the last 4 days: yes, things are getting back to normal, and I’m enjoying the interaction with other shoppers and staff. It was pleasant to get back to Phase Eight, where I picked up a lovely blouse, reduced from £45 to £13.50. The sales assistant was great fun, telling me about her recent fab family vacation to Vegas. A surreal moment: I was trying on a blouse and 2 dresses in the far cubicle, and wasn’t in any hurry. After a few minutes, I heard one of the girls ask: ‘Is everything alright? Lady in the far cubicle?!’

I also had a bit of time in Next Clearance, where I picked up a jacket, black velvet skinny jeans, shorts and a long white floaty skirt. Had to take the jacket back on Saturday though, as I’d picked up a size 16, but I must have dropped a size in the last few months!

On Wednesday night I also made my first visit to my local Tesco. It was late on in the evening, and I had long enough to pick up a basket-load of basics. The double-take from the young check out girl when she looked was a picture, and the smile that she returned was lovely!

‘Normal’ service has resumed....

Some friends will know why I’ve not been around much in person for the last few months, and why I’ve spent even less time keeping the blog up to date. It’s not that I haven’t been out and about, although those times have been less frequent in recent months.

A special relationship was the reason, which opened up ways of looking at personal issues from different angles, partly through hypno therapy analysis. I thought I’d cracked a certain issue, and then about 10 days ago something else happened, which threw everything back up in the air again.

So, single again, life goes on.....and, I’m back.
