Very silly NSV!

[Kate Dicey]

There was this pair of black stretch cord trousers I made a few years
back... Simple pull-on jobs with close fitting legs, a bit like
leggings (all the rage when I made them, even for fat broads!) They
always were a bit of a neat fit, but felt good. Eventually, I grew out
of them, and put them on one side to go to the charity shop. Then they
got tucked into a corner and forgotten about... I was doing a bit of
tidying of the heap that collects on the exercise bike (I am not quite
up to tackling that yet, but I can see it becoming a replacement for
walking on days I get a lift in the near future!), and I found the
trousers! I thought I'd just try them on one more time before they went
to the charity shop, but they ain't going yet! They are just right!
Whoo Hoo! In fact, they fit slightly better than when I made them! I
know I made them years ago, because they are done with the over-edge
stitch on the Viscount sewing machine, and I bought a Toyota
overlocker/serger not long after that. They have been sitting in the 'I
must remember to put those in the charity box' heap for about 3 years!
One day soon they WILL go to the charity shop, but because they are TOO
BIG not too small! I must try to wear them to my WW meeting on
Thursday.

WTG, Kate. What else is in your charity box? You might find some more good
clothes to wear.

Oh, nothing much! Did a charity run just a week or so back. There's a
dress that I tend to wander about in, looking for the way out... Fits
like a marquee these days! The dove grey one I made for my friend's
wedding last summer went to the charity shop a couple of weeks ago! I
ought to have kept it, as it was the trigger for the weight loss, but I
just couldn't bear to look at it! All that work making it, and I wore
it ONCE! Next thing to go will be my silk dress, but I might keep that
as a 'before and after' dress - much nicer than the grey one!

No I will NOT be taking it in! It's fully lined, I hate alterations,
and while it may be 100% silk, it cost less than £20 to make, and I have
worn it plenty of times (at least 3 Christmas parties and two New Year
celebrations, plus a couple of dinners and a hen night! Not bad for a
£16 remnant dress!). If you hit the URL below, you can find a picture
of me wearing it along with the sari jacket (also now way too big!).
I'm constantly amazed at the difference a 26 lb loss has made! It
doesn't seem like much compared to some folk here, but it is making a
big difference to me and my wardrobe!

Letting the cat out of the bag. That is NOT the purpose of an exercise
bike, though admittedly mine used to be the same :)

I love the jacket. Too bad that can't be altered a little. I do understand
the big difference 26lb makes. I'm officially down 23lb, unofficially 26lbs
(scale is currently fluctuating between 220 and 222 these days). I can no
longer wear my size 2x clothes to work. Thank god I have a bunch of size 1x
knit slacks and plenty of 1x tops. They are starting to get baggy too but I
should be able to wear them for at least another 10-15lbs. Then I will have
to start buying some clothes.

The silly thing was that I let these trousers sit there for THREE WHOLE

I tried that. I read "the hobbit" on the bike, but it's so difficult
to keep the book still enough to read. I started "lord of the rings"
but gave up before bilbo did his disappearing act :)

I have a "bookstand" for my nordic track but it is almost impossible,
it is impossible, to read while using it. Too much eye movement too
close - the small tv I have set up a bit more distant is watchable.

But then, I hate the nordic track (G)

Mine has a built in reading tray right in front of the seat. I have the
recumbent style bike, so I can lean back and enjoy reading my book or
watching TV while pedaling away at about 12-13 mph.

Kate,

I have the same problem with house work. Funny thing is I just emptied a
box that we moved into this house in April 1999. Guess what I found in
there? A bunch of my EX husbands stuff, and he moved out in December 2000
and I have not heard from him in over a year. I emailed his last know
address to let him know I had some of his stuff and to send me an address so
I could send it to him, since he no longer lives in town. Still have not
heard from him, but I would think it would be things he wants since he moved
this stuff from the UK when we got married.

There is stuff in our loft that went up there the day we moved in, and
has not bee touched since! That was November 1984... On the other
hand, before the gall bladder played me false, I did clear FIVE whole
car loads to the dump and 3 to the charity shop, and another went to the
charity place a couple of weeks back! I'm not COMPLETELY useless, just
patchily useless! Trouble is, I'm VERY good at housework when I do it,
but there are always much more interesting things to do!
