Friday`s Thoughts ~ 2nd attempt at saving!

Hello Everyone,

It`s been a showery day today.  Kerry walks into town now that she lives nearby, I on the other hand live a couple of miles the other way so I have to drive. It`s easier for me because I got into town earlier and after going to the building society I had a look around some clothes shops.  I found some nice things that I wanted to try on so I asked the shop assistant if she would keep them behind the counter until later.  Not that it did me any good.  In all I tried on 4 skirts, 3 blouses and a pair of casual trousers, none of which looked very nice at all.  I ended up buying a short sleeved cardigan, or shrug as I think they call them now.  It`s an oatmeal colour which is  neutral and I `ll be taking it on holiday and I`ll be taking it on holiday with the cooler evenings in mind.  I`ll be going shopping on Tuesday and perhaps I might try Uxbridge, Slough isn`t what it used to be when it comes to clothes shopping.   It just doesn`t have the smaller shops that gave us more choice.  I might take a trip to Tesco and then Asda, they certainly have some nice quality, reasonably priced clothes.  Isn`t it always the way when you have money to spend you can`t find a thing, but when you haven`t got any there are loads of things you like....sigh!

I weighed myself this morning and though I shouldn`t complain I`ve gained more weight than I`d like.  I`m not very tall, 5`4", so I really can`t carry it off.  Besides, all my clothes are a 10 or a 12 so I can`t afford to replace everything.  The reason for the gain if I`m honest is,  lack of proper exercise.  I haven`t been going on my long walks with Jake just lately, what with the heatwave and there my hospital visit, also, when I was working my weight was steady.  I really must get back to walking Jake and eating the right things again.

Today I washed the pillows off my bed, nothing unusual about that you say, but it says on the label: Do Not Wash, Hmm...well how am I supposed to clean them then?  Anyway I went ahead and did the deed and when I took them out of the washing machine it looked like I should have done what it said., they looked terrible .  I put them in the tumble dryer and an hour and a half later I had twowhite, fluffy pillows that are as good as new.  The only problem I had was cleaning the fluff and feathers out of the dryer.  There were bits of it flying around the kitchen, most of which got up my nose and sent me into sneezing fits...lol!

Anyway, my friends.  I really must get on with reading journals.  I`ve only read a couple today and I have loads left.  I hope you all have a lovely weekend. Bye Bye for now. :o)
