This morning was the first Slimming World group with our new consultant, Heidi (for me - she started last week but I was still away, of course). There's going to be a certain amount of adjusting to someone else's way of organising things and I had to ask where things were a few times but overall it was a good group and I got my free magazine which was really nice.
What else was nice was that I am half pound lighter than I was at my last weigh in a fortnight ago - that made me very happy!

I wore the slipover and people said nice things about it, bless them.
After that was done, I came home, had breakfast, and went shopping. First of all it was to Hobbycraft and before you all shout at me, here's why.
The neck warmer/cowl thingy I am making for the girls is in an aran fair isle style yarn. The hand warmers need DK yarn - I tried using the Aran but it just didn't work either in size or in pattern. So I thought I would see if I could match up the three colours in DK yarns and I got very close, close enough that they really do go together.

I was hoping to show you the first finished one with a photo but I haven't quite finished it, I need to finish the cuff. I think it looks nice though.
And yes (you can shout now), I picked up other colours too, including some sparkly red and gold for the baubles. I do have ideas . . .

Then I drove to M&S and Aldi to do the food shopping. As Alex is staying with me next week (more about that in another post), I needed more than usual and oh, my goodness, didn't it make a difference!!
By the time I was home and had put everything away and had lunch, I was halfway through the afternoon so I just sat and chilled.
And I am still chilling . . . chilling is good. It's probably time to get myself up to bed before I fall asleep on the keybo-sekldfjdfklgjfdsklgvskl;vjsdfijasdmbflb,bszkdhaskj
<grin>
Sleep tight!!
That’s good that you are having Alex to stay and you have already stocked up. I sent the mitts pattern to a friend-I screenshotted from Readly. I’m tired today and am typing this in bed-me bad😂 Catriona
