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
ReplyDeleteI know my Alex. I am sure he will be round to Morrisons to get other stuff (he is 26, after all) but if I have a basic menu for the week worked out, he can decide where he wants to join me and where he wants to do his own thing. That way we both know where we are.
DeleteHe's not awkward in any way but he is autistic and this is the best way to work round stuff.
I've realised I need a few more things though - milk and potatoes, for example, so it will be another trip to Morrisons later on. :-) xx
Chilling sounds good! I need to do some of that this week!x
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Kezzie - wishing you lots of chilling time! xx
DeleteOh, I was like that on Thursdsy night. I couldn't keep awake. Xx
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I just couldn't keep my eyes open. I woke up this morning and thought 'Hope I didn't write anything stupid' but I don't think I did - no more than usual, anyway! :-) xx
DeleteI'm looking forward to seeing more of your handiwork. Red and gold sparkly sounds good . . . and festive.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it? I was sorry there was no sparkly green but maybe I can google for some. There wasn't actually much of any of the sparkly stuff left - I nearly missed the bus there, for sure. xx
DeleteTut, tut, all that yarn buying! As requested I'll shout: I heartily approve!! Happy crafting and enjoy your week with Alex! xx
ReplyDeleteI know. It is absolutely shocking, isn't it. So bad. :-D xx
DeleteForgot to say: Happy Birthday to Beth! Hope it's a good one! x
ReplyDeleteThanks, Annabeth, I'll let her know. xx
DeleteI love chilling, but that is pretty rare around here right now. The most chilling I get is when I am knitting in the evening. I know you will enjoy your time with Alex. I am on a yarn fast so hearing about your purchases is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I should be too, Jackie, but I cracked. You are obviously a lot more strong minded than I!
DeleteAll change re Alex. He's coming next week now, not this. xx
Red and gold sparkly- I can't wait to see the baubels when they are finished. A trip to Hobbycraft is always dangerous for my purse :-)
ReplyDeleteShouldn't be allowed, should it? A real threat to life as we know it! lol! xx
