We have had a bit of a funny day today. We were expecting to have our daughter here with her OH, our grandson and her mother in law and sister in law. To cut a long story very short, they didn't make it and are now aiming to come on Sunday.
I was quite disappointed as I was looking forward to seeing them and I had also put in quite a bit of effort to make sure that the house is looking good and everything in place to give a lovely welcome to her in-laws. They are from Nigeria and we have only met them once.
When we finally knew that they weren't going to get here it was already gone lunch time. It did mean that we had a free afternoon so we decided to head to Peterborough, a trip that we had been planning for Sunday. I don't usually go anywhere near the shops at this time of year but I was down to only 2 bra's that fit me and I really didn't want to be waiting until after Christmas.
We didn't have to go into the city centre, which is just as well as I don't think I could have braved that! There is a retail park as you come into the city and Marks and Spencers are there. Best place for bra's in my humble opinion. It was an easy trip in (about 25 miles) and we managed to park easily too. In fact. it wasn't horrendously busy.
The purchasing of the bra's was a little traumatic as the ones that I chose to try on were all the wrong size! It would seem that I have shrunk by a cup size. Why can't you just lose weight from your hips and bottom? Anyway, I managed to get three. One white, one black and one pink.
While I was messing around getting very hot and bothered in the changing room, Simon had been mooching around the store. He had spotted a very cute, faux suede, skirt and jumper which he thought would appeal to me. Being a good hubby and being very well aware that I am now a size 12, he presented them to me to try on.
You are never going to believe this......... The size 12 was way too big! It isn't that long ago when I was stunned to be wearing a size 12! The sales lady went off to fetch me a size 10 with me shaking my head in disbelief. No way will I get into a size 10.
I am still in shock. The 10 not only fits perfectly but it looks pretty good too. The jumper was also changed for a size 10. I could actually get to like this shopping lark, now I can pretty much choose whatever I like and know I have a reasonable chance of looking half way decent in it. These photos are not the best but I just have to show you.
So, a good afternoon in the end, followed by fish and chips for dinner and then a relaxing evening. Hopefully we will see our guests on Sunday.
