Saturday

This morning I had intended to drop a couple of dresses off at a local charity shop, they are brand new but both are a size 18, much too big for me so I'll never wear them. I have a bad habit of buying clothes that are far too big, this is fuelled by Steve's constant complaints about how massively fat I am. I have finally realised that Steve's complaints are caused by his own inadequacies, he wears 3XL clothes, he is about 5' 6. I'm not claiming to be skinny, I'm a size 12/14 but usually wear a 14/16 for comfort. 

Steve insisted on coming with me to drop off the dresses, he first suggested that I might get lost and when I explained that I knew the way he said the area I was going to could be dangerous. It's hardly Beirut but he came along anyway. I managed to persuade him to walk there but he insisted on catching the bus home as his leg was painful!

I realised that I'd managed 6000 steps and was very pleased, it's what I aim for but rarely manage. I usually only get to 5500.

Was he kinder to you before he had his medical issues?

DH would buy my favourite cakes and biscuits when I was trying to lose weight. It seemed that if he couldn’t lose weight then neither should I. I have succeeded though, just having breakfast later and avoiding UPF.

Oh my poor back.

I'm back from helping Cass and I'm completely knackered. I folded a mountain of clean washing so it could be put away and I kept the...
