Breathing again

I have never been so glad to take off my trousers.

Long explanation. I wanted to wear a Christmas jumper for the Man Shed meal but I'd washed my jeans and they were still wet. So I squeezed into a pair of jeggings. I've gone up a size since I last wore them. 

I mastered the art of breathing but bending my knees was tricky.

I see adverts for all-in-one body shapers. It's all very well squeezing everything in but where does it go? 

As it turned out I was wearing a pinny anyway so nobody saw my jumper.


Meanwhile a curious email from the seller of the baggy Christmas jumper. "We will give you 30% back as compensation and you keep the jumper. How does that sound?"

Hm, I don't know. I'll try it on again and decide. And consult the experts i.e. Husband and Elder Son, about whether this is an even bigger con.

It can be a shock when clothes you rely on let you down! 🤣😂

If it's not as advertised then it should be 100%! I think these guys are a scam.
I was trying to buy winter boots online yesterday from what I thought was a decent company, judging from the consumer comments. Probably written at hq. Anyway when I got to the payment function, they'd added in other things I hadn't even seen. So I didn't complete the transaction. Now they're pestering me to finish up and their link takes me to reordering. I'm guessing they'll then charge me both!

It's the season for eating too much good food.

Anything I have to squeeze into gets pushed to the back of the closet. I'm all about comfort.

Oh how I hate that to put on something and it doesn’t fit!, especially pants.

I have some body shaping undergarments, but I seldom wear them. It's tricky to get them out of the way when I need to pee.

Love,
Janie

I love the work you have done with the Man Shed, social isolation is a 21st century issue that most people like to pretend doesn't exist.
