Today was a good day...well until they put Eurovision on.

Had a good day today.  It was about to go downhill at one point, due in part, I guess, to me not feeling too well and not driving to the standard to satisfy the LOVE OF MY LIFE.  But he stopped it spiralling out of control by holding my hand and we threw ourself into the task at hand; getting me a suit for my interview!!  Those that have visited here before may have read that I was going to try for a new job.  Well, I have an interview!!! We didn't get a complete outfit but managed to get a suit and some beautiful new shoes.  As we were hunting for a new blouse to go with my new suit I spotted a pair of crazy trousers (that look like a long skirt) on a mannequin in a shop window.  I told the LOVE OF MY LIFE and he said to go and try them on.  Well, normally I'd have said no and carried on walking.  But this time I agreed.  They were the kind of things I would have brought years ago when I was slim.  Anyway, I tried on a size 10 (I'm down from a size 16 to a size 12 since the beginning of the year) and they looked good but a little too long even with my new shoes on.  So I asked the LOVE OF MY LIFE to get a size 8 and I could get into them!  I can't tell you how good that felt even if they did have an elasticated waist.  I used to be a size 8 and I miss that :-( but it looks like it might be possible to start feeling a bit better about myself which will hopefully help bring my twinkle back.  There was a little bit of twinkle today with the kindness and time that the LOVE OF MY LIFE  has given/shown me today.  Giving up his weekend to go shopping, wait around changing rooms, give advise, go through the tills and carry it all.  Shame he is spoiling it all making me watch Eurovision.  (only joking...sort of)
