The weekend

Well first off the wedding dress shopping was a LOT easier than I expected. The lady who was assisting me was lovely and didn't make any of the awful comments I was expecting about losing weight or anything else. I saw four dresses I really liked and one more they're going to bring over from Westbury for me to try. All was well.

However my stomach was not well. I suffered from diarrhoea for most of the weekend and I noticed it corresponded to a few days in a row where I didn't fill in my food and mood diary. This normally links to a point where I'm not eating sensible and I'm living on junk or overdosing on something in particular. I think this time it was chocolate, but I'm not sure. It also corresponded with a resurgence of the earache that has characterised my hayfever this year so I popped some pills, overdosed on water and got plenty of sleep. the result was this morning I managed to get up for half 7, had breakfast and went to Mass for 9am. I did a few bits of shopping then, so now I need to clear out about 4 shelves in the wardrobe (otherwise known as the set of shelves I really need to replace!) and get those items I don't like, don't want to wear, don't fit or don't look right either on ebay or bagged for the charity shop.

I also did some cooking yesterday - some puff pastry from the freezer with tomato puree, mozarella and dried basil made myself a very nice pizza and I've made some breaded turkey for sandwiches for the week. Bread and nutella seem to be working for breakfast and i've got some melon and yoghurt for sweetness. I'm going to put some things in the slow cooker this evening to be ready and cooked for tomorrow night's dinner - so that will be a sort of chilli with tortilla chips and cheese. Planned dinners all sorted then cos there's pasta and sauce in the fridge as well. No need for more cooking all in all.

Right now, I'm going to get a load of washing on the go, do the washing up and prepare the kitchen for an onslaught on an OU assignment. In about 3 hours I'll tackle ebay.

I've done a lot this weekend all in all and I've a good long day ahead of me now as well. :)
