Jen picked me up and whilst i was waiting the postie came and joy of joys with Tim's belated birthday present, so i left home with the hope that it was a sign that the day would be good, i wasn't disappointed.
Jens driving is shall we say interesting! but we got to Joys clutching our items of clothing to fit on or so i thought!
Joy was waiting for us at her gate and we were so pleased to see each other. Joys home is a delight and always guaranteed a warm welcome. After a few minutes the phone rang, yep it was Linda, late as usual but almost there.
Linda arrived bags in hand, Joy put the coffee on and i hogged the place directly in front of her lovely wood fire!!!
Joy lives out in the sticks with very little passing traffic, in fact the passing traffic is her neighbor!! The common is a haven for wild life and the traveller community leave their horses on the common so we were lucky to get into the garden gate/ The one horse of the day was tethered thank goodness, no Hamish to shoo them away for us should the herd be there!
Jen then let on she had forgotten her item!! not to be left out we soon said she would have to try something of ours!! I'm the shortest and Jen at the moment the biggest. Any clue as to what would happen!!
Undress in front of each other no opportunity to be bashful!! The next hour and a half had us all in hysterical laughter and the pictures taken are not for public viewing. Jen made us swear to a confidentiality clause!!! i just wish you could see them but on the other hand I'm sure we would be arrested!!!
Linda's Kat Slater dress was a hoot!!! and my green dress was so small now that the shoulders came up to my ears and the neck was used as a sling for my chin!!! how the heck i will get to lose enough weight for it to be pulled down into position lord only knows i was zipped in by the girls!! Jen had to fit an orange top on that she rather liked it was, we thought one size to small. Over the head and then Linda to the front and joy to the back pulling pushing and heaving until Jen was in! Hardly able to breathe and i was taking the photos hahahahahaha. Well she said what do you think. I can only say none of could say a word because we hurt so much with laughing. Eventually once rescued from the offending piece of clothing we then realised it was in fact three sizes too small which had us rolling about again!
We all went home with a bag of swapped clothing only to re cycle again when we lose weight!!
Out to lunch to Ely and for a walk around, maybe shop!!!
As Linda has bad knees and a bad back and Jens back was bad, my knee is improving, Joy drove. Once parked we supported each other along the river side. Again much hilarity because we didn't know who would fall over first!! Arms linked to hold each other up or was it to pull the other one down none of us worked it out!!!
Found a pub and all decided to stick to the diet and were very good when ordering. Long chat about how we were doing and shared useful tips etc it really was fab. Lunch arrived and Jens was inedible, the waitress then said to Jen they had lots of complaints about it!! rather than wait for another meal i asked the waitress to take mine to the kitchen and put it in two bowls so we could share!!!! we had a few looks anyway on her return Jen was told the soup had now been taken off the menu!!
The sun was shining and we accosted a member of the public to take a photo of us all. This will be posted at the bottom of the blog!!!
Grand walk around the Cathedral and grounds and then to the shops!!! It just got better and better!! headed for coffee i bought cos i lost the least weight!!! thank goodness no cakes!!
We had the bestest day of carefree abandon and it was as if we were all girls again. Meet again in a month!!! well we will see each other Sunday for Jacks Christening but that on Sunday.
I got home just after 5 and was told by Tim that Tom has booked Rocky in for Doggy day care on Saturday so we can go up and see him. I am terrified of dogs!!! so that was something else to look forward to.
So it was another early start and off to Doncaster to see Tom.
Tom has bought a Capri and wanted his dad to take him to Scunthorpe to fetch it home. So off we went and the scenery was beautiful. Another sunny day!!
Got the car and followed him home and managed to get some good photos of him on the road. The sound of the engine roared and reminded us both of when the car was very popular when we were younger. The engine growled at you and you could feel the vibration under your feet when standing next to it!!!
It was fab to see and spend time together.
Managed to get home just in time to get a pressie for little Jack!!
What to wear for the Christening, well wardrobe full and nothing fits!!!! hope what I'm wearing stays together all day!!
Here is the picture of us all together
Jennie, Me Joy and Linda
Today they taught me that 'Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass...its learning to dance in the rain.'
I'm sure i am a victim of body snatchers and i am the host in the one they left behind. I want the old one back pretty sharpish!!! i will put some more pics on tomorrow but i better get to bed because its another early start. Oh and i had a Mc D today shame on me but Tomorrow is another day..............
