41. WHERE WERE YOU BORN?
I wasn't born. I was knitted.

Well? Ummm. I bought a new pair of jeans on Friday. Since losing weight my clothes are getting kind of baggy (yey!) and I decided to get a new pair. So the one's I am in (too big) are 14's. So I thought right! Try a pair of 14's and a pair of 12's. (stay with me here) I tried the 12's first and they were .... TOO big! I had to sit down for a minute on the cubicle chair (not I did).

So I got dressed (not an easy feat, this gorilla suit takes some getting in and out of I can tell ya!) and fetched a pair of ten's. I was cringing trying them on. I should have taken a picture of my face in the dressing room mirror (not really, who wants to see a gorilla with a perm and big pants?) and they fit!!!! I had to have a lie down. I haven't worn size 10's since I was - well? about 10? and I was convinced I never would until I was decomposing!!!

So I fairly skipped home (I must pop back and fetch the car tomorrow). And burst through the door to tell Hubby the good news. Oh, that's great babe, say's he looking up momentarily from defleaing the dog.

Mmmm. Not QUITE the reaction I was looking for. So I phoned a couple of girlfriends to tell them the good news. F*ck Off! They both said (yes both of them). I don't think they were pleased for me

So lets put this in perspective for a moment. I'm pleased For that read f*cking over the moon delighted. But really it means nothing. OK? I now own a pair of size 10 jeans that look great!

But I also own a pair of size 14's that fit exactly the same way, and a pair of size 12's that won't do up.

Sizing is B*llocks, completely and utterly. It means NOTHING and depends on the manufacturer obviously (size 10's were from Sainsbury's
Yes only the best designer brands for yours truly!)

But it made my day! and clearly matters to other girls too? So why is this? The media, all the skinny emaciated peeps that are a size ZERO, certainly WON't get there until I'm decomposing and anyhow, that has GOT to be a made up size.

So WHY does it matter. Yes? you are the back, and YOU in the tiny orange jumper?

Thoughts please?????
