I KNOW IT'S TOO SOON

BUT I'm doing it anyway!

I'm sorting out my clothes. 

If it doesn't fit me now and I am never likely to want to wear it again (or at all) ... I'm throwing it OUT.

I made a start on it yesterday afternoon, and after an hour or so of sorting... I had one big black sack full for the rubbish, and another one full of stuff for the Hospice Shop.

Today I'm going through all the clothes in my drawers.
AND I am going to get all the clothes in the roof (attic) down and go through them too!  There is heaps up there, most of it is small stuff that I wore after I lost all the weight years ago.

I don't expect to fit even half of it again, so I'm going to get rid of a lot of it.  It is only going to bother me knowing I can't wear it.

I expect this job to take me all morning!  
Apart from that, no other plans for the day.

Oh and before I forget... I spent almost all day yesterday catching up on blogs!  And I used a new site instead of Google Reader... because Google Reader is going to kill itself on the 1st of July.   Arse. 

I'm hoping I've done the move over to a new Reader/Feeder properly?  Now I'm using 'Feedly'. I used it yesterday and I like it.  
Best feature?
You can delete blogs from your list with a simple click.  Unlike Google Reader, which never let me delete ANYONE no matter how hard I tried!

Fingers crossed it performs well and doesn't die on July 1st too!  


The other change today:  I have had to put Comment Moderation on for ALL COMMENTS.  A particularly disgusting, vulgar comment got through the SPAM filter and was published on my blog yesterday morning!   I deleted it as soon as I saw it, but a few people did see it too... sorry, but that was beyond my control.   NOT ANYMORE THOUGH.  

Now if you leave a comment, it will not be published until I have had a chance to moderate  comments during the day.

This is most annoying as the system I had going was working well.  But there is no way in hell I want any comments like yesterday's getting published again!

Lastly for now, I made another one of those cute Drawstring Bags, this time I put padding in the 'body' of the bag and quilted it.  I plan on putting my camera in this pretty bag when I want to just throw me camera in me handbag, giving it some protection from bumps.

ABOVE:  I love this bag!  The three primary colours go together so well.  What do you think?

Give me ideas for the next one... what colours?  I plan on making all my grandkids one for next Christmas, with a little personal gift inside.

ONWARD...

 My little bags are this big:

ABOVE:  thanks Brylee.... the bag on the left is not padded, the one on the right is.

Weird how I've gone for yellow both times!  I'm not a fan of yellow at all, but they look so cute!

ABOVE:  WE HAVE RAIN!!!  Here's hoping it rains all day, and tomorrow too. 

Kelly.... not today you can't!  You are staying with Lacy and Keera, who have both had a nasty tummy bug.  You could already have caught it, so you cannot come to my house!  I will bring them down to Hamilton next weekend when we come down for Rena's 5th Birthday.

It's done.  All the clothes that I hope to fit again, those that Kelly can look through and those for the Hospice Shop... all sorted.
Such a good feeling.

ABOVE: two big boxes for ME.  I can't wait to actually fit them again.
All the SMALLER stuff has either gone in a pile for Kelly or I had already given it away.  
I have held onto several pairs of small jeans.... I just can't part with them right now!  (they are sizes 10, 11 and 12)  I'm never going to fit them again... but I still can't part with them yet.

Is that silly?

We have had steady rain/heavy drizzle all day!  I hope it's falling where it's desperately needed.... on farms all over the country.

I'm off to play MONOPOLY with the kids... it's that sort of day.  *smiles*

Stew and I went and did the grocery shopping.  While we were out, Auckland experienced two moderate earthquakes!  Very rare event.  No damage done.  Just rattled a lot of people.  

End of Day: Steve cooked his chicken/mushroom/leek dish again tonight.  It is just so damn nice not to be cooking every night!  I love it!
No damage or injuries from this afternoons little earthquake... and I didn't even feel it.
