Well, it's going to be 38C on New Year's Eve, so I think I ought to do some cooking today, just so I can keep the house cool tomorrow.

* find san choi bau (sp?) recipe and make a shopping list
* buy ingredients. Maybe get some nice grapes etc while I'm out.
* cook it
* maybe look at clothes shop while I'm at the supermarket, because I'm really starting to feel as if I need to hide away because I have nothing to wear. It doesn't help that I bought a pair of 3/4 pants in early December and subsequently lost so much weight that they're now falling off me...
* go to nursery

Ivy's summer holiday fun list begins (please feel free to contribute ideas, because, as I said in Wednesday's thread, I'm stumped):

* give legs some tlc
* give feet some tlc
* while at the supermarket, look at those moisturisers that brown the skin, because a friend sent me a photo she had taken of me in November, and blue legs (Reynaud's!) popping from beneath a summer skirt are NOT a good look tongue


Christmas friend left her knife here on Saturday and I'm going to have to return it. I have an accompanying note written, but am just giving it a day or two to "think" so I can redraft it and make sure it says what I want it to say.

Ivy.

I had to buy new smaller jeans recently, and I still have to pull my belt tight to keep them up.  I forgot my belt one day going to work and my drawers kept wanting to droop.  By the end of the night I was literally holding onto a belt loop while I walked.

Yep! I had that experience: holding onto my trousers while walking down our main street, and being stared at :-).

Aaaaah, Crohn's. Fun, innit.

Hey, at least I am finally losing that weight! tongue

LOL. I regained it, thanks to our ice cream maker and an ongoing urge to "check" the Christmas dessert I'd made to make sure it was ok for guests!

I've lost count of the number of fresh batches I've had to make, because of my "testing". LOL.

Summer fun for Ivy - depends on what exactly you fancy? I go horse riding alot but i'm used to going and have been riding along time now so falling off doesn't phase me much however for a beginer it could be wierd plus adding in the arthritis ect. Its FAB exercise though, all non weight baring just like swimming. You could go play golf?

mum suggested visiting houses and gardens for inspiration on your own, picnics in parks, taking a book with you and lounging in park, visiting any historical areas. It does really depend on where you are, and how your feeling.


We're heading up to Ikea today cos i need to buy a light fixture for my room and mum is hankering after a decent meat fork. So no doubt we will return with bag fulls of stuff!!!

Hey Ivy I am another one that has to walk around holding my pants up too! Its miserable at work walking around all the time and having to pull my pants up. I have gone to the back of the closet for my smaller clothes. I have no idea why I am loosing weight, but I sure wish it would stop. Hugs!

It's frustrating! I took a chance and wore the 3/4 pants again yesterday and still copped more stares from people because I was always hoiking them up... but my smaller clothes don't fit yet. Bah.

Horse riding is a lovely idea, Choc, but I don't think my bottom (fistula etc) would stand it. I really want to buy a bike, too, so I can go on riding adventures that way, but am holding off for the same reason.

I went for a walk along the beach yesterday, and that was nice, though hard work (I'm unfit!). Am thinking of visiting as many galleries as I can, too, and maybe going on one of the free rockpool rambles that are being held for the tourists next week. Picnics are a good idea too. Thanks, Choc.

How was Ikea? Our nearest one is about 300km away, and I think that's probably a very good thing... :-P
