Confidence / School Gate...

 

I hit 40. I made promises to myself - rather like along the lines of New Years resolutions - you know - I will do more (some) exercise, I'll gain some confidence (joke), I'll stop wearing track suit bottoms - especially for the school run...

 

Which made me think - I have hundreds of clothes so why do I wear the 'comfort stuff' as I call it...

 

And these were my thoughts -

1. Sometimes I wear the track suit to hide, to go unnoticed.

2. I 'dress up' to make myself feel confident (I need to do this more).

3. I 'dress up' because I do feel confident (this is what I want to do).

I make no bones about it, I am terrified of the 'school run', aspects of it fill me with dread but in a bid to be stronger I have a new leather skirt winging its way over to me - and to compensate for such a 'grown up' item of clothing, I thought is mix it with a sweatshirt - hell! I'm not going to win the war in confidence in one swoop - but I can do baby steps!

QCumber... Lets help London's Homeless...

So here it is, as we all know life is strange. It twists and turns sometimes with our help and sometimes just by the 'bigger picture'.

I came home this morning from the hospital - breast enlargement (or in my mind - actually claiming a bust!) or as it feels having had my ribs smashed and relocated.
First things first - emails and amongst the general 'stuff' was an email of incredible interest. QCumber...

And these are the reasons why -

1. Sweatshirts - I love them.

2. One has a picture of watermelons on it - after my op - amusing.

3. AND most important - for every purchase made between 3rd and the 10th November - QCumber will donate one jumper and five pieces of fruit to the homeless.

Worthwhile - yes - must dash - I've an order to place...
