Blue is the colour – Day 16

Unbelievably it was snowing when I woke up this morning.  The middle of April, well into spring and we get snow.

With few blue winter clothes left I had add thick black tights and a cardigan to this blue, heart patterned summer dress fit for purpose and still #wearblueforcharlie

But on a more positive note the cold weather did give me the perfect opportunity to spend a ‘movie’ afternoon watching Star Wars with my lovely Grandson

And as he wore a jumper with a pair of blue boots on the front I’ll donate and extra £1 to the Charlie Cookson Foundation for him.

Blue is the colour – Day 15

After the success of yesterday’s dress – it’s not every day I get asked out by a stranger (I can’t actually remember the last time I got asked out at all) – deciding what to wear today was never going to be easy.  After all whatever I wear that’s unlikely to happen again.

But I needed to cheer myself up and #wearblueforcharlie.  So I went back to the things in my wardrobe I haven’t worn for a while.  And I came up with this navy and cream lacey dress.

I loved it when I got it.  But unfortunately I’ve looked a bit like beached whale in it for quite some time so gave up on wearing it.  And you know – I don’t think it looks to bad now.  I know I’m never going to be a size 10 again (wouldn’t be good for the wrinkles anyway) but at least is shows I’m heading in the right direction.

So that’s me feeling quite happy and another £1 for the Charlie Cookson Foundation.

Blue is the colour – Day 14

One question made my day

It’s been a funny sort of day. For starters I’ve been in London and trying to find time to post has been a nightmare.  So I’m writing this on the train on the way home.

I was in London for a union meeting and as I’m sure you can imagine blue isn’t the most popular colour. But I pledged to #wearblueforcharlie  every day in April and that wasn’t going to change today.

I decided it was probably best to avoid ‘tory blue’ (I had brought several options with me) so chose to go for this pale blue dress.

And, for two reasons, I’m really pleased you I did.

Firstly I haven’t worn this dress for nearly two years.  Not because I don’t like it – I do but because it didn’t fit.  So my success in the dieting game has opened up a whole new (or should I say old) wardrobe for me.

Secondly, and this is what made my day.   I got asked out! By a complete stranger!! At the train station!!!  And before my sons say anything.  He wasn’t old, he wasn’t ugly and he wasn’t blind.  In fact he seemed quite nice.

Of course I said no.  After all I was in London and I don’t live there and he was a complete, albeit attractive, stranger.  But it did make me feel good about myself.

Two and a half hours after getting on the train, with the internet cutting in and out, I’ve finally finished this post so please take pity on me and help me raise funds for the Charlie Cookson Foundation
