Hi all,

Well, since last Sunday's update of the house sale, we have now sold the car and the truck since Friday and are the proud owners (well renters) of a Kia Rio!! Can't fit the 3 wheeler pram in the boot but managed to fit the Mclaren buggy in! Have put the washer, gas fire, loads of size 10 Versace/Moschino etc clothes (that I haven't worn since 1996 but decided to ship anyway in case I suddenly lost 3 stone) on Ebay and am just waiting for some bids! After a lot of thought I realised that I probably won't ever again wear size 10 leather trousers (don't want to look like Sharon Osbourne, even if I was skinny enough, which I most definitely am not!) While I was on there I accidently (yeah right!) bought some Christian Dior sunglasses for $56, oh well, it is my 37th birthday on Friday, thought I deserved a treat. Can't do a lot else until the buyer's finance is approved, but am trying to do things to keep busy and make me feel like I'm in control!!! We'll have to arrange a night out before I go.

Sounds as though things are really moving along for you...well done. I brought loads of clothes with me in 1996 and haven't worn most of them. I read somewhere if you haven't worn something for more than a year...throw it out. Easier said than done.

I read that too, isn't it depressing! The more depressing thing is that I realised I have shipped all these clothes across the world hoping that I might once again be 9 stone and have only just realised that even if I shed that much weight, I would look like mutton wearing them!! Both of us decided to sort the wardrobe out last week and thought we were harsh, I then realised that I had 2 black bags full of stuff to ship that I would only wear if I was 21 and thin! It's nostalgia I think, I always wished my mum had kept her clothes from the 60's for me so wanted to keep mine. Just realised I've got 2 boys and they probably won't be interested !!! Still keeping those little black dresses though, just in case!

Jo

Ill have to let Laura have a browse!!!

When we having a girlie night out???

By the way looks like i might be on my way back home in August Yeah!!!!!!! got a place for the kids in a good school near where we lived before and will commute there if need be!!!

Cant wait 4 months and i might be home!!!!!!!

p.s Jo dont bother keeping them clothes you got Asda, Next and Primark to look forward too!!!!!

Lets sort out a night for us all.....

We shipped loads of stuff over to Oz, shipped loads back to UK again, only to chuck most of it out when it arrived here last week

Most of it hadn't been worn over there either

And yes you have to make room for all the stuff you will get from the shopping trips to Primark, H & M, Tesco and Asda

How funny - we must all do that: keep clothes in the vain hope...........
I too gave up and sold all my designer clobber on ebay. Lucky if I buy myself a pair of jeans from Tesco these days, and they certainly aren't a 10 either

LOL you made me chuckle! I'm just about living between 2 pairs of jeans because I've turned into such a blob I don't fit in anything else, honestly it's disgusting

I'm just going to trash most of my clothes, they were pants anyway and like you I'll never be fitting in anything in the closet again. I'd so like to be a size 12. I've told my husband I'm visiting a plastic surgeon when I get home to get a tummy tuck and I must get off this computer

I mean, look at these - I used to love them! Can you imagine me in them now Kath?!!! Wouldn't even get one leg in!!

Well, at least you hope not!!

Long time no hear folks. I've been lying low for a while. I get too fed up when I come into here a lot. Uni work is burying me too.

Kath, have you sold the house yet?

Count me in for a girlie night out.

Aaahhhhh, drool drool, Tesco, Asda, Primark, my favourite shops to browse for the clothes, oh they do some lovely stuff in them!

I am so pleased for you all that are going back this year, good luck and as everyone has said, dont bother taking clothes back that you haven't worn for ages, its just not worth it, you will go nuts when you see the prices in Primark for a t-shirt!

Plants

What the hell are those JO

84% feed back too...........tut tut...mine is 100% and thats just buying not selling

You lot going back to UK make me ...don't think i can stand being here another f****** year.!

Yes looks like I will be on the move toooo.........

Kath

Oh dear!! wtf


We brought all our clothes over, have hardly worn any of them over here, and are taking them all back again. Wish we had left most of them in our loft!
Cant wait for a mammoth shopping trip when we get back next week, Primark here we come!!
