I'm so pleased Marion. That was just the intent.

Good luck with your op shopping..lol.

Hello all you lovely people. Just wanted to tell you that my friends were over the moon with the clothes I got for them at the swap. Very few were unsuitable and those have gone to the op shop.

Think I'm going to have to pay the op shop a visit this week as I need some pants to tide me over as all mine are too tight.

Marion

Yes Nicole - was a talking and laughing point!!!

He just can't be normal - you should have seen the shirt I managed to talk him out of wearing.(lol)
Was a fun day though.
hugs
Jilly

just had a look at the pics in the gallery, looks like you all had fun.

I must mention those arrrr bright shorts MOTH, now they must have been a real talking point.
lol

No worries Jen.

That's mine Janey, I will grab it off you at the next GT I can get to if that's okay.
Thanks
Jen

Hey gals. I have a plate that is missing it's owner. A white plate with flowers on it that sported some cake.

If you need it back in a hurry let me know and we can arrange something. If not I am happy to bring it along to the next meet.

Sorry I missed your Sunday clothes swap.
Sounds like you all had a wonderful time and got some lovely clothes :)
I was in Kuala Lumpur a much need holiday :)
Will get to meet you all soon I hope.
Will have to arrange another lunch day sometime.

Hey Jen... it was me with the cherry ripe slice... but unfortunately I did not make it..... it took me all of 5 steps from the car to the shop to say can I have 8 of those please! Sorry!! But if I find the recipe I will send it to you! I am sure I have seen one on the internet before! They were yummy weren't they! MMMMM

Hey, thanks for opening up your home to us all Janey. Was a great day and so nice to see everyone.

I think I need to go clothing shopping with Jan, I love her sense of style and wouldn't mind pinching her hairstyle either. I can't wait to start shopping for size 16's soon, i'm nearly there. yippee!!

No whoever made that cherry choc slice it was utterly divine and I would love the recipe...or perhaps I should not have it....lol. Was tempted to swipe a slice on my way out the door, but resisted.

Jen

hi everyone,

sorry i missed out on yesterday, been in heaps of pain with endometriosis :(
it sounded like you were all having heaps of fun when i dropped off the clothes.

take care, catch up with the next one!

cheers

del.

Hi everyone,what a great day had by all..
Big thank-you to Janey your coffee skills were amazing(yum)..
Thanks to all with your great advise, I learnt so much,cant wait to do it all again.

Luv
sharon (kayleigh)
PS Lynette ,just listen to your heart and you will be fine.

btw everyone, he was online again last night, which actually surprised me, thought I wouldn't hear from him again cause he didn't get what he wanted. he just wants to put this behind us and move forward, basically a small cliche/test in our relationship (our first fight I guess) and suggested maybe I come to him when I can (not asking me for $) instead of the other way around. Anyway, am more cautious than ever, but have a small glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe he is who he says. But will see what happens over the next few months. Thanks again everyone for listening

thanks Janey for a great afternoon, think we all did really well and it cheered me up no end, so thanks again. I managed to score about half dozen tops and a couple of skirts, all fit except one of the skirts (which will once I loose a bit more). so a good day all rounds.

Luv you all heaps, and thanks for listening to my saga and cheering me up.

Thanks everyone - had a great day yesterday - lots of laughs and lots and lots of clothes!!!! It was fantastic to see everyone again.
Thanks Jan for the clothes - amazing and they all fit - thank you so much.
Also thanks Janey for letting us muck your house up - I can't believe the amount of clothes we had - we must have lost lots of kilos this year!!!!!!
See you all soon.
hugs
Jilly

Most definitely easy to organise.. everyone pitched in and sorted out the sizes of clothes... we had heaps and heaps! Quite a few bags went to good sammies/salvos but in all was very good.....
we had sizes ranging from small to 26....... absolutely fabulous!

Hey guys.....sounds like fun, was it easy to organise? Maybe a good way for us brissy ppl to get together?
Linda :)

Thankyou also Janey for your generosity of having the get together at your home today. We were all made very welcome and it was a great afternoon of fun with friends, food, clothes and drinks. Lots of laughs as usual so looking forward to another one soon.

Sharon

Thanks so much Janey, we had fun. I think Steve enjoyed being in the minority with all the ladies around.

I did really well, 2 dresses, 6 tops and some bathers that all fit. I'm much happier now that I have some clothes for my holiday.

Big hugs all round.

Marion

Had a great day today. Boy did we have some clothes to swap. It was
like the January sales.....mayhem. Clothes and bags everywhere...but a
lot of fun. There are still 2 bags in the junk room that we completely
overlooked. Oh well the Sammies are going to do well this Xmas. I have
no idea who got what so don't bother asking me...I was too busy
replenishing coffees. I stood back with Steve and Bruce and had a
giggle at the women. Unusual for me as I'm usually in the thick of
things at a sale but it was a scream to observe for a change.

I have uploaded the photos to the gallery so go have a sticky.

I'm more than happy to open my home anytime to such a wonderful bunch of people. The door is always open.

Thanks to Jilly's marvellous washing up skills and her inability to do nothing there wasn't much to do to clean up anyway Maria so don't sweat it for a second.

Hugs,

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Janey for the use of her lovely house for the clothes swap! Sorry we trashed it and left....LOL....
Once again... good company, good food, good wine/bubbly (not that I had any!!!).....
The Salvos will get a good lot of clothes as well.....

In all had a wonderful time and it was good to have a laugh!

I have no idea if I will be able to make it tomorrow as my parents have Lily and they are meant to be dropping her off sometime tomorrow. I will have to ring them in the morning and see what time they are planning on coming over.

Yes Del, I am.

Hi Marion,

Are you still doing the personal training?

Hi Del, I couldn't work out what Apple was talking about, then I realised. lol

hi Marion,

sorry, just talking about how to make a 5 month old joey go the toilet, slightly off topic lol

What??

hi Apple,

i will feel like i am abusing the little boy in some way!!!!! ive seen my sister toilet him and i have fed him once in the past, he's very cute, but yeah, not looking forward to the wee/poo side of it lol

you stroke down there with a tissue damp with warm water ;)


applesauce

hi

i will be at Janey's on sunday, doing the social visiting doovy thingy on saturday with a sleep over (joey sitting) at my sisters in toodyay.... i get to learn how to make a 5 month old joey wee and poo! joy oh joy! lol

looking forward to seeing everyone on sunday..... will make some banana bread and shall bring that along.... is anyone allergic to walnuts?

del

hi

i am digging through my stuff and got heaps for sunday, fingers crossed i will be there, just trying to sort out some stuff with the boyfriend

toodles!

del

Of course you can Kylie. There's no need to bring clothes to be welcome. Donna has arranged a lingerie hostess too and having a look at the catalogue...there's some really nice things in all sizes. No pressure to buy at all so just come along for the laughs and the drinkies and maybe you may be able to snatch something for yourself from the pile to see you through the Summer.

Can I come just for the social aspect. Dont have any clothes too big to swap as I havent started shrinking yet. But actually I do know where there are a bunch of clothes up for swaps for more mature larger ladies, I could bring some of those. I promise to leave the boob scarf at home.

for the address Janey, I'll be there Sunday ...

Thanks Jilly and Maria.

Not a problem Karma..... it will all be for a good cause!

I'm sure no-one would mind Marion as long as somebody gets good use out of them. I know I have heaps of clothes to take and knowing somebody will have use for them, whether a sleever or not, is a great feeling and its better if you know they are going to somebody in need.
hugs
Jilly

I'm sure quite a bit will go Janey, if my friend can't come on Sunday I'll take stuff for her, she's banded but looking at going on to the sleeve. Also I have a friend who is wheelchair bound and on a pension, I was wondering if anyone would mind me taking a few things for her? She's a big lady and doesn't have many nice things to wear.

Marion

Great news Jen.

Colleen is coming...I just pmed her my address...so hopefully the two of you can tee something up.

I hope you're all coming with empty boots as the piles of clothes are multiplying daily.

Congratulations Jen on reaching 85kg - you are cracking it girl.
Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday - I think Colleen is coming as well so maybe you two can come together?
So many NSV - you must be so happy.
hugs
Jilly

Thanks for the address details Janey. I shall be there with bells on. As I live so far out (near Colleen) it's hard for me to get to many of the get togethers but i'm really looking forward to this one as it's been a while since my last one.

I have reached a milestone guys, 85.8kg...i'm nearly half way throught the 80's...holy crap!!, I desperately want the 70's for xmas, so i've been working my tail off at the gym (i've even started getting some muscles...teehee). So many changes are taking place, I can buy clothing in "normal" shops and theres a gateway at school that has a welded bar in the middle of it and I always had to turn sideways to get through, now I just walk through it straight. I have a lap...the cat still won't sit on it but I have one. I can fit a drink between my thighs when driving the car (couldn't do it before...lol) and I have discovered that in my hubbies ute I can pull up my knees and rest my feet on the dash (i'm soooo classy).

I'm happy with what I have achieved so far, but I want to get the finish line....now not later!!! darn it. My next appt is with my surgeon in 6 months, I really hope I can have this journey finished by then.

Jen

Hi Janey,My username is Kayleigh...
My real name is Sharon...
If you can send me your address,would love to meet up with you, and the rest of the crew at the clothes swap.
Thanks,
sharon

Not a problem at all Marion...Bruce will be there and I'm sure he will be grateful for a little male support.

All are totally welcome whether male or female.

That reminds me, Steve has quite a few clothes that are too big for him now that I will bring along, they might suit someone's hubby. They are mainly shirts sizes around 44-46, polo tops/t-shirts size XL-XXL and office type work pants 107-112. I may even bring him along if he's allowed.

I would love to come to the Clothes Swop next week.
Unfortunately there are a couple of good reasons why I won't be going.

1 / Transportation, as there are no trains near by it would be difficult for me to attend with out some one offering to pick me up and drop me off after.

2 / I don't think any one would have the colours or style of DRESSES that would suite me, with me being a man.

OH YER, men don't were dresses in our society, well most men don’t.

If I don’t see you at Mandurah tomorrow I hope you have a good time next week and remember, if it’s a little too small for you now, it might just look great on you when you loose some more weight.

Sorry gals can't get to the big smoke to pass on clothes. Perhaps if this one is a success we can have another next year.

Have fun

Chook

Hi.

I've pmed all who haven't been to my house before with the address. For anyone who has forgotten just pm me and I will give it to you.

Kaleigh...could you let me know your user name so that I can pm you? Thanks.

Looks like it will be a good turn out and you can bring what you like for eats. I will provide tea and coffee so just bring some savouries and some sweets and we will be golden.

Hugs,
