Last year I bought three pairs of trousers and when they arrived I discovered that they all needed taking up. They have languished in the dressing room since I bought them and then yesterday while shopping in Asda we spotted some jeans in Tony's size. Two pairs for twelve pounds was a bargain so of course he bought two pairs. They also needed taking up, so during the afternoon I sat in the conservatory with a quilt over my knees and took up all five pairs of trousers. I hadn't felt like trouser shortening in absolutely ages but it is now all done and dusted and we both have trousers we can actually wear.
Our friends were due over for supper this last night but are down with the lurgy so it had to be cancelled. Tony and I scrolled through Netflix and found 'Designated survivor'... We binge watched five episodes and are now hooked. We've watched some really good series on Netflix and are pleased as punch that Alexander and his friends took out subscriptions to a variety of things.. They all share them and each only pay for one thing. It meant that during the dark months of my hip recovery debacle I was able to spend many long and painful hours during the night watching TV.
Well done. When it's done one wonders why it took so long - I know I do anyway!

I can't begin to tell you just how much of a relief it is to find that even a high-energy person like you can sometimes put off those kinds of jobs! I have similar trousers for both my husband and me, sitting in a pile waiting to be taken up. And after I do a job like that, I wonder why I didn't do it sooner; it's not that it's difficult. Just picky, I guess. Plus, I always stab myself numerous times with the pins, so there's that :)
ReplyDeleteWell done on the sewing, always a job well done but the kind of job we all put off. Emma
ReplyDeleteIts a job that I always seem to put off and then I am thrilled when I finally get around to it.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed. That's quite an accomplishment. I have a few pair of socks that need darning, too. You have inspired me.
