We've almost finished the dining room. Carpet down, curtains up, old sideboard back and new unit in. The new unit has glass doors so I wanted to show some nice glasses, and I forgot I had these. The coloured sherry glasses were my grandma's. When I look at them I can picture them in my grandparents glass cabinet, next to the fire (which always seemed to be on - I think it heated the water too). And the whisky glasses were my mum's and they remind me of my parents having drinks parties and mum always drinking whisky and ginger.
It's funny how just looking at an object can bring back such strong memories. Especially things that you haven't seen for a while. And it's not just thinking of the memories, it actually makes you feel all warm and cosy inside. Unless of course it's bad memories and then you don't feel so good! I am a massive believer that money should buy experiences rather than stuff, but I'm proving to myself that stuff is important too. I hope I leave my children things that bring them happiness when I'm gone. I'm pretty such my daughter is thinking definitely- my jewellery. Lol
So, talking of experiences. Our holiday was amazing and I hope we get to go back soon. I put 2lb on but I'm confident that will come off in a few days. However, looking at the photos there are so many that I think I look fat in. This makes me sad as I've lost such a good amount of weight and I'm wearing size 12 clothes. In fact I bought a satin skirt from Tesco that was a bit too big! Saying that though, size 12 is bigger than it used to be, and my BMI is not quite in the normal range yet. I think I could be slimmer/lighter but no way on this earth would I even consider dieting!! Summer is coming and with that healthier food so you never know. In the mean time I need to remind myself how far I've come and how great I look.
