Smart. 

They're gorgeous 😍 

Yay! Went to the shop to collect my birthday boots from my daughter in the correct size .. ( my feet have shrunk🤣) Tried on some clothes to spend vouchers I got for my birthday.. discovered the size 14 jackets and long sleeved tshirts were too big, ordered Size 12 and collecting them today or tomorrow 🎉 Still got to lose more to fit comfortably into my 2 blue Polish bargain dresses , but they will match these boots😍😍 Excited about clothes for the first time in YEARS!! Have to remind myself my BMI is still 27 , so although I'm surprisingly fitting into uk 12/US size 8 (thanking God for vanity sizing ❤️), after 4 spinal ops in the last 18 months , I am now looking at hysterectomy , nerve cauterisation in the other side of my back and hip surgery.I wonder if the surgeons have a little party to decide who goes first??🤔🤔 So, although I've reached my original NSV of ( some) mainstream size 12 clothes, I'll have to plod onwards and downwards to a healthy BMI 🤔😊 

Beautiful boots! My feet have shrunk too. How funny. I need to go out and buy some new ones, which is a shame as some of mine are still like new. Wish my waist would shrink as well. I've lost 1/2 inch off it - now 35.5 inches. Amazing you can get into size 12's. I'm not there yet. How tall are you Poppy? And do you know when you're likely to have the hysterectomy? 

Thanks all! Doobs I'm 5 ft 61/2 And I'm also having an ultrasound this week, on Thursday, then they'll decide after that .. depends on waiting lists and when my other surgeries are scheduled 

Ah, you're taller than me. I'm only 5ft 3ins. So we're both going for ultrasounds this week! One of my granddaughters asked me if I was pregnant - lol! She's only heard of someone having ultrasounds for that 🤣 

Hmmm how many calories in these? lol 

Calorie and carb free treats ... yaaaay🤣 

Isn't vanity sizing nuts? Love the boots!  

I'd better not be pregnant either Doobs 🤣🤣🤣 

They are pretty!!! 

Thanks.. wearing them to work today ( with my new I indigo blazer), #excited 

I bet you get lots of compliments on your lovely boots.  

LOVE the boots...and you! Congrats 

Super cute! 

Thanks all 🤗
