Déjà vu and Jumble Sale finds

I wish i could find dresses i like in my size at jumble sales but they are few and far between everything seems to be in a size 14 , Last year i bought this dress and it was very expensive for me at £45.00 , But i could justify the fact that as i am very , very slowly losing weight ( due to my thyroid and beta blockers ) The style of the dress would shrink with me due to the elasticated part and being denim it would last for years , So i was chuffed when i saw  this pink one in the same style that would still shrink with me , It was however a lot cheaper at £19.95 

The original Denim one.





The new pink one .



Two items of clothing i managed to get for myself for 30p each at the latest Jumble sale. 





Three lanterns for £3.00.




This Feather Eiderdown was £2.00 , I managed to get it in the washer and when the weather was nice last week it was pegged out for four days to dry.

The reason for the absence

Hello i am sorry for the lack of blog posts in the last couple of months but i have being doing something that has had a really positive impact on  my health and well being and i really can't believe it, but i had to concentrate on it and only it until i have conquered it , It's something i have dabbled in on and off for years ,Yoga , Adapted Yoga , 
I started off  with just 10 mins a day now i do 50 mins 6  days a week , Whatever my condition, Fibromyalgia  as diagnosed or anything they have yet to diagnose Yoga has helped elevate two of my most problematic symptoms that have controlled my life recently,  One  is the stiffness that has made it  almost impossible to do things like cut my toenails , wash my feet and anything like gardening that i had to get down on the floor to do , The other problem was the muscle spasms so severe that they were so painful and paralyzed me from time to time , It all came to ahead when my stiffness got so bad that i was having problems with my toilet needs , The neurologist prescribed some scary drugs , That had instructions, Don't  drink , Don't drive and Don't stop taking unless you tell your doctor so i researched alternatives to my two main symptoms and Yoga came up again and again, So i gradually increased the time i did it for , I have to adapt a few of the poses like the dancers pose i cannot get my foot in my hand so i just grab my leggings and it works well for me , Some of the movements i will never be able to do properly but i am happy with what i can do and for the first time in years i can do my gardening without it affecting me and the other things listed above, This  is something that i will never give up now , Its made such a fantastic difference with the added bonus of losing inches, So now i am in control and will be back to regular blogging , See you soon xxxx
