I "splashed out" yesterday.....
A few weeks ago I went in to Pagani and tried on a jacket - size L.
It was too big, and the shop chick offerred to order in a Medium for me.
At the time I declined, but I went back a few days later and got her to order it.
Well, I got the phone call yesterday - it was there!
Off to the shop I went......
I grabbed a few other things to try on and headed to the changing room, "just in case" the jacket didn't fit, I would be in the safety of the changing cubicle, and no one else would see.
Well, I needn't have bothered!
It fits perfectly!
And the funny thing???
The green jersey I took in there with me - was too big!!!
So I got a MEDIUM in that too!!!
I was so pleased with myself!!!!!It is such a buzz to be able to actually fit stuff in the normal shops!
I don't think I will EVER get sick of it! lol
Righto... what else??
Ummmm, I have found the PERFECT chocolate cake recipe!
Yeah, yeah, I know - this is suppose to be a blog about weight loss right?
hahahahaha.... well, there are other people in theis house that can still eat yummy stuff, so I thought I would be a good hostess last week, and make a choccie cake for our house guests - Cara & Owen.
I made it on Saturday morning, iced it later that day, and then COMPLTELY forgot to bring it out and offer it to our guests all weekend!!!!
Anyway.......... I ws told that the cake gets better the longer it is left to sit, and I have to agree!!
Jeremy & Rhian had the last two pieces today, and I pinched a bit.... DIVINE!!!!
It is more moist and tasty today than what it was on Sunday!!
Here is the recipe:
