On the home strait...

Started knitting the front of the navy sweater. Got a little too engrossed in Crimewatch and realised that I have messed up a tiny part of the ribbing. It shouldn't show up (aka I can't be bothered to rip it and start again).

I am so glad that I made the switch to Addi Turbos - the knitting seems to glide by although as I have lots of ribbing, moss stitch and cabling to do, hopefully knitting the front won't seem quite as monotonous as the sleeves were.

Can I share my doofus-like behaviour today? After seeing the consultant (another stone and a half to go) I popped into Asda Wal-Mart to do some grocery shopping. I had a rummage through the 'George' clothing section and found the most gorgeous pink, black and red coat. Paid for it out of my £70 bingo winnings and left it in my trolley while I carried on grocery shopping. And that's where it stayed.

Only after I got home, had a cup of green tea and flicked through InStyle did I realise that I'd left it in a trolley. I couldn't rest until I knew for sure that some trash had stolen it, so I drove back to the store and my worst fears were confirmed. I ended up shelling out another £40 for the same outfit.

The moral of this story? Always check your trolley. And don't rely on the milk of human kindness - especially when it comes to Park Royal.
