They Still Fit

[joggerjayne]

Do you ever find things that you haven't seen for ages, and they still fit?

I know we don't really grow after about 18 (except outwards!), but when I try on something I haven't seen for years, and it still fits ... I'm still oddly surprised.

This week, looking for something else at Mums's, I came across a bag with my old dancing shoes. I'm not sure why, but I brought them home, and they still fit.

Well, they would, I suppose.

They have these sort of felt textured bottoms. They're a bit precarious to walk around in.

Did I ask that already? (scrolls up ...) ... aah, yes, I did.

Armani suit? ... Always worth keeping, Eccles.

Can anyone tell me who gave us this rather amusing quote?



I tried an old tie on the other day but had to throw it out. It was too tight for me.

Indeedy JJ.

It was bought for the wedding of an ex girlfriend of Mr Cake. It was imperative, to me anyway, that I looked my best.

I have a very vivid memory of walking out the Armani store and straight into a wine bar and ordering a large glass of wine to help me recover from the shock of what I had just done.

One never needs an excuse to wander into a wine bar!

When i was 16 I was 5 foot tall and weighed 8 stone.
When I was 25 I was 6 foot 2 inch and weighed 15 stone.
I am now 62 and am 5 foot 11 inch tall and weigh less than 10 stone.
Lesson to be learned. Don't work too hard.

I reckon I could still get into my school uniform, and I'm 52!
