    I won, I won!!

    I was watching this Black Workman UK, and since it hadn't moved from $131 since I found it last week, I decided to throw in on it - fully expecting to get it sniped out from under me. Apparently no-one was watching, because I won at $133.50!

    Cool! Now I have 3 kilts that fit at this "winter weight" I've found myself at!

    (Now I've got to start losing that extra 30 pounds. )

    Of course you won, you are a poster here aren't you? Congratulations on winning! It must have been the $.50.

    I realised that I made a truly wicked comment about people who buy kilts so immediately went onto eBay and saw three ladies kilts for sale with 40 minutes to go - bid on them and got them for 13UK pounds - plus postage.

    I am now a buyer of kilts, so will even have something to wear should there ever be a gathering of the xmarks clan on the South Coast of England - and it is now 4.40 am Monday - another long stint sewing to take a kilt in a couple of inches so it fits properly.

    Maybe there can be a diet that works too well - my waist is shrinking faster than I can adjust my kilt size.

    That was a total bargain and a very sneaky trick, must try that some time...
    I did notice all things tartan has a fair list of specials at the mo. a few more than I've seen before anyway.

    Just plain ol' Atkins - I can't eat carbs - not and maintain my weight, cut out the carbs and woosh - the inches are just vanishing. Still got a way to go - I was clinically obese.
