Ahhhhh, these jeans! I've wanted some patchwork denim for a few years now, it was this picture of Jane Birkin that started off the whole thing and then Chloé sent this look down the catwalk and I was a woman on a mission. After three years of searching (yep, serious business!) I found these on the H&M website...I predict we will have many happy times together. I've seen loads of bad reviews about H&M's online service but apart from these taking about a week to be delivered I have no complaints. I had to return the first pair by post as they were way too tiny so I had to exchange for a pair that were two sizes bigger than my usual (that still only just fit, the sizing is crazy!) and there were no problems at all. I actually managed to bag these for the bargain sum of £14 as I had a fiver off thing plus 25% off so I'm extra happy! Someone told me that these make me look like a child tramp in a panto but I love them, they even make me feel a little like Jane (I know, I'm laughing at me too!)

I needed a bit of cheering up actually, been feeling a little down in the dumps. I went to clinic to get some tablets (hopefully they'll work so I won't need IVs during Christmas!) and my weight has gone back to the crappy weight I was when I was ill. My lung function is now also rubbish, it was only 35% (usually when people's LF goes down to about 30% permanently they start talking about lung transplants.) Luckily my LF isn't permanently that low, it's usually at least 10% higher but that tells you how breathless I am right now! I do so much medicine a physio everyday, like I've been doing since I was two years old, but there's not much I can do if I catch a bug I'm gonna get ill...and I catch literally everything that goes about this time of year so I'm basically unwell all winter. Obvs I carry on doing all the meds and that but it's just a bit frustrating that after all the hard work I do (it's like a full time job that you never get a break from!) I just end up back at square one. CF is such a scrooge, does it not know it's the most wonderul time of the year? I guess things could be worse, they'll get better when my mum comes home from holiday later today because ma's hugs make everything better, right?
